ENGLISH VERSION 2 We, members of Kagaene Cluster, are glad to have joined TIST. We have learned new agricultural practices that continue to increase crop yields from our farms. Conservation Farming has proven it works and brings more yields than conventional farming. Further, it has helped reduce the labor and time needed to prepare the shamba. Unlike with conventional farming, there is no land tilling with Conservation farming. We only clear the weeds, prepare holes, plant and then weed. We continue to encourage other TIST and non-TIST members to adopt Conservation Farming. We have set up a CF demonstration plot in our Cluster where farmers can learn through seeing. Many farmers have been impressed and as a result, five (5) new Small Groups have joined TIST recently. Kagaene Cluster has a total of 106 Small Groups with 680 members who have planted over 94,000 trees, counted and kept alive. Our goal is to continue encouraging more farmers to join TIST, so that together, we may improve our local and regional climate. We want to tackle most of our current challenges together such as food security, drought, and water quality. We, Kibuline Cluster, have major plans to increase our trees numbers. We have established a Cluster tree nursery with over 30,000 Grevillea seedlings. Our members resolved to use the monthly budget we receive from TIST to establish a Cluster tree nursery. We bought polytubes and members volunteered with labor. 

We specifically choose Grevillea because we also wanted fodder for our animals especially during dry season. We have also observed Grevellia trees do not hurt other crops on the farm. Indeed, it provides shade and adds compost manure when the leaves fall. We are hoping this new planting will increase our Cluster trees total from 26,132 to over 60,000 trees. Individual Small Groups members also have their small tree nurseries and therefore the count could be even higher. During our Cluster meeting last month, we established a Conservation Farming demonstration plot.This is intended to help many farmers learn so that they may practice in their farms. Our activities are also encouraging other farmers join TIST. We have recently registered (4) Small Groups so we now have 36 TIST Small Groups in our Cluster. Kagaene TIST Cluster: Embracing TIST Best Practices. By Alice Kambura, Cluster Servant Kibuline TIST Cluster: Preparing for a major tree planting come rainy season. By Alice Kambura, Cluster Servant We, Kamaroo Cluster, are happy to share our progress with other Clusters within TIST. 

We are working together to help each other and importantly improve our livelihood.TIST has offered us a platform to share our ideas, test them and embrace those that work for us. Cluster meetings offer us with an opportunity to bring diverse suggestions and ideas which are discussed and evaluated.Those that are within our capability are agreed upon for adoption. For instance, in the past few months, members explored various ways that we could have multiple benefits from trees. We reasoned together that we need to try different trees that will also help improve our economic livelihood. We decided to try macadamia trees. Macadamia nuts fetch good prices in the market today. We decided to establish a macadamia Cluster nursery. We agreed to use our monthly budget to buy polytubes and other necessary materials we indentified to start this nursery. Last month, we spend our cluster meeting time setting up a seedbed. We will be back here again, to share with you our progress. In the meantime, please let us know what your Cluster is doing. Together, we grow! Kamaroo Cluster: Macadamia Trees for Nuts and For Cleaning the Air. By Alice Kambura, Cluster Servant. ENGLISH VERSION 3 P racticing rotational and servant leadership has helped us experience new ideas. We now run a very successful merry go round whereby we buy 3 ken poly chairs for five members each, every month.This is an idea that came from one of the farmers when he was a leader. Besides this welfare, we have continue to grow in strength. We multiplied from Kilindini Cluster last year, and today, by efforts of our selves, we have 40 active small groups, and over 20,000 trees counted in our Cluster. 

We , members of Magutuni cluster are grateful since we multiplied from our mother cluster Kilindini since last year. We have established a Clsuter tree nursery with over 6,000 seedlings ready to be planted in coming rainy season. Magutuni Cluster: Rotational leadership helps bring New Ideas. By Annet Kaari, Cluster Servant. TIST: Best Tree Species. Common Names Tree description Land type Uses Seedling information Other notes Mango Magnifera indica Densely leafed evergreen tree, dark green leaves, edible fruit Best in tropical zones with a pronounced dry season Firewood, food, fodder, beeforage, windbreaks, mulch, ornamental, shade, canoes Can be sown directly into seedbeds or pots, or direct into the ground. No pretreatment needed, but nipping seed enhances germination Grafted material is used for better fruit production. Good varieties have fruits without fibre and do not smell like turpentine. Fruit is rich in Vitamins A & C. Grevillea robusta Silky oak Semi-deciduous, oval leafy crown, 

dark grey bark, green, silvery leaves, golden-orange flowers Needs fairly welldrained soil Firewood, charcoal, poles, timber, fodder, bee forage, soil conservation, shade No pre-treatment of seeds needed Planted with tea, coffee and rubber as boundaries. Grows well with food crops if managed to reduce shade. Important dry season fodder D uring your Cluster Meeting, let members discuss in groups and write a list of trees they think are good to grow in their area (trees that have lots of benefits but minimal disadvantages).Then ask the groups for feedback their answers. Each group gives one answer at a time, then rotate around the groups until all the answers have been given. Make sure all the groups have written down the full list.Then ask them to go back into their groups to discuss which they think are the six most important trees. Take the feedback answers and write down the new list. Discuss the list in the large group and get people to agree on the final version of the list. Once you have the list of the six best trees to plant, ask the groups to think about the following questions: • What is the best type of land for this tree?

