Plant N Boom ensures that native trees are planted in Sierra Leone.
In the green landscape of the Netherlands, only 3% of the original trees and shrubs remain. Despite this shocking reality, there are organizations fighting to protect the native green heritage. While the search for native trees in the Netherlands continues, Stichting Plant N Boom is working on a parallel vision, but in Sierra Leone.
Why Sierra Leone?
Sierra Leone is a country suitable for tree planting in terms of both climate and ecology. Stichting Plant n Boom aims to plant the country with fruit trees such as orange, grapefruit, and lime, medicinal trees such as neem, and tree species ideal for furniture and construction.
Native Trees, Global Impact
At a time when native trees are disappearing in the Netherlands and many other parts of the world, Stichting Plant N Boom is planting native trees in Sierra Leone. This strengthens local ecosystems while also supporting global sustainability goals.
Partnership and Female Empowerment
The Plant N Boom Foundation has a fruitful collaboration with KETSO, a local tree nursery in Sierra Leone. Together with Stichting Wilde Ganzen, they have embarked on a path to train women and give them access to agricultural green spaces between the rows of trees. This initiative not only provides economic opportunities but also strengthens the sustainability of agricultural communities. Ultimately, all local people benefit from planting trees in their environment. Employment, education, cooling, and nutrition are important effects of tree planting.
For Companies That Want to Do More
The vision of Stichting Plant N Boom offers companies striving for CO2 compensation and social responsibility a simple opportunity. By investing in this unique project, companies can contribute to a better world while simultaneously working towards their CO2 targets.
Conclusion

The work in Sierra Leone is a reflection of the values and efforts needed worldwide to protect our green heritage.
