ENGLISH VERSION 2 T IST Kenya farmers have a goal of planting additional two (2) million trees in 2018.As of the date of publication of this newsletter, TIST Kenya has quantified 8,940,166 trees. We want to reach 11 million trees, or more, this year. TIST Kenya Leadership Council has discussed and promised every TIST farmer that will plant new trees this year will get an additional one shilling to their tree payment incentive. In additional, a Cluster will get half a shilling for the new trees planted by her farmers. For a Small Group to qualify for this additional shilling, it need to plant additional 30% new trees and those new trees should not be less than 200. Many TIST farmers have reported and testified the benefits of adding more trees in their farms. Today, we have seen farmers who have greatly TIST Farmers to earn additional shilling for every tree they plant in 2018 and keep alive! benefited from honey, wood, fruits, medicines, fodder, shade, compost, and pre-carbon incentives, etc from their tree planting efforts We encourage each farmer to take advantage of current rains to plant more trees. Clusters also should put more encouragement to their farmers. It is important to remember that each Cluster has a goal of planting 250,000 trees. In your Cluster meeting, please talk to your Cluster Servant to check for you on the TIST mobile website how your Cluster is meeting this goal. If your phone has internet, you can visit directly www.tist.org/mobile. Sign in as the “guest” and put the name of your Small Group or your Cluster.” You will be able to see much more detail about your Cluster and your Small Group. T he first to arrive were TIST partners from Taylors of Harrogate and Natural Capital Partners. 

TIST and Taylors are working together to expand TIST best practices to farmers in tea growing areas of Ngere and Makomboki in Muran’ga County, Kionyo and Imenti in Meru County. The field visits were conducted from February 20-24, 2018. The Team visited farms in each of the KTDA tea catchments and a Cluster Meeting in Imenti, and included some members of TIST Kenya Leadership Council, Ben Henneke of TIST US, and officials from Taylors that included, Simon Hotchkin (Head Sustainabilty) Keith Writer (Supply), Paul Coupe (Operations), Ben Newbury (Marketing). Natural Capital Partners was represented by Tom Popple (Senior manager climate change and Sustainability), and Ben Massie. KTDA had Sudi Matara (Manager KTDA foundation), Vincent Mungiria (Operations) and Edward. Charles Magenegene, regional coordinator, KTDA met the team at his office, Imenti Tea Factory. Following a very active and productive Cluster Servant Seminar, TIST partners from Freshfields and Natural Capital Partners (NCP) arrived. Freshfields is a law firm based in United Kingdom (UK). Freshfields is supporting TIST expansion and the creation of 21 new Clusters in East Africa. The Freshfields Team included Gabriel Mpumbani and Alexander Calloway. Natural Capital Partners had Oliver Crouch. TIST was represented by Ben Henneke (US), Pamela, Joshua and Apollo (Uganda), Eunice, Naomi and several other farmers (Kenya) The Team visited TIST groups in Machakos, Embu, Karatina, Solio and Meru. The visitors were impressed by meeting enthusiastic farmers and how TIST is supporting them through trainings for their own development. They also had the chance to meet with TIST KE and TIST UG leaders at Gitoro and share information and questions. At the same time Freshfields visited, TIST Uganda also came in. The Team led by Pamela, Joshua and Apollo had 14 new Cluster Servants from new expansion areas in Uganda. Their purpose of coming was to get more training so that they may serve TIST farmers in their home areas. The fourth group of visitors was students from New England College in US. They jetted in on March 5, 2018 for a seven day visit that concluded on 13th March. Led by their professor, Kevin Martin, this team of 13 students plus one administrator, as well as Brad Neff’s daughter and wife, got an opportunity to see TIST Clusters and visit farms. Among the Cluster meetings they attended were Mikinduri, Nkado, Murinya, Subuiga, Mbajone, Maundu, Kiandiu, Mituntu and Murungai. TIST Kenya is glad to have received and hosted a number of visitors in the last two months – February and March 2018. ENGLISH VERSION 3 a) What is the best way to arrange people during a Small Group meeting? A small circle is the best. Don’t have a table because it creates barriers between people. Don’t have a chair and a large seat for the most important person. In TIST, we all sit the same way. We either all sit on the ground, or we all sit on chairs. b) What do you do if more than twelve people want to join your group? If there are more than twelve people interested in joining your group, it is best to form a new group. The group can split in two, or three or four members of the original group form the core of the new group. This is better than one member trying to start a group alone. Remember to start using rotating leadership straight away. c) What techniques can you use if the group energy is low? 

