A biodiversity register on the farm is currently underway and Kisima Forestry has completed the plant survey phase documenting the plant species on the farm.
Over 67 plant families were recorded indicating a high plant diversity in the surveyed areas. Some of the plant species recorded could find use in their medicinal and aesthetic values and some of the species noted during the survey were invasive. Charcoal burning for species like Acacia Mearnsii and Acacia Melanoxylon is being carried out to eradicate them. This survey will go a long way in our efforts towards propagating a wide range of species and improving our tree nursery on a commercial basis.
