It empowers local land stewards with tools to plant trees and capture ecological data.\n\nWe’ve successfully set up a **[1040-square-meter pilot tree garden](https://tinyurl.com/OSISIGARDEN)** in Badagry town, Lagos, to facilitate nursing and planting of tree seedlings in the host community. \n![tree nursing](https://i.ibb.co/GPC6sgX/coconut.jpg) \n\nBy establishing this pilot garden, we've gained valuable insights into several key aspects of the tree nursing business:\n1) Unit Cost Analysis: Understanding the cost of producing tree seedlings is crucial for scaling up tree planting efforts and creating sustainable environmental programs. \n2) Distribution Methods: The pilot has allowed us to test and refine strategies for distributing planting materials and tree seedlings, which can inform future tree planting festivals\n\n**Activities & Approach**\nOSISI is leveraging partnerships with local communities, NGOs and governments. We recently secured the approval from Lagos State Government Education Districts to implement tree-planting festivals in 8 schools in Lagos. past tree-planting festivals include:\n\n*[Tayville Academy Tree-Planting Festival, Akure, Ondo State](https://x.com/mr_doski/status/1869340373497372715)* \n\n*[Mopo Akinlade Community Tree-Planting Festival, Lagos](https://x.com/ReFiLagos01/status/1773343168278183995?s=20)*\n\n*[Omole Grammar School Tree Planting Festival, Ikeja](https://x.com/ReFiLagos01/status/1806721313458843865)*  Check out highlight of this event on [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSgIWhB4TDA) \n\n**Media blog**\n\n*[Unlocking Africa’s Agricultural Real Estate](https://blog.refidao.com/web3-and-regenerative-finance-unlocking-africas-agricultural-potential/)*\n\n**Impact Metrics** \n\n*Promoting carbon removal:* Nursed/planted  over **300 native trees** in rural communities and schools \n\n*Rural economy:* onboarding and empowering **indigenous farmers** to grow tree seedlings.