Split up the group into pairs and get each pair to talk about the task. Dramas also help. Sometimes stopping and each person saying something good that their group is doing can also motivate people again. Also remember to keep the meeting from becoming too long. By having a co-leader who is keeping time, you can focus the group’s energy to making sure the work gets done in the agreed upon time period. Meeting Schedule. To manage time well, a Small Group should have a well-organized meeting schedule. This is important because it will help you keep focus on your agenda and the most important activities. It is also important because in TIST, we commit to work together for the long-term to grow and maintain our trees for the carbon market. We need to know our fellow Small Group members well, since each person’s actions impact our whole group and all of TIST. It is important, too, for your Small Group to have regular meetings, preferably once a week or once in two weeks. This will give all members in your group an opportunity to strengthen your group and share and learn new ideas. During your meeting, it is necessary to focus on important issues. Many TIST Small Groups have found the process below as a best practice for successful meetings: Step I. Greetings and introductions for any new members (5 – 15 minutes): Make sure everyone feels welcomed. Make it brief but let each person introduce him or herself. Step II. Opening prayer (2 minutes): A short word of prayer can help the group unite. Step III. Songs (5 minutes): These could be songs written by your group, or songs that encourage people such as religious songs. Step IV. Agreement on task and time (5 minutes): The meeting’s leader explains what was planned for the meeting and the group members discuss and then agree on what the agenda should be. The time spent on each task or discussion should be agreed so that the co-leader can help keep the meeting on time. Step V. Group work on tasks (1 hour): Ideally, tasks should have been discussed at the end of the last meeting. Tasks might include sharing what each person has done to help TIST activities, sharing best practices, training on some subject of interest, and any other important issue that will help your Small Group to prosper. Step VI. Kujengana (5 minutes): Each group member makes one positive, specific statement to that week’s leader about his or her observable leadership of the meeting. In addition, anyone may identify a gift seen in the leader. Step VII. Closing prayer (2 minutes) Small Group Techniques: Group interaction. ENGLISH VERSION 4 We are very proud that almost all TIST members are following the TIST Values and living by the contract that they signed. Very few TIST members have broken the contract, clear cut their trees, and sold them for other uses. In fact, less than 1% of the 40,000 TIST groves in Kenya have been cut during the thirteen years that TIST has been operating in Kenya. The purpose of having regular thinning is to achieve maximum growth and value of the trees that are left standing. The cuttings also provide firewood, poles, building materials, and other benefits directly to the TIST participant. That is the reason that we have the policy of creating a sustainable forest by only harvesting a maximum of 5% of the trees per year, after the trees are 10 years old. When an occasional TIST member decides to clear cut their grove, they harm all the rest of the TIST members in their Small Group, in their Cluster and in all of Kenya. The actions of very few people can cause problems for everyone. We expect other Small Group members and members of the Cluster to pay attention and make sure that no one cuts trees before they are supposed to. The OLC is going to work with some of the participants who made a mistake and cut the trees to work out a proper plan for those people to reinvest some of their profits into the TIST Program so they are able to help other farmers rather than hurt them. When we signed the GhG Agreement, we committed to maintain the trees we plant for TIST to let them grow for 30 years before harvest. 

This is one reason it’s so important to think carefully about what kinds of trees we want to grow on our farms. Thinning and pruning can help keep trees healthy and provide useful products while the trees grow. The purpose of thinning and pruning trees is to improve individual tree health, as well as overall forest health. This is done by protecting the “best” trees in the forest and thinning the others. For many species like grevillea, eucalyptus and cypress, the trees to thin around are the largest trees, each with a single, straight stem. Trees may have different needs for space depending on species, site, planting style (woodlot, incorporated into crop fields, or windbreak), and climate, but some general principles apply. To grow strong, healthy trees, a spacing of two meters or more is recommended. This spacing works for many TIST trees (i.e. grevillea and cypress), but remember some trees require more space like mango and macadamia. Giving trees proper spacing helps them get enough water and nutrients to grow to their full potential. Closer spacing is acceptable when trees are young. As the trees begin to mature, some trees will be larger and more robust than their neighbors. These are the trees that should be kept. In determining which trees should be removed, look at the best trees and determine if they are appropriately spaced. If they are not, you should remove some nearby trees. When making thinning choices, remember that growth rate varies greatly by species. If a mango tree is growing near lots of eucalyptus, the mango may be far smaller and slower growing than the fast-growing eucalyptus, but it certainly should not be cut simply because it is smaller! A mango tree is of great importance due to its usefulness in producing fruit for food and sale. Best Practices while Thinning 

• Allow crop trees to grow to maturity 

• Thin to proper stocking (number of trees per acre). In TIST, we can select up to 5% of our trees, after 10 years, thinning by selecting as they grow, and providing income. 

• Remove dying, diseased, decaying, and poor quality trees 

• Protect trees from logging damage 

• Use low-impact logging methods 

• Promote tree species diversity 

• Monitor your forest for insect and disease outbreaks 

• Cooperate with government agencies in controlling forest insect and disease outbreaks 