 • What are the main uses of this tree? 

• Describe the tree – color, flowers, bark, thorns etc. 

• What is the best way to grow the seedlings? Is any treatment needed for the seeds before they are sown? • How long do the seeds normally take to germinate? 

• How long after germination do you transplant the seedlings? 

• Are there any disadvantages of this tree? 

It may be good to use the following table to help you organize the information. Example of table you can use (Mango and Grevillea are examples only): ENGLISH VERSION 4 Remind Cluster Members that the best trees for TIST need to be long-term trees. Trees will not be large enough to get carbon credits until they are mature, maybe after 20 years. When a TIST tree is cut down there are two impacts for the program: a. The group will no longer be paid any money for the tree, as only live trees absorb carbon dioxide. b. Remember when Clean Air Action Corporation gets money from selling carbon credits, all the costs of the program have to be covered first.Then 70% of the profit goes to the groups. This is stated in the contract. If CAAC has spent a lot of money paying for groups that cut their trees down they have lost a lot of unnecessary money. These costs have to be paid for and so there will be less money for the groups who kept their trees alive. So cutting down TIST trees hurts the program and the small groups. Indigenous Trees. a. Prunus Africana (Kikuyu: Muiri, Kimeru: Mweria) This indigenous tree is mainly found in forest reserves. Seeds are available in forests, during the dry season. Collect only dark brown ripe fruits from the crown of the tree or the ground. Remove the pulp by soaking it for 24 hours, then wash over a wire mesh. Spread in a thin layer in an airy shaded place to dry – but for 4 hours only. The seed does not store well so use the fresh seed. Wrapping moist leaves around the seed minimizes moisture loss during temporary transport and storage. Sow the seeds directly into the seedbed or pots with germination taking 6-8 weeks. Uses: 

• Can repel some pests e.g. aphids, nematodes (those which attack crops) by its smell. Flowers have sufficient nectar and pollen for good bee forage. Produces high-quality firewood. 

• Medicine: Liquid extracts from bark are used in the treatment of prostate cancer. Leaves are used as an inhalant for fever or are drunk as an infusion to improve appetite. Water is added to pounded bark, and the red liquid is used as a remedy for stomach-ache; bark extract may be used as a purgative for cattle. 

• Erosion control: Trees can be grown along contour ridges and terraces, provides useful shade and acts as a windbreak. 

• Soil improver: Leaves can be used as mulch and green manure. 

• Ornamental: It makes an attractive garden shade tree. b. Peacock Flower (Albizia gummifera, Kikuyu: Mukurwe) This tree is commonly found in lowland and upland rainforests and in open habitats near forests. Either untreated or soaked seeds are sown while fresh seeds need no pre-treatment. Stored seeds are soaked in warm water and left to cool at room temperature. The seed coat may be nicked at the cotyledon end to hasten germination. Seed germination is good 70- 80%, within 10 days. Seeds should be collected while still on the tree to minimize insect damage. Seed can be stored for at least a year if kept dry and insect free through addition of ash. Uses: 

• Bee-forage, fuel wood, timber, gum, tannin, 

• Medicine: extracts from the crushed pods are taken for stomach pains and the bark decoction for malaria 

• Erosion control: the root system holds soil and prevents gulley erosion

 • Shade, nitrogen fixing (improves the soil), known as a good mulch tree as leaf litter is abundant during the leaf shedding season, 

• Ornamental (planted in town avenues for aesthetic purposes), boundary planting, the leaves quicken the ripening process in bananas. c. Olea Africana (African wild olive, Kikyuyu: Mutamaiyu, Kimeru: Muthata) This tree is found in a variety of habitats, usually near water, on stream banks, and also in open ENGLISH VERSION 5 woodland. It is resistant to both frost and drought. Fresh seeds are used for sowing. Old seeds can be soaked in cold water for 48 hours. Seeds are often pre-treated by cracking with a hand vice or by rolling a stone over seeds to remove the endocarp to enhance germination.The seeds can be stored at dry room temperature for a few years. Uses: 

• Food: the main olive products are olive oil and edible olives. 

• Fodder: The plants are much browsed on by livestock.Also used for fuel, timber, charcoal, tooth brushes and ornaments. 

• Reclamation: The high drought tolerance suggests that it is a good candidate for reforestation in semi-arid zones of Africa. 

