Shawn McMahon meeting with our client in Nairobi over breakfast.

Shawn visiting a  "shamba" with clients near Meru, Kenya. A shamba is a combination agricultural field, orchard, and garden. The project is associated with planting trees in these shambas to sequester carbon, improve wildlife habitat/water quality/etc., and create a sustainable supply of firewood/animal fodder/food.

Scott Sager conducting field verification. This is another shamba near Meru. Part of the process of validation/verification is to talk with the landowners/farmers about the project - how it's working and how the community views it.

Tea plantations are plentiful.

This is a roadside stand. There are tree seedlings for sale in the foreground.

The area around Meru (3 of the 4 project areas) is "dry" tropical forest, but generally very lush. The other project region is on the opposite (west) side of Mt Kenya, and is more open grasslands with scattered acacia trees.

Site visit with clients.

There are several coffee plantations on the site.

This is another landowner/farmer in her shamba. She intends to sell some of the fruit and nuts produced by the trees planted as part of the project to her neighbors - a valuable source of income.