• Prevent wild fire Thinning your trees for successful growth - avoid clear - cutting! DO NOT do this Clear cutting DO THIS ENGLISH VERSION 5 The Rains Have Come – Time to Plant Many More Trees. Preparing seedlings for transplanting (Hardening Off) Now that the rains have come, seedlings need to be planted out. It is important this month to make sure that seedlings will be ready to be moved from the nursery and planted in the field. Seedlings first need to be prepared for the harsher conditions of the field. If seedlings have been properly looked after in a nursery, they may have received more water and shade than they will have once they have been planted. Gradually reduce the watering and expose the seedlings to full sunlight to make this transition successful. Characteristics of good seedlings As a general guide (remember different species have different characteristics) good seedlings for planting out have the following characteristics: § The shoot should be twice the length of the roots or the pot. § The stem should be strong and woody. § The seedlings should have many thin roots in addition to the main roots. § Many seedlings will achieve these characteristics two months after germinating. Transplanting. § Transport the seedlings in an upright position. § Mark out a circle with a diameter of 30cm in the field. § Remove the topsoil and place in a pile. § Remove the next soil layer to a depth of 30cm and place in a separate pile. § Put in a 5cm layer of grass (dry grass in rainy season, fresh grass in dry season, called mulching). Some groups add manure as well. § Remove the seedling from the polythene bag. Do not break the earth-balls around the roots. § Place the seedling in the hole § Replace the topsoil first, then the second soil layer. § Some groups do not fill the hole completely, but leave a gap of a few cm.This helps the rainwater enter the hole and infiltrate the soil. § This can be especially helpful in dry areas. § Any remaining soil can be placed in a mound on the downhill side of the seedling.This will help trap any rainwater and divert it into the hole. § Water the seedling. Also remember that to give your seedling the best chance of survival, you should plant them 3m - 4m apart. If you plant them closer together then the seedlings will not get all the water and soil nutrients they need because there is much competition.They will become weak and may die so follow the best practice of a spacing of 2.5 - 3m. ENGLISH VERSION 6 Trees are very important for environmental and material reasons: A. Environmental improvement:

 • Trees cover soil, which protects it from wind and water erosion. 

• Leaves and twigs fall to the ground and provide the soil with extra nutrients. 

• Trees increase soil moisture by covering the soil and hence reducing evaporation. 

• Tree roots help bind the soil and therefore reduce erosion. 

• Tree roots also help water to enter the soil and improve underground water circulation. 

• Trees improve local weather conditions by increasing the amount of water vapor in the air (increased humidity).

 • Trees improve air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. 

• Trees provide shade and shelter. B. Material and nutritional value: 

• Construction materials (furniture, posts, fences, rope etc.) 

• Fuel wood 

• Medicine. 

• Food/fodder. These benefits are really valuable for farmers and for the world.A recent survey of TIST farmers in Kenya showed that the value of fruits, nuts, fodder, and firewood from trees they have planted in TIST and improved yield from using Conservation Farming averaged almost 37,000 shillings per farmer. It’s harder to put a value on the benefits of cooler, moister soil, cleaner air, and some of the other benefits of the work we do in TIST, but we feel it on our farms every day. Promoting tree planting is of great importance to the community. Imagine what we can do when we plant more together! During wet seasons, malaria infections become common. Mosquitoes, which are responsible for the spread of malaria pathogens, breed fast. It is important to look after your home to reduce the presence of mosquitoes. These steps can help:

 • Clear your compound of any unwanted bushes or grasses. The Importance of Trees. 

• Drain away any stagnant water near your compound. Stagnant water provides a breeding ground for mosquitoes. • Clear away any leftover food overnight. 

• Keep rubbish outside the house in a covered container or rubbish pit. 

• Sweep your house and compound daily. Remember to use mosquito nets when possible. Controlling Mosquitoes. Published by TIST-Kenya.

KISWAHILI VERSION 2 T IST wakulima wa Kenya wana lengo la kupanda miti miwili miwili (2) milioni mwaka 2018. Kuanzia tarehe ya kuchapishwa kwa jarida hili, TIST Kenya imethibitisha miti 8,940,166. Tunataka kufikia miti milioni 11, au zaidi, mwaka huu. 

Halmashauri ya Uongozi wa TIST ya Kenya imejadili na kuahidi kila mkulima wa TIST atakayepanda miti mpya mwaka huu atapata shilingi ya ziada kwa msukumo wa malipo ya mti. Kwa ziada, Cluster itapata shilingi nusu kwa miti mpya iliyopandwa na wakulima wake. Kwa Kundi Ndogo ili kustahili shilingi hii ya ziada, inahitaji kupanda miti zaidi ya 30% na miti hiyo mpya haipaswi kuwa chini ya 200. Wakulima wengi wa TIST wameripoti na kushuhudia manufaa ya kuongeza miti zaidi katika mashamba yao. Leo, tumeona wakulima ambao wamefaidika sana na asali, kuni, matunda, dawa, chakula, kivuli, mbolea, na kichocheo kabla ya kaboni, nk kutoka kwa juhudi zao za upandaji miti Sisi tunahimiza kila mkulima kutumia faida ya mvua za sasa kupanda mimea zaidi ya miti. Makundi pia yanapaswa kuwahimiza wakulima wao zaidi. Ni muhimu kukumbuka kwamba kila kikundi kina lengo la kupanda miti 250,000. Katika mkutano wako wa Cluster, tafadhali zungumza na Mtumishi wako wa Cluster ili kukuangalia kwenye tovuti ya simu ya TIST jinsi Cluster yako inakabiliana na lengo hili. Ikiwa simu yako ina “internet”, unaweza kutembelea moja kwa moja www.tist/mobile. Ingia kama “mgeni” na uweka jina la Kundi lako Ndogo au Cluster yako. “Utakuwa na uwezo wa kuona maelezo Zaidi kuhusu Cluster yako na Kundi lako Ndogo.

