The “Schleswig-Holsteinische Zeitungsverlag” has reported on our biodiverse reforestation of the West African rainforest on an entire “Page Three”. Who will plant their own company forest in Sierra Leone with us? The number of trees for the coming year is limited.

What a night, what an honor! greenlimba was awarded the “Environmental Care & National Climate Award 2025” for our commitment to the reforestation of the West African rainforest at community level! The prize, which is awarded annually by “Shout Climate Change Africa” and the Sierra Leone Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, was presented by

Our “Busch-Baum-Bugsierer” is freshly decorated, also – and above all – with the names of all donors who have helped us with large and large sums of money to purchase the Daimler 814. Many thanks again!

Every year this is the big moment for all of us at greenlimba: our first seedlings leave the tree nursery and move into the open field. Wonderful! This time, the community of Kagbaray led the way.