• Ornamental: Olive trees have the capacity to beautify the landscape. d.Waterberry (Syzygium guineense, Kikyuyu: 

Mukoe, Kimeru: Muriru) This tree usually occurs in lowland rain forest and mountain rain forests. It commonly grows in moist conditions, sometimes even in water, and is usually found along streams. Seeds need no pre-sowing treatment, as germination rates are good and uniform. Rates of 80-90% are attained after 20 to 50 days. Direct sowing into pots is recommended. Fruits are perishable and should be picked from the ground soon after falling. They may also be collected by shaking the branches with hooks.After collection, the fruits should be sown out immediately, as seeds will lose viability if they are dried. If this is not possible, fruit can be stored for a few days in moist sawdust and open containers in well-ventilated rooms. Uses: Food from fruit, bee forage, timber, fuel wood, shade, and medicine (fruit is used as a remedy for dysentery, while a decoction of the bark is used to prevent diarrhea). Note the poisonous bark has been reported to cause human deaths, so advice should be sought from people experienced in using the products from this tree. Fruit Trees. Avocado (Persea Americana) Ecology: grown in all moist areas Pre-treatment: soak seeds in cold water for 24 hours, and then plant directly into pots. Use fresh seeds as they do not store. Seedlings can also be grafted while germination takes 3-4 weeks and spacing should be at least 6m.

 These trees are normally planted around the home. Uses: Firewood, charcoal, food, shade, cosmetics, oil.The fruit is nutritious, rich in fat, protein and vitamins, but bark, leaves and seeds are toxic to browsing animals. Seedlings can be intercropped with beans when young.This tree can be a good income-earner. Guava (Psidium guajava, Kikuyu: Mubera) Ecology: Requires rainfall, drought resistant but can’t tolerate water-logging Seeds: no pre-treatment required, germination: 3 weeks. Spacing: 4m. Uses: Firewood, charcoal, poles, food, edible fruit rich in vitamin C and vitamin A.This tree bears fruit in 3-4 years and the wood is termite resistant.The dried ripe fruits are recommended as a remedy for dysentery, while the leaves and fruits are used as a cure for diar- rhea. Oil exhibits anti-inflammatory properties and the leaves or bark are made into a lotion for skin complaints, ringworm, wounds, and ulcers.The leaves are also used for digestive tract ailments, cold, and high blood pressure, trauma, pain, headache, and rheumatism.The juice is used to help hepatitis, gonorrhea, and diarrhea. Intercropping: Performs well when intercropped with fodder crops such as maize, sorghum and cowpeas. Mango (Magnifera indica) ENGLISH VERSION 6 Ecology: Does not tolerate flooding and needs well- drained soil. It can do quite well in dry areas. Seeds: 

No pre-treatment required, although nipping the seed helps germination. Seeds can be stored for a month at room temperature, fresh seeds are best. Can also use grafts. Uses: Fuel wood, fruit, fodder, bee-forage, windbreaks, mulch, shade, soil conservation, and gum. Alternatives to Eucalyptus. Many environmentalists are concerned about the impact eucalyptus has on the environment. The arguments against eucalyptus are complicated, firstly because there are many different species of eucalyptus, and secondly because scientists are still uncertain about some of the evidence. However, here are some of the arguments against planting eucalyptus that many environmentalists believe: 

• The trees can dry up the land by taking a lot of water from the ground 

• The trees can use a lot of soil nutrients making the land unsuitable for agriculture 

• The leaves do not decompose easily, and some say even decrease beneficial soil microorganisms. 

• Some types of local flora and fauna cannot survive in eucalyptus plantations. Whilst many of these points are not agreed upon by everyone, there is enough concern over the issue that TIST has to listen carefully. Some small groups have commented that they have seen water levels drop since planting eucalyptus.TIST would advise all farmers not to plant eucalyptus in wetlands, alongside streams or on productive agricultural land. However, some land may be suitable for eucalyptus and your local forester can advise you. There is a second reason why TIST does not encourage eucalyptus. Many farmers will harvest their timber in less than 20 years.This means that TIST will not be able to sell the carbon credits, as only live trees qualify. 

If TIST wastes a lot of money paying incentives for trees that will be cut down in under twenty years, there will be less money for the groups who have planted and faithfully maintained long-term trees. Farmers may still want to have groves of eucalyptus grown specifically for firewood and timber. Grown in the right areas, these groves may well help reduce pressure on natural forests. However, groves grown for timber should not be counted for the TIST program. Therefore, to increase biodiversity, to protect your land and to encourage long-term trees that will qualify for carbon payment, we encourage groups to think of alternatives to eucalyptus. Encourage participants to discuss the above issues. Does anyone have any experience about the disadvantages of eucalyptus? What are good alternatives? The following trees are some suggestions from the Kenya trainers. Grevillea Robusta (Silky Oak, Kikuyu: Mukima) Ecology: Needs fairly well-drained soil Seeds: No pre-treatment needed and seeds can be stored for up to three months, or longer if refrigerated with pacing 4-5m. Uses: Firewood, charcoal, poles, timber, fodder, bee forage, soil conservation, shade. Planted with tea and coffee plantations as boundaries.

 It grows well with crops if managed properly to reduce shade and can be an important source of dry season fodder. Cyprus (Cupressus lusitanica, Kikuyu: mutarakwa, muthithinda) This tree is found in seasonally moist to permanently moist climates and a dry season lasting not more than 2-3 months. It cannot withstand waterlogging but flourishes in deep, moist, welldrained, fertile loams of neutral to slightly acidic composition. Pre-treatment of seeds is not necessary. Seed can be stored for up to 6 months. Uses: Timber, fuel wood, poles, ornamental, windbreaks, shade, live fence. As Cyprus gives only limited protection against soil erosion, pure stands on slopes or erosion-prone sites should be under-planted with other suitable species. It is also not good for intercropping.