TIST na Taylors wanafanya kazi pamoja ili kupanua mazoea bora ya TIST kwa wakulima katika maeneo ya chai ya kukua ya Ngere na Makomboki katika kata ya Muran’ga, Kionyo na Imenti katika kata ya Meru. Ziara za shamba zilifanyika Februari 20-24, 2018.Timu hiyo ilitembelea mashamba katika kila aina ya chai ya KTDA na Mkusanyiko wa Cluster huko Imenti, na inajumuisha baadhi ya wanachama wa Halmashauri ya Uongozi wa TIST Kenya, Ben Henneke wa TIST Marekani, na viongozi kutoka Taylors, NCP na KTDA. Kufuatia Semina ya Watumishi wa Cluster yenye kazi na yenye uzalishaji, washirika wa TIST kutoka kwa Freshfields na Natural Capital Partners (NCP) waliwasili. Freshfields ni kampuni ya sharia inayotokana na Uingereza (UK). Freshfields inasaidia kupanua TIST na kuundwa kwa makundi 21 mapya Afrika Mashariki. Timu ya Freshfields ilijumuisha Gabriel Mpumbani na Alexander Calloway. Natural Capital Partners walikuwa na Oliver Crouch. TIST iliwakilishwa na Ben Henneke (Marekani), Pamela, Joshua na Apollo (Uganda), Eunice, Naomi na wakulima wengine kadhaa (Kenya) Timu ilitembelea vikundi vya TIST huko Machakos, Embu, Karatina, Solio na Meru. Wageni walivutiwa na wakulima wenye shauku na jinsi TIST inawasaidia kupitia mafunzo kwa maendeleo yao wenyewe. Pia walipata fursa ya kukutana na TIST KE na viongozi wa TIST UG huko Gitoro na kushiriki habari na maswali. Wakati huo huo Freshfields ilitembelea,TIST Uganda pia iliingia.Timu inayoongozwa na Pamela, Joshua na Apollo walikuwa na Watumishi 14 wa Cluster kutoka maeneo mapya ya Uganda. 

Madhumuni yao ya kuja ni kupata mafunzo zaidi ili watumie wakulima wa TIST katika maeneo yao ya nyumbani. Kikundi cha nne cha wageni walikuwa wanafunzi kutoka New England College nchini Marekani. Wao walijitokeza tarehe 5 Machi, 2018 kwa ziara ya siku saba iliyomalizika tarehe 13 Machi. Wakiongozwa na profesa wao, Kevin Martin, timu hii ya wanafunzi 13 pamoja na msimamizi mmoja, pamoja na binti na mke wa Brad Neff, walipata fursa ya kuona Cluster TIST na kutembelea mashamba. Kati ya mikutano ya Cluster waliohudhuria ilikuwa Mikinduri, Nkado, Murinya, Subuiga, Mbajone, Maundu, Kiandiu, Mituntu na Murungai. Wakulima wa TIST kupata shilingi ya ziada kwa kila mti wanaopanda mwaka wa 2018 na kuendelea kuishi. TIST Kenya inafurahia kuwa na kupokea wageni kadhaa katika miezi miwili iliyopita – Februari na Machi 2018. KISWAHILI VERSION 3 a) Ni njia gani bora zaidi ya kuwapanga watu wakati wa mkutano wa Kikundi kidogo? Msiwe na meza kwa sababu inajenga vizuizi kati ya watu. Msiwe na kiti cha kukaliwa na mtu aliye na muhimu zaidi kati yenu. Katika TIST, sote twaketi kwa njia iliyofanana. Sote hukaa chini udongoni au sote kukalia viti. b) Mtafanyaje kukiwa na watu zaidi ya kumi na wawili wanaotaka kujiunga na kikundi chenu? Kama kuna zaidi ya watu kumi na wawili wanaotaka kujiunga na kikundi chenu ni vizuri zaidi kuanzisha kikundi kipya. Kikundi chaweza kujigawanya na kuwa vikundi viwili, ama wanakikundi asili watatu au wanne wawe msingi wa kikundi kipya. Hii ni vizuri kuliko mwanakikundi mmoja kujaribu kuanzisha kikundi peke yake. Kumbuka kuanza uongozi wa mzunguko kutoka mwanzo. c) Ni mbinu zipi mwaweza kutumia ikiwa nishati ya kikundi iko chini? Gawanya kikundi kiwe wawili wawili na uulize kila jozi kujadiliana kuhusu kazi iliyopo. Michezo ya kuigiza husaidia pia. Mara kwa mara kuwasimamisha na kila mtu kusema kitu kizuri ambacho kikundi chao kinafanya husaidia kuwapa watu motisha nyingine. Pia kumbuka kuuachisha mkutano usiwe mrefu. Kwa njia ya kuwa na msaidizi wa kiongozi anayesaidia kuweka masaa, unaweza kuelekeza nishati ya kikundi kuhakikisha kazi inafanyika katika muda uliopangiwa. Ratiba ya mkutano. Kutumia muda vizuri, kikundi kidogo chapaswa kuwa na ratiba ya mkutano iliyopangika vizuri. Hii ni muhimu kwa sababu itakusaidia kuzingatia yaliyo katika ajenda na mambo yaliyo muhimu zaidi. Ni muhimu pia kwa sababu katika TIST, tunajitolea kufanya kazi pamoja kwa muda mrefu ili kukua na kudumisha miti yetu katika soko la hewa. Tunahitaji kujua wanakikundi wenzetu vizuri, kwa sababu matendo ya kila mtu hushikilia kikundi chote na TIST yote. Ni muhimu pia, kwa kikundi chako kidogo kuwa na mikutano ya mara kwa mara, ikiwezekana mara moja kila wiki au mara moja kila wiki mbili. Hili litawapa wanakikundi chenu nafasi ya kuimarisha kikundi na kugawana na kujifunza mafunzo mapya. Wakati wa mkutano, ni muhimu kuzingatia mambo yaliyo muhimu. Vikundi vingi vya TIST vimeona utaratibu unaofuata ukiwa mwenendo bora zaidi ili kuwa na mikutano ya kufanikiwa: Hatua ya kwanza. Salamu na kujijulisha kwa wanakikundi wapya ( dakika tano kufika kumi na tano): Hakikisha kila mtu anajisikia nyumbani. Hakikisha ni fupi lakini muache kila mtu ajijulishe. Hatua ya pili.Maombi ya kuanza (Dakika mbili): 

