The FKF Tree Nursery, located near Amani Garden and adjacent to the River Café, nurtures nearly 100,000 high-quality native seedlings representing more than 70 species of trees and shrubs indigenous to Karura’s dry upland forest ecosystem.
Species selection and propagation follow a clearly defined ecological and scientific protocol to ensure the right species are grown for the right habitat conditions.
Many seedlings originate from carefully selected wildings sustainably collected within Karura Forest, while thousands more are propagated from seeds sourced from verified parent trees of local origin. This approach helps maintain important adaptive traits suited to Karura’s unique environmental conditions.
FKF’s mission to restore Karura to a fully indigenous ecosystem is well underway, with nearly 65% of the forest already regenerated.
During each rainy season, the nursery supplies a diverse range of seedlings that support the entire forest community: colobus and Sykes’ monkeys, birds, butterflies, browsing antelopes, and the many recovering wildlife populations within the Karura Forest Reserve.
High-quality native seedlings and treelings are available for sale at affordable prices, suitable for planting in the forest or at home.
