The story and plan behind Project GoldenThunder, a proposed nationwide tree-growing programme across Kenya’s 47 counties working towards 50 million trees through phased planting and long-term care: consent, the right tree in the right place, nurseries, counting honestly and caring for trees over time.
Proposed chapters
- Wangari Maathai Day. The day, the legacy it honours and why restoration matters in Kenya. Historical facts sourced; no endorsement claimed.
- The GoldenThunder proposal. A proposed nationwide tree-growing programme across Kenya’s 47 counties, working towards 50 million trees through phased planting and long-term care: what the aim means, what it does not claim, and how proposals differ from results.
- Land and consent. Planting with communities and landholders: consent, tenure and approvals.
- The right tree in the right place. Ecological assessment and site-matched native species.
- From seed to seedling. Seed sources, nurseries, quality and propagation lead times.
- Moving seedlings at scale. Dispatch, transport, receipt and the honest count of losses.
- Planting day. Teams, safety, equipment and records that can be checked.
- Long-term care. Named caretakers, watering, protection and survival checks by cohort and horizon over the aftercare period.
- Counting honestly. Produced, delivered, planted and surviving as separate measures; replacements and duplicates.
- Financing with integrity. Pledges, signed agreements, cash received and spending kept separate; restricted funds; cost per surviving tree.
- From demonstration to all 47 counties. The proposed demonstration, the conditions for each phase of expansion, and why county targets follow demonstrated capacity.
- Appendices. Registers, measures, methods and glossary.