Ombi fupi laweza kusaidia kuunganisha kikundi. Hatua ya tatu. Nyimbo (Dakika tano): Hizi zaweza kuwa zilizoandikwa na kikundi chako, au nyimbo zinazowatia watu nguvu kama nyimbo za kidini. Hatua ya nne. Kuitikiana kuhusu kazi na masaa (Dakika tano): Kiongozi anaeleza yatakayofanyika mkutanoni na wanakikundi waitikie kufanya kazi hiyo. Masaa yatakayotumika kwa kazi hiyo au mjadala yakubalianwe ili msaidizi wa kiongozi aweze kuweka masaa ya mkutano. Hatua ya tano. Kazi ya vikundi (saa moja): Ili kufanya vizuri zaidi, kazi yapaswa kujadilianwa mkutano wa mwisho ukiisha. Kazi zaweza kuwa pamoja na kugawana ni nini kila mtu amefanya ili kusaidia kazi za TIST, kugawana mienendo bora zaidi ya kufanya mambo tofauti, kufunza kuhusu vitu fulani na jambo lingine lolote la maana litakalosaidia kikundi chenu kukua . Hatua ya sita. Kujengana (Dakika tano): Kila mwana kikundi anasema jambo moja nzuri kwa kiongozi wa wiki hiyo kuhusu uongozi wake ulioonekana katika mkutano. Kuongezea, mtu yeyote aweza kusema ni zawadi gani katika uongozi ameona katika kiongozi huyo. Hatua ya saba. Ombi la kufunga (Dakika mbili): Mbinu za vikundi vidogo: Mwingiliano wa kikundi. KISWAHILI VERSION 4 USIFANYE hivi Kukata miti yote FANYA hivi Chagua mti mmoja mmoja. T unajivunia sana kuwa wanaTIST wote wanafuatilia maadili ya TIST na kuishi wakizingatia kandarasi waliyotia saini. Ni wanaTIST wachache waliovunja mkataba huo, wakakata miti yote na kuiuza kutumika vinginevyo. Kwa kweli ni chini ya asilimia moja ya mashamba elfu arobaini katika Kenya imekatwa katika miaka nane ambayo TIST imekuwa Kenya. Madhumuni ya kupunguza miti ni ili miti iliyobaki ikue na dhamani yake ipande inavyofaa. Miti hii iliyokatwa pia hutupa kuni, fito, vifaa vya ujenzi na faida nyinginezo kwa mshiriki wa TIST. Hii ndio sababu tuna sera ya kuanzisha msitu endelevu kwa kuvuna miti isiyopitisha asilimia tano baada ya miti kufikisha miaka kumi. Wakati mwanaTIST mmoja napoamua kukata shamba lote, wanadhuru wanaTIST wote katika kikundi chao, katika cluster yao na katika Kenya yote. Kwa kweli, matendo ya wachache hao yaweza kuletea shida kila mmoja. Tunatarajia wanakikundi wengine na wanacluster kuwa makini na kuhakikisha kuwa hakuna anayekata miti kabla ya wanapopaswa. Kikundi cha OLC kitafanya kazi na baadhi ya washiriki waliofanya kosa na kukata miti kufanya mpango wa hao watu kurudisha sehemu ya faida yao katika mradi wa TIST ili waweze kusaidi wakulima wengine badala ya kuwaumiza. Tulipotia saini mkataba wa makubaliano wa GhG, tuliahidi kutunza miti tunayopanda katika TIST na kuiacha kukua kwa muda wa miaka thelathini kabla ya kuvuna. Hii ni sababu moja ya kwa nini ni muhimu kufikiria kwa makini kuhusu ni miti ya aina gani tunayotaka kukuza katika mashamba yetu. Kupunguza miti na kupogoa kwaweza kusaidi kuweka miti ikiwa yenye afya na kutupa vitu vinavyotumika miti bado ikikua. Kwa ujumla, maana ya kupunguza na kuipogoa miti ni kuboresha afya ya kila mti, pamoja na ya msitu wote. Hili litafanyika kupitia kuichagua miti iliyo bora zaidi katika msitu. Kwa aina nyingi za miti, pamoja na miti ya mbao, grevilea, mikaratusi na cypress, miti hii san asana huwa miti mikubwa zaidi, kila mti ukiwa na shina moja lililonyooka. Miti yaweza kuwa na mahitaji mbalimbali ya nafasi kulingana na aina, mahali, ilivyopandwa (miti iliyo mashambani ya mimea ya vyakula ama miti iliyopandwa ili kupunguiza upepo) na tabia nchi, lakini kuna kanuni zingine za kijumla hutumika. Kukuza miti iliyo na nguvu na afya, nafasi ya mita mbili hupendekezwa. Nafasi hii ni sawa kwa miti mingi ya TIST (grevillea na cypress), lakini kumbuka kuwa miti mingine huitaji nafasi zaidi (miembe na mikandamia, kwa mfano). Kuipa miti nafasi inayofaa huisaidia kupata maji na virutubisho tosha vya kuikuza hadi panapowezekana. Nafasi ndogo zaidi inaruhusiwa miti ilipo michanga. Miti inapokua, miti mingine itakuwa mikubwa kuliko majirani. Hii ndiyo miti wapaswa kuacha. Kuchhagua ni miti gani ya kukata, angalia miti iliyo bora zaidi na ujue kama ina nafasi ifaayo. Kama haina, wafaa kutoa miti mingine iliyo karibu. Unapofanya uhamuzi wa kupunguza miti, kumbuka kuwa kiwango cha ukuaji hutofautiana kulingana na aina ya mti. Kama mwembe unakua karibu na mikaratusi mingi, mwembe unaweza kuwa mdogo na unaokua pole pole zaidi ya mikaratusi inayokua haraka, lakini kwa uhakika haupaswi kukatwa kwa sababu ni mdogo zaidi! Kwa kweli, mti kama mwembe ni wenye umuhimu mkubwa kwa sabubu ya matumizi yake katika kupeana matunda ya kula nay a kuuza. Mazoezi bora unapopunguza miti 

