Project description
The BFP is a commercial forest plantation project which will use carbon finance through sustainable forest management to provide a sustainable source of timber, a return to its shareholders at a rate reflecting the risk of investing in forestry in East Africa, as well as environmental and social benefits locally. The project achieved FSC certification in April 2011. The project focuses on sustainable timber production; three varie-ties of trees are planted– pine, eucalyptus and maesoposis eminii. Timber is grown for utility poles and sustainable charcoal production.