Page 3 Members of Kibuline Cluster during their monthly Cluster meeting last month. During this meeting, we established a Conservation Farming (CF) demonstration plot. Inside: KISWAHILI VERSION 2 S isi, wanacluster ya Kagaene, tunafuraha kuwa katika TIST. Tumesoma njia mpya za ukulima ambazo zaendelea kuongeza uzalishaji kutokana na mashamba yetu. Njia ya Kilimo hai imeonyesha kufanya kazi na kuleta mavuno zaidi kuliko ukulima wa kawaida. Kuongez, imesaidia kupunguza kazi na wasaa unaohitajika katika harakati ya kutayarisha shamba. Tofauti na ukulima wa kawaida, kulima shamba hakuhitajiki katika kilimo hai. Tunatoa magugu tu, kutayarisha mashimo, kupanda halafu kutoa magugu tena. Tunaendelea kuwahamasisha wengine katika TIST na pia wasio katika TIST kuanza kutumia njia ya ilimo hai. Tumeanzisha shamba la maonyesho ya kilimo hai katika cluster yetu ambapo wakulima wanaweza kusoma kupitia kuona. Wakulima wengi wamefurahishwa nakama matokeo yake, vikundi vidogo vitano vimejiunga na TIST muda mfupi uliopita Cluster ya Kagaene ina vikundi mia moja na sita vilivyo na memba mia sita themanini ambao wamepanda zaidi ya miti elfu tisini nan ne, iliyohesabiwa na iliyo hai. 

Lengo letu ni kuendelea kuwatia nguvu wakulima wengine kuingia katika TIST, ili pamoja, tuweze kuboresha hali ya anga ya tulipo na ile changamoto tulizo nazo pamoja kama usalama wa chakula, ukame na ubora wa maji. S isi, cluster ya Kibuline, tuna mipango mikubwa ya kuongeza miti yetu. Tumeanzisha kitalu cha miti cha cluster kilicho na miche ya Grevillea zaidi ya elfu thelathini. Memba wetu wameamua kutumia pesa za mwezi za cluster zinazotokana na TIST kuanzisha kitalu cha miti katika cluster. Tulinunua mifuko na memba wakajitolea kufanya kazi. Tulichagua Grevillea hasa kwa sababu tunataka chakula cha mifugo sana sana katika msimu wa kiangazi. Pia tumeona kuwa miti ya Grevillea haidhuru mimea mingine katika shamba. Kwa kweli, unaipa kivuli na kuongeza mbolea majani yanapoanguka. Tunatumaini kuwa upanzi huu mpya utaongeza miti yetu ya cluster kutoka elfu ishirini na sita mia moja na thelathini na tatu hadi zaidi ya miti elfu sitini. Memba wa vikundi vidogo pia wana vitalu vyao vya kibinafsi na hivyobasi miti yaweza kuwa ata zaidi. Katika mkutano wa cluster yetu mwezi uliopita, tulianzisha shamba la maonyesho ya kilimo hai. Jambo hili linalenga kusaidia wakulima wengi kusoma ili waweze kulima kwa njia hii katika mashamba yao. Shughuli zetu pia zinawatia moyo wakulima wengine kuingia katika TIST. Hivi karibuni tumevisajili vikundi vinne na sasa tuna vikundi thelathini na sita vya TIST katika cluster yetu. S isi, cluster ya Kamaroo, tuna furaha kugawana maendeleo yetu na cluster zingine katika TIST. Tunafanya kazi pamoja kusaidiana na muhimu zaidi kuboresha maisha yetu.TIST imetupa jukwaa la kugawana mawazo yetu, kuyapima na kuchukua yale yanayotusaidia. Mikutano ya cluster hutupa nafasi ya kuleta mapendekezo na mawazo mbali mbali ambayo yanajadiliwa na kupimwa. Tunayoweza kufikia yanaitikiwa ili kutumika. Kwa mfano, baadhi ya miezi iliyopita, wanacluster walitafuta njia mbalimbali ambazo tungetumia kupata faida nyingi kutokana na miti yetu. Tulifikiria pamoja kuwa tunahitaji kujaribu miti mbali mbali ambayo itasaidia kuboresha maisha yetu kiuchumi. Tuliamua kujaribu miti ya Macadamia. Macadamia huuzwa bei nzuri sokoni letu leo. 

Tuliamua kuanzisha kitalu cha cluster cha Macadamia. Tuliitikiana kutumia pesa zetu za bajeti za mwezi kununua mifuko na vifaa vingine muhimu katika kuanzisha kitalu hiki. Mwezi uliopita tulitumia masaa ya mkutano wa cluster kutengeneza kitalu. Tutarudi hapa tena kugawana nanyi kuhusu maendeleo yetu. Kwa wakati huu, tafadhali tujulisheni cluster yenu inavyofanya. Pamoja, tukue! Kagaene TIST Cluster: Kufuatilia mienendo bora ya kufanya mambo katika TIST. Umeletewa na Alice Kambura, Mtumishi katika cluster. Cluster ya TIST ya Kibuline: Kutayarisha upandaji mkubwa wa miti msimu wa mvua ukija. Umeletewa na Alice Kambura, mtumishi katika Cluster.