• Iruhusu miti kukua hadi ukomavu. 

• Punguza hadi inavyofaa (nambari ya miti katika ekari). Katika TIST, twaweza kuchagua hadi asilimia tano ya miti yetu, baada ya miaka kumi, kupunguza kupitia kuchagua inavyokua na kutuletea pesa.

 • Kata miti inayokufa, iliyo na magonjwa, inayooza na isiyo na ubora. 

• Linda miti kutokana na uharibifu kutakana na ukataji wa magogo.

 • Tumia njia za ukataji magogo zenye athari chache inapowezekana. 

• Himiza wingi wa aina za miti.

 • Fuatilia msitu wako ili kujua kukizuka wadudu na magonjwa.

 • Shirikiana na kampuni za serikali katika kudhibiti kuzuka kwa wadudu na magonjwa. 

• Zuia mioto ya msitu. Kupunguza miti yako ili ikue vizuri, jiepushe na kukata miti yote. KISWAHILI VERSION 5 Kutayarisha miche ili kuihamisha (Kuitayarisha kuishi katika hali ngumu) Sasa kwa kuwa mvua imefika, miche inahitaji kupandwa. Ni muhimu mwezi huu kuhakikisha kuwa miche iko tayari kuhamishwa kutoka kitaluni na kupandwa shambani. Miche kwanza inahitaji kutayarisawha kwa hali ngumu iliyo shambani. Kama miche imekuwa ikichungwa vyema kitaluni, inaweza kuwa ikipata maji zaidi ya ambayo itapata ikishapandwa shambani. 

Kidogo kidogo, ipunguzie maji unayoipa na uifungulie jua lote kuhakikisha itaweza kuhimili uhamisho huu inavyofaa. Sifa za miche mizuri Kama mwelekezo wa kijumla (ukikumbuka namna mbalimbali huwa na sifa mbalimbali) miche mizuri ya kupanda huwa na sifa zifuatazo: 

• Shina linapotokeza lafaa liwe na urefu wa mizizi au mfuko mara mbili. 

• Shina lafaa kuwa lenye nguvu na gumu.

 • Miche inapaswa kuwa na mizizi myembamba mingi pamoja na mizizi mikubwa. 

• Miche mingi itakuwa na sifa hizi baada ya miezi miwili ikishaota. Kuhamisha 

• Beba miche ikiwa imesimama inavyofaa

 • Pima duara lenye upana wa sentimeta thelathini shambani 

• Toa mchanga wa juu na huuweke kwa pango 

• Toa safu la pili la mchanga hadi sentimeta thelathini na uweke kwa pango lingine. 