KISWAHILI VERSION 3 Majina Maelezo ya mti Aina ya ardhi Matumizi Taarifa kuhusu miche Mengineyo Mango Magnifera indica Mti Wenye majani mengi na usioangusha majani, majani yaliyo ya rangi ya kijani kizito, matunda huliwa Bora zaidi katika maeneo ya tropiki yaliyo na msimu wa kiangazi ulio mrefu Kuni, chakula, lishe ya wanyama, lishe ya nyuki, kizuia upepo, kufunika udongo, kurembesha, kivuli, kutengeneza mitumbwi Yaweza kuoteshwa moja kwa moja vitaluni au udongoni. Hakuna matibabu yanayotakikana lakini kuvunja mbegu kidogo husaidia kuotesha kwa urahisi Kupandikizwa huleta uzalishaji bora wa matunda.Aina nzuri huwa na matunda yasiyo na nyuzi na yasiso na harufu kama ya turpentine. Matunda huwa yenye vitamin A na C. Grevillea robusta Silky oak Huangusha baadhi ya majani, taji la majani la mviringo, gome la rangi ya kijivu, majani ya kijani na fedha, maua yenye rangi ya dhahabu na machungwa Huhitaji udongo usioweka maji kwa muda mrefu Kuni, 

makaa, fito, mbao, lishe ya mifugo, lishe ya nyuki, kuhifadhi udongo, kivuli Hakuna matibabu yanayohitajika kabla ya kupanda mbegu Hupandwa pamoja na majani chai, kahawa na rubber kama mipaka. Hukua vizuri pamoja na mimea ya vyakula ikitengenezwa kupunguza kivuli. Ni lishe nzuri sana ya mifugo wakati wa kiangazi Matumizi ya uongozi na utumishi wa mzunguko umetusaidia kufikiwa na mawazo mapya. Sasa tunaendeleza mzunguko uliofanikiwa sana ambapo tunanunulia kila mmoja wa memba watano viti vitatu vya plastiki kila mwezi. Wazo hili lilitokana na mkulima mmoja wao alipokuwa kiongozi. Mbali na ustawi huo, tunaendelea kukua kinguvu. Tulizaana kutokana na cluster ya Kilindini mwaka uliopita na leo, kupitia kazi yetu, tuna vikundi arobaini na zaidi ya miti elfu ishirini iliyohesabiwa katika cluster yetu. Sisi, wanacluster ya Magutuni tuna shukrani kutoka tulipozaliwa na cluster mama yetu Kilindini mwaka uliopita. Tumeanzisha kitalu cha cluster cha miti kilicho na zaidi ya miche elfu sita iliyo tayari kupandwa msimu ujao wa mvua. Katika mkutano wenu wa cluster, waache wanacluster wajadiliane katika vikundi na waandike orodha ya miti wanayofikiri hukua vizuri katika eneo lao (miti iliyo na faida nyingi na hasara chache). Halafu uwaulize vikundi kuleta majibu yao. Kila kundi lipeane jibu moja moja, halafu mzunguke vikundi vyote hadi majibu yote yatakapopeanwa. Hakikisha vikundi vyote vimeandika orodha kamili. Halafu uwaulize warudi vikundini kujadiliana ni ipi wanayofikiri kuwa miti sita muhimu zaidi. Yachukue majibu na uandike orodha mpya. Jadilianeni katika kikundi kikubwa na waache watu waitikie orodha ya mwisho. Utakapopata orodha ya miti sita bora zaidi ya kupanda, waulize vikundi kufikiria kuhusu maswali haya: 

• Ni aina gani ya ardhi iliyo bora zaidi kwa mti huu?

 • Matumizi muhimu ya mti huu ni yapi? 

• Eleza mti –rangi, maua, gome, miiba na kadhalika. 

• Ni njia gani bora zaidi ya kukuza miche? Kuna matibabu yoyote huhitajika kable ya kukuza mbegu? 

• Ni muda gani mbegu huchukua kabla ya kuota?

 • Ni muda gani baada ya kuota huhitajika kabla ya kupandikiza miche? 

• Kuna hasara zozote zinazotokana na mti huu? 

Inaweza kuwa vizuri kutumia meza ifuatayo kukusaidia kuandaa taarifa hii. Mfano unaoweza kutumia (Muembe na Grevillea ni mifano pekee): Cluster ya Magutuni: Uongozi wa mzunguko huleta mawazo mapya. Umeletewa na Annet Kaari, Mtumishi katika cluster. TIST: Aina bora zaidi za miti. KISWAHILI VERSION 4 Awakumbushe wanacluster kuwa miti bora zaidi kwa TIST yafaa kuwa ya muda mrefu. Miti haitakuwa mikubwa kutosha kupata malipo ya kaboni hadi ikikomaa, yaweza kuwa baada ya miaka ishirini. Mti wa TIST unapokatwa kuna athari mbili kwa mradi huu: a. Kikundi hicho hakitalipwa pesa yoyote ya mti huo, kwani ni miti tu iliyo hai huchukua hewa chafu ya kaboni. b. Kumbuka kampuni CAAC itakapopata pesa kutokana na kuuza hewa iliyosafishwa, gharama ya mradi lazima ilipwe kwanza. Halafu asilimia ya faida iende kwa vikundi. Hili limeandikwa katika mkataba. Iwapo CAAC imetumia pesa nyingi katika vikundi vinavyokata miti itakuwa imepoteza pesa nyingi. Gharama hizi lazima zilipiwe na hivyobasi kutakuwa na pesa kidogo zaidi kwa vikundi vilivyoweka miti yao hai. Kwa hivyo kukata miti ya TIST huathiri mradi na pia vikundi vidogo. Miti ya kiasili a. Prunus africana (Kikuyu: Muiri, Kimeru: Mweria) Mti huu wa kiasili unapatikana sana katika hifadhi za misitu. Mbegu zipo misituni wakati wa kiangazi. Kusanya tu matunda yaliyoiva ya hudhurungi kutoka taji la mti ama ardhini. Toa rojo kwa kulowesha masaa ishirini na nne, kisha uoshe juu ya waya wenye matundu. Eneza kwa safu nyembamba katika eneo lililo na hewa na lililo na kivuli ili kukauka- lakini kwa masaa nne pekee. Mbegu haikai kwa hivyo tumia mbegu mpya. Kufungia majani yakizunguka mbegu hupunguza upotevu wa unyevu wakati wa kusafirisha na kuweka. Panda kitaluni au mifukoni moja kwa moja. Kuota huchukua wiki sita kufika nane. Matumizi: 

• Dawa ya kukimbiza wadudu waharibifu: 

yaweza kukimbiza wadudu waharibifu kama chawa, viwavi(ambao hushambulia mimea) kwa harufu yake. Maua yana nta na poleni tosha ya kulisha nyuki. Ina kuni bora. 

• Dawa: Rojo kutoka kwa gome hutumiwa kutibu uvimbe wa kibofu. Majani hutumiwa kuvuta ili kutibu homa ama kunywa kama njia ya kuboresha hamu ya kula. Maji huongezwa kwa gome lililopondwa na maji hayo mekundu kutumiwa kutibu maumivu ya tumbo; dondoo la gome kutumiwa kulisha ng’ombe. 

• Kuzuia mmomonyoko wa udongo:Miti yaweza kupandwa matutani, huwa na kivuli chenye manufaa na huzuia upepo. Huboresha udongo. Majani yaweza kutumiwa kufunika udongo ama kama mbolea.

 • Urembo: Huwa mti mzuri wa kivuli unaovutia katika bustani. b. Peacock Flower (Albizia gummifera, Kikuyu: Mukurwe) Mti huu hupatikana sanasana katika misitu ya mvua iliyo mahali tambarare au nyanda za juu na katika makazi wazi karibu na misitu. Mbegu safi hazihitaji kutibiwa kwanza. Mbegu zilizowekwa huloweshwa katima maji yenye joto na kuachwa kupata baridi kwenye joto la kawaida. Gome la mbegu laweza kuvunjwa ili kuharakisha kuota. Mbegu huota vizuri, asilimia sabini kufika themanini katika siku kumi. Mbegu zafaa kukusanywa zikiwa bado mtini ili kupunguza uharibifu wa wadudu.

 Mbegu yaweza kuwekwa kwa muda wa mwaka mmoja ikiwekwa ikiwa kavu na mbali na wadudu kwa njia ya kuongeza majivu. Matumizi:

 • Chakula cha nyuki, kuni, mbao, gundi, tanini, dawa (dondoo kutokana na kuponda maganda hutumiwa kumaliza uchungu wa tumbo na maji ya gome kutibu malaria), kuzuia mmomonyoko wa udongo (mizizi hushika udongo na kuzuia mmonyoko wa udongo kupitia mitaro), 

• Kivuli, kuweka naitrojeni (huboresha udongo), hujulikana kama mti mzuri wa kufunika udongo kwa sababu majani yanayoanguka ni mengi wakati wa msimu wa kuangusha majani, 

• Urembo (Hupandwa katika miji kwa sababu ya urembo wake), 

• Kupanda mipaka, matawi huharakisha kuiva kwa ndizi. c. Olea africana (African wild olive, Kikyuyu: Mutamaiyu, Kimeru: Muthata) KISWAHILI VERSION 5 Mti huu hupatikana maeneo mengi, sana sana karibu na maji, mito na ata maporini. Ni sugu kwa baridi na kwa ukavu. Mbegu kutoka kwa matunda hutumika kuotesha. Mbegu nzee yaweza kuloweshwa kwa maji baridi kwa masaa arobaini na nane. Mbegu sanasana hutibiwa kwa kuvunja na kifaa au kwa kuachilia jiwe juu ya mbegu. Hii ni kwa sababu kutoa ngozi ya ndani ya mbegu husaidia kuota haraka. Mbegu huwekwa mahali pakavu na penye joto la kawaida kwa miaka michache. Matumizi: Chakula: Bidhaa kuu ya mzeituni ni mafuta na matunda yanayoliwa. Lishe: mimea hii huliwa na mifugo. Hutumika pia kama kuni, mbao, makaa, miswaki ya meno na kurembesha. Kuimarisha: kuwa sugu kwa ukavu inapendekeza kuwa mti huu waweza kutumika kuimarisha maeneo Africa yenye ukame. Kurembesha: mzeituni huweza kurembesha ardhi/ mazingira. 