• Safu la nyasi sentimeta tano ( nyasi kavu msimu wa mvua, nyasi mbichi msimu wa ukavu). Vikundi vingine huongeza mbolea pia.

 • Toa mche mfukoni. Usivunje mchanga uliozunguka mizizi. 

• Weka mche shimoni 

• Rudisha mchanga wa juu kwanza, halafu safu la pili la mchanga. 

• Vikundi vingine havijazi shimo hadi pomoni, ilhali huacha pengo lasentimeta chache. Hili husaidia kuingiza maji ya mvua shimoni na mchangani. Hili sana sana husaidia maeneo makavu. 

• Mchanga ambao hubaki unaweza kuwekwa kwa pango kwa upande wa chini wa mche. Tendo hili husaidiakushika maji yoyote ya mvua na kuyarudisha shimoni.

 • Chotea mche maji. Kumbuka pia kuwa ili kuupa mche wako nafasi nzuri ya kuishi inafaa huipande ikitengana meta tatu kwenda nne . Ukiipanda karibu kuliko hivyo, miche yako haitapata maji na madini ya mchanga yote inayoitaji kwa sababu ya ushindani mwingi. Itakosa nguvu na yaweza kufa, kwa hivyo fuata mwenendo mwema zaidi wa kutenganisha kwa meta mbili na nusu kwenda tatu. Mvua imefika - Wakati wa kupanda miti mingine mingi. KISWAHILI VERSION 6 Miti ni muhimu sana kwa sababu za kimazingira na kibidhaa: A. Kuboresha mazingira: § Miti hufunika mchanga, tendo ambalo hulinda mchanga kutokana na mmomonyoko unaosababishwa na upepo na maji. § Majani na matawi huanguka ardhini na kuoongeza madini mchangani. § Miti huongeza unyevu mchangani kwa kuufunika mchanga na kupunguza evaporation. § Mizizi ya miti husaidia kuushika mchanga na hivyo basi kupunguza mmomonyoko. § Mizizi husaidia maji kuingia mchangani na hivyo basi kuboresha mzunguko wa maji yaliyo chini ya ardhi. § Miti huboresha hali ya anga ya ilipopandwa kwa kuongeza unyevu hewani (kuoneza ubaridi) § Miti huboresha uzuri wa hewa kwa kunyonya hewa chafu n na kupumua hewa safi. § Miti hutupa kivuli na pa kujifunika. B. Thamani ya kibidhaa na kilishe: § Bidhaa za kujenga (vyombo vya kutumia ndani ya nyuma, gogo, kamba na kadhalika) § Kuni au makaa § Dawa § Lishe ya watu na ng’ombe Faida hizi ni zenye thamani sana kwa mkulima na kwa dunia yote. Utafiti wa hivi juzi wa wakulima wa TIST katika Kenya ulionyesha kuwa thamani ya matunda, lishe ya ng’ombe na kuni kutoka kwa miti waliyopanda wakiwa TIST na mavuno bora kutokana na Ukulima Bora ilifika elfu thelathini na saba kwa kila mkulima. Ni ngumu kupima thamani ya faida za mchanga baridi na wenye unyevu zaidi na faida zingine za kazi tunayofanya katika TIST, lakini tunaiona thamani hii mashambani mwetu kila siku. 

Kupendakeza upandaji wa miti hivyo basi, ni muhimu sana kwa jamaa. Fikiria ambayo twaweza kufanya kukipanda zaidi tukiwa pamoja! Umuhimu wa miti. Katika majira ya mvua, maambukizi ya ma laria huwa kawaida. Mbu, ambao hueneza vimelea vya ugonjwa huu, huzaliana kwa haraka. Ni muhimu kutunza nyumba zenu ili kupunguza uwepo wa mbu. Hizi hatua zaweza kusaidia: 

• Wazisha kiwanja chako kutokana na vichaka na nyasi zozote zisizohitajika 

• Toa maji yoyote yaliyotuama karibu na kiwanja chako. Maji yaliyotuama huwapa mbu pahali pa kuzaliana Kudhibiti mbu. 

• Tupa chakula chochote kilichoashwa usiku mzima 

• Weka taka nje ya nyumba katika chombo kilichofunikwa au katika shimo la taka 

• Fagia nyumba na kiwanja chako kila siku .Kumbuka kutumia vyandarua vya mbu kila iwezekanapo Published by TIST-Kenya.