d. Waterberry (Syzygium guineense, Kikyuyu: Mukoe, Kimeru: Muriru) Mti huu sana sana hupatikana misitu iliyo kwa tambarare na iliyo milimani. Hukua sana mahali penye unyevu, mara nyingine ndani ya maji na hupatikana kando ya mito Mbegu hazihitaji kutibiwa, kwani huota haraka na vizuri. Huota kwa asilimia themanini kufika tisini kwa siku za kwanza ishirini hadi hamsini. Kuotesha mifukoni hupendekezwa. Matunda huharibika kwa yanafaa kuokotwa mara moja yakishaanguka. Yanaweza pia kwa kutikisa matawi. Ukishakusanya, matunda yanafaa kuoteshwa mara moja kwani yanaweza kupoteza uwezo wake wa kuota yakikauka; kama ili haliwezekani, matunda yanaweza kuwekwa kwa siku chache kwa machujo ya mbao na ndani ya mikebe kwa chumba chenye kuingiza hewa tosha. Matumizi: Chakula (Matunda), lishe ya nyuki, mbao, kuni/makaa, kivuli, dawa(tunda utumika kutibu ugonjwa wa kuhara damu, maji ya gome nayo hutumika kuzuia ugonjwa wa kuhara). Kumbuka gome ili lenye sumu limeripotiwa kuua watu, kwa hivyo tafuta ujumbe tosha kwa watu wenye uzoefu wa kutumia bidhaa za huu mti. Mitunda Avocado (Persea americana) hukua vizuri zaidi katika maeneo yenye unyevu. Hakikisha kulowa mbegu kwa maji baridi masaa ishirini na nne halafu upande kwa mifuko. Tumia mbegu zilizokusanywa mara moja kwani mbegu hazikai. Miche pia yaweza kukatwa na kukua baada ya wiki tatu kufika nne. Nafasi kati ya miti iwe zaidi ya mita sita na hupandwa san asana karibu na manyumba. Avocado kama chakula hutupa protini, mafuta yenye thamana na vitamini. Miti hii ina matumizi mengi kama kuni, makaa na kivuli. Miche yaweza kupandwa pamoja na maharagwe inapokuwa change. Mti huu waweza kuleta pesa nyingi. Guava (Psidium guajava) Kikuyu; Kimeru-Mubera. Tunda hili linaloliwa ni chanzo zuri la vitamin C na vitamin A. Wakati yameiva, matunda yanapendekezwa kama tiba la kuhara na ugonjwa wa kuharisha. Mafuta ya tunda hili lina uwezo wa kupambana na kuchomwa , na pia majani na gome hutengeneza mafuta ya kupaka ya kutibu shida za ngozi kama minyoo, majeraha na vidonda vya tumbo. Majani yaweza kutumia kutibu magonjwa ya njia ya utumbo kama shinikizo la damu, mshtuko na maumivu. Maji ya mapera husaidia katika ugonjwa wa hepatitis, kisonono na kuhara. Mipera hufanya vizuri inapopandwa pamoja na chakula cha mifugo kama mahindi, mtama na kunde. Miti hii huvumilia ukosefu wa maji, lakini yaweza kuvumilia maji yaliyofurika.

 Mbegu hazihitaji kutibiwa huku zikiota baada ya wiki tatu. Pia ni muhimu kuipa nafasi ya mita nne. Mipera yaweza kuenea katika baadhi ya maeneo na kujaa shambani, lakini hakuna sehemu ya mti huu wa matunda wenye thamani hupoteza nafasi. Mango (Magnifera indica) hutupa faida nyingi za kiafya kwa sababu ya misombo yao ya kusafisha damu, jambo ambalo husaidia kuzuia saratani na ni faida ka afya ya macho na ngozi. Wenye ugonjwa wa kisukari waweza kuchemsha majani katika maji, kuyalowa usiku mzima na kunywa chai asubuhi kusaidia kurejesha sukari katika damu. Kuvunja vunjwa kwa chakula katika matumbo huboreka mtu anapokula embe zima. Miembe haivumilii mafuriko na hihitaji udongo unaolowa maji vizuri na yaweza KISWAHILI VERSION 6 kufanya vizuri katika maeneo makavu. Mbegu hazihitaji kutibiwa ingawa kutobolewa kwa mbegu husaidia kuota. Mbegu hizi zaweza kuwekwa mwezi mmoja kwa joto la kawaida na mbegu zilizotolewa mara hiyo ni bora za kufanyia “grafting”. Hakuna sehemu hupotezwa- kukiwa na matumizi mengi mazuri kama kuni, chakula cha mifugo, chakula cha nyuki, kuvunja upepo, kufunika udongo, kivuli, kuhifadhi udongo na fizi. Miti inayoweza kupandwa badala ya Mikaratusi Wanamazingira wengi wana wasi wasi kuhusu athari ya mikaratusi kwa mazingira. Hoja dhidi ya mikaratusi ni zina ugumu, kwanza kwa sababu kuna aina nyingi za mikaratusi, na pili kwa sababu wanasayansi bado hawana uhakika kuhusu baadhi ya ushahidi. Hata hivyo, zifuatazo ni hoja dhidi ya upanzi wa mikaratusi ambazo wanamazingira wengi huamini: 