Ni andu anini ala matulile wiw’ano uu na meenga miti yoo yonthe na mamita kutumiwa nziani ingi.. kwa w’o ni anini kwi kilio kya 1% kati wa miti ila ivanditwee nguumoni syi mbee wa 40,000 sya TIST nthini wa Kenya ila syengetwe myakani 8 ila TIST yithiitwe iithukuma vaa Kenya. Kitumi kya kutaanisya miti kila ivinda ni kuvikia kwa miti kwiana vyu vate kuvingiisana na ingi na vaita wa muti ula watiwa kwongeleka. Kutaanisya kuu nikunenganae ngu, miti ya kwaka, na moseo angi ala maumaas mutini muteme kwa ene TIST. Kii nikyo twithiawa na walany’o museo wa kwikalya mititu kwa kuketha iyingiva 5% ya miti ila twinayo kwa mwaka ethiwa yina myaka ikumi kwambata no ti itheo wa myaka isu. Yila memba wa TIST waamua kwenga miti yake , ni uumiasya kakundi kake kala ke nthini wa ngwatanio ya tist nthini wa Kenya. Kwa w’o wiko uu wa andu asu anini nuetae nthina munene kwa kila umwe. Twiikwata tukundi tunini na a member oothe kumanya na kuikiithya vaiumwe unatemanga miti yake itavikiite ivinda ya utemwa. OLC nikuthukuma vamwe na amwe ala meekie makosa ma kutema miti yoo yoonthe na kusisya walany’o ula matonya utumia kuikiithya andu asu nimavanda ingi ukwati woo nthini wa walany’o wa TIST nikana methiwe matonya kutethya aimi vandu va kumaumisy. Yila twee kia saii wiw’ano wa GhG Agreement, twithwaa tweeyumya kwikalya miti yitu ila tuvandite ta ya Tist vandu va myaka 30 mbee wa kumiketha. Kii nikimwe kati wa itumi ila twaile usisya mbee wa kuvanda miti ni miti yiva tukwenda nthini wa miunda yiotu na ikwithiwa itonya kwikala kwa ivinda yiu iteutemwa. 

Kusea na kutaanisya miti ni useo nundu niku nengae miti kwiana nesa na kuitunenge vaita wa utumia usyao wa miti o iendee na kwiana. Kwa vamwe vata wa kusea na kutaanisya miti ni kwailya uima wa muti na mutitu w’onthe. Uu wikawa kwa kusuvia miti ila miseo mutituni kwa kuveta ila itena uima museo na ila itonya kutuma uyu museo uteana nesa. Kwa mithemba mingi ya miti ta mikuvulya, minyoonyoo, misanduku miti ya kuveta ni ila minene ila yina muthamba umwe mulungalu. Miti niyithiawa na mawendi kivathukany’o ya mwanya kwianana na muvai wa muti na niva ivanditwe na ivandiwe ki (ta miti ivandaniw’e na liu kana ya kusiia nzeve), uvinduku wa nzeve onakau mawendi amwe methiawa kwa kila muvai. Kumea yina vinya, na yaile miti kaingi niyendaa utaaniu wa matambya eli kana maingi. Mwanya uyu wa matambya eli kaingi uthukumaa kwa miti ta mikuvulya na misanduku. lilikana ka miti ingi niyendaa mwanya munenange ta miembe na mikandania. kunenga miti mwanya ula waile ninengae miti ivuso ya kukwata kiw’u nesa na unou kuma muthangani na kwiana undu vaile. Kuvanda miti uthungianie vanini nikwitikilikaa kwa miti yi mini indi oundu miti iendee na kwiana imwe niyonekaa yi minene kwi ingi. Miti ino minene kwi isu ingii niyo yaile kuekwa na ila minini iteanite nesa kuvetwa, Sisya miti ila minene na miseo yila uusakua miti ya kutia uendee na utaanisya miti. Ethiwa yothe no miseo sisya uole imwe nikana ivikie utaaniu ula waile na yithiwe itonya kwiana nesa. Yila uusakua miti ya kuveta lilkana, kwina kwa miti kuendanasy na muvai wa muti nundu mithemba imwe niyianaa kwi ingi. Ethiwa ni kiembe kimeete vakuvi na musanduku, kiembe nikyonekaa ta kite kwiana nundu musanduku wianaa mituki, kii ti kitumi kya kuveta kiembe nundu ni kinini anyee. Sisya useo na vaita wa muembe ni mwingi kwi wa musandu nundu muembe no utumike ta liu na no ukunenge mbesa wata matunda maw’o. Mawiko maseo yila uutanisya miti 

• Eka miti ila ya liu yiane nginya ivike 

• Ola miti yianie ila yaile uyiatiia walany’o wa miti ila yaile kwithiwa nthini wa eka umwe. Nthini wa TIST no tusakue nginya 5% ya miti yitu itina wa myaka ikumi,

KIKAMBA VERSION 5 Kuseuvya miti yikivuioni nikanya ithyamiiw’e muundani/kithekani (Kumiumiisya) Nundu yu mbua niyukie, miti ila yikivuioni niyaile uvndwa miundani. Ni useo kuikiithya miti ila yikivuioni yina ivinda yaile ya kuthamiiw’a miundani. Miti ino niyaile kuumiiw’a kwa kumyeteelya kuvanda kuithekani vala iteusuviwa muno ta kivuioni. Ngelekany’o ila yikivuioni nikwataa kiw’u kingi, muunyi kwi yathamiiw’a kithekani. Nikana iumiie niuseo kuola kiw’u kila uungithya na mavinda ala uungithya na kumiveta muunyi nikana wamithamya ndikew’e thina yithiwe itonya kumiisya.