• Mit yaweza kukausha ardhi kwa kuchukua maji mengi kutoka chini 

• Miti yaweza kuchukua virutubisho vingi na hivyo kufanya ardhi kutofaa kwa kilimo 

• Majani yake hayatengani kwa urahisi, na baadhi husema hata hupunguza vijidudu vyenye faida katika udongo. 

• Baadhi ya aina za mimea na wanyama wa eneo hilo hawawezi kuishi 

katika mashamba makubwa ya mikaratusi. Ingawa nyingi za hoja hizi hazijakubaliawa na kila mtu, kuna wasi wasi tosha kuhusu suala hili hivyo basi TIST lazima isikize kwa makini. Baadhi ya vikundi vidogo wamesema kuwa wameona miwango cha maji kikipungua tangu walipopanda mikaratufi. TIST inawashauri wakulima wote wasipande mikaratusi katika maeneo oevu, kando ya mito ama katika mashamba yenye uzalishaji mzuri wa kilimo. Hata hivyo, baadhi ya ardhi yaweza kuwa nzuri kwa mikaratusi na mlinda msitu wa karibu aweza kukushauri. Kuna sababu ya pili TIST hahihamasishi mikaratusi. Wakulima wengi watakata miti hii ili kupata mbao baada ya muda usiofika miaka ishirini. Hili litamaanisha TIST haitaweza kuuza kaboni kwa sababu ni miti iliyo hai tu hulipiwa.TIST ikipoteza pesa nyingi kulipia motisha ya miti itakayokatwa katika miaka isiyozidisha ishirini, kutakuwa na pesa kidogo kwa vikundi vilivyopanda miti na kuilinda inavyofaa kwa muda mrefu. Wakulima wanaweza taka kuwa na mashamba ya mikaratusi hasa ya kuni na mbao. Ikipandwa mahali panapofaa, miti hii yaweza kusaidia kupunguza uzito uliowekelewa misitu ya kiasili. Hata hivyo, mashamba haya ya mbao hayafai kuhesabiwa katika mradi wa TIST. Kwa hivyo, kuongeza bionuwai, kulinda ardhi yako na kuimiza miti ya muda mrefu itakayokusaidia kupata malipo ya kaboni, tunawatia nguvu vikundi kufikiria miti ya kupanda badala ya mikaratusi. Waimize washiriki kujadiliana masuala yaliyo hapo juu. Kunaye ameona hasara za mikaratusi? Ni miti ipi mizuri ya kupanda badala yake? Miti ifuatayo ni mapendekezo ya walimu wa Kenya. Grevillea Robusta 

(Silky Oak, Kikuyu: Mukima) Mahali unapokua vizuri: Huhitaji udongo usioweka maji kwa muda mrefu sana Mbegu: Hakuna matibabu ya kabla huhitajika na mbegu zaweza kuwekwa hadi muda wa miezi mitatu au zaidi ukiwekwa mahali penye baridi nyingi na hupandwa ukiacha nafasi ya mita nne kufika tano. Matumizi: Kuni, makaa, fito, mbao, lishe ya mifugo, kuhifadhi udongo, kivuli. Hupandwa pamoja na majani chai na kahawa kama mipaka. Hukua vyema pamoja na mimea ikitunzwa vizuri ili kupunguza kivuli na waweza kuwa chanzo cha maana cha lishe ya mifugo wakati wa kiangazi Cyprus (Cupressus lusitanica, Kikuyu: mutarakwa, muthithinda) Mti hupatikana katika hali ya anga iliyo na unyevu wa kimsimu au yenye unyevu kila wakati pamoja na msimu wa kiangazi usiozidi miezi miwili au mitatu. Hauwezi kuvumilia mafuriko lakini hukua vyema katika udongo mzito, wenye maji, usioweka maji, ulio na rutuba na usio na acidi au wenye acidi kidogo sana. Matibabu ya kabla hayahitajiki. Mbegu zaweza kuwekwa kwa muda wa hadi miezi sita. Matumizi: Mbao, kuni, fito, urembo, kupunguza upepo, kivuli, uzio hai. Kwa sababu mti huu wa Cyprus huupa udongo ulinzi haba kutokana na mmomonyoko wa udongo, miti hii katika miteremko au katika maeneo yaliyona uwezekano mkubwa wa mmomonyoko yafaa kupandwa pamoja na miti aina nyingine inayofaa. Pia miti hii si mizuri ya kilimo mseto. Published by TIST-Kenya.
