The event also attracted significant media coverage, with KTN, KBC, Kameme TV, and other stations highlighting the Expo’s impact. Local-language segments helped carry the message deep into the communities, while digital platforms extended the event’s reach, nationally. On social media, hashtags like #LaikipiaWildlifeandTourismExpo2025 captured the excitement in real time.

The Expo’s success was not only in numbers, though the turnout was strong, with hundreds of attendees flowing through the venue all day, it was in the quality of connections made. Local artisans met potential buyers. Lodges discovered community-led products that align with their sustainability goals. Students engaged researchers on wildlife coexistence technologies.

Looking ahead, LWF and LTA plan to make the Expo an annual fixture, and one that spans multiple days. The goal is to allow even deeper engagement, more storytelling, and expanded participation. We express deep gratitude to all exhibitors, guests, and partners who contributed to the success of this inaugural edition.

During the August holiday, LWF participated in the annual conservation educators’ workshop organized by our partners, the Northern Kenya Conservation Clubs (NKCC). The workshop brought together representatives from Laikipia North Sub-County, Ministry of Education, Conservation Educators from Loisaba Conservancy and The Peregrine Fund and teachers from 21 schools (both primary and secondary) from Laikipia East and North Constituencies. The three-day training aimed at equipping teachers with skills and practical models of integrating conservation education into the curriculum.

Despite the County being an arid and semi-arid region, schools, with the guidance of environmental club teachers, had made milestones in conserving their environment. In their respective schools, teachers briefly explained their successful models and challenges experienced in their schools. However, amidst the challenges, the teachers had built a lasting connection between the students and the environment. Through the establishment of kitchen gardens to beekeeping, the teachers, with the help of conservation educators and well-wishers, had moulded environmentally resilient students. It was time to refresh and assess the progress of their initiatives at schools and evaluate the importance of conservation education at schools.

Through the interactions, teachers and conservation educators were informed about the gaps from different perspectives. From the shared experiences, teachers could borrow ideas from each other to improve their environmental clubs. Key outcomes from the training included the integration of experiential learning as an ideal practical model for conservation education. The teachers highlighted that experiential learning keeps the students motivated and enhances active participation, unlike confined classroom lecturing. The founder of NKCC, Professor Dan Rubenstein, applauded the teachers’ initiatives, emphasizing the connection between the environment and people and wildlife through conservation games such as The Web of Life.

To put experiential learning into practice, teachers visited Ol Pejeta Conservancy. During the trip, various aspects were used to create a deeper understanding such as safari bingo, bird watching and wildlife species identification. From this perspective, teachers identified the importance of wildlife conservation and maintaining a healthy ecosystem. To most of the teachers, these was a great experience and created a sense of ownership towards their continued efforts in spreading the conservation message.

In addition, the teachers were introduced to basic tools that are readily available to support and keep the environmental clubs vibrant at school. James from the Laikipia Wildlife Forum explained about Merlin App, a free bird identification app built for experiential learning such as a bird watching session with students. Faith Achieng’ from The Peregrine Fund highlighted the role of birds of prey in the ecosystem, emphasizing the role of citizen science in Conservation Education.

Further, Loisaba Conservancy presented how art and videography can create a deeper understanding of environmental conservation in schools while building courage in the students through showcasing their talents. Mr. Noordin from the Ministry of Education, Laikipia North Sub-County, commended the role of the Conservation Education outreach program through games and competitions, urging stakeholders to collaborate.

Participants engaged in hands-on activities like collecting waste from the Petrol Station near the Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB), Nanyuki, to Likii Secondary School. The event featured speeches and presentations highlighting the impacts of plastic pollution and the importance of reducing our reliance on single-use plastics. Mazingira recyclers shared their local initiatives and innovations in recycling by making poles using melted plastic. Speeches from Madam Sarah and Madam Leah called on everyone to adopt sustainable practices anchored on the powerful theme “Plastic Pollution Ends with Me.”

This event aimed to raise awareness about the harmful effects of plastic waste. The governor emphasized the importance of individual and community action in tackling plastic pollution.

In a nutshell, LWF joined the community in celebrating the World Environment Day, which resonated deeply with our mission to protect Laikipia’s unique ecosystem. As we move forward, LWF remains committed to reducing plastic waste and ensuring a healthy environment for both wildlife and people in Laikipia.

In conclusion, as we reflect on World Environment Day, let’s remember that the fight against plastic pollution is an ongoing effort. Every small action counts, whether it is from reducing our plastic use to supporting initiatives like those by Mazingira Recyclers and others. Together, we can protect Laikipia’s precious Environment and ensure a cleaner, healthier future for all.

Throughout the attachment period, I was actively involved in conservation education, a core component of LWF’s outreach efforts. This role allowed me to visit several primary schools, where we engaged learners in interactive sessions on environmental awareness through conservation education. We covered essential topics such as wildlife conservation, waste management, and also engaged in tree planting activities. We also visited several school such as  Doldol Boys, in collaboration with Dedan Kimathi Foundation. The curiosity and enthusiasm of the learners we interacted with was incredibly inspiring, affirming that early education plays a powerful role in nurturing responsible and environmentally conscious generations.

I participated in water quality assessment, which helped monitor and evaluate the health of local water sources crucial for drinking, farming and livestock. This taught me how human practices such as poor waste disposal contribute to pollution, impacting not only ecosystems but also community well-being and livelihoods. This experience highlighted the urgent need for improved water governance, community sensitization and practical interventions to protect our shared resource.

Additionally, my involvement in World Environmental Day and the 17th Community Conservation Day connected me to a broader global environmental change movement, reinforcing that local actions contribute to global change. During my attachment, I witnessed conservation challenges including climate pressures and habitat loss, but also the hope and resilience of communities ready to protect their environment with empowerment and support. This experience enhanced my skills in teamwork and environmental education, solidifying my belief that actual change begins at the grassroots level. I am now committed to a career where community empowerment and conservation are integrated, understanding that one cannot thrive without the other.

The event opened with a colorful and reflective Art Walk, where attendees explored classrooms transformed into galleries of student artwork. Each piece vividly portrayed the learners’ understanding of conservation, biodiversity, and sustainability, thereby proving that the voice of the youth is both creative and powerful in advocating for nature.

Following this, the program came alive with performances from various schools. Among the most memorable was a skit on waste management presented by Dol Dol Boys High School, showcasing practical conservation solutions through storytelling and humor. Other presentations included traditional songs, poems, and oral stories, all creatively woven with environmental themes and cultural pride.

A thrilling jeopardy competition between Ewaso Secondary School and Kimanjo Secondary School kept the crowd engaged, as students tackled complex questions across four categories: Habitat, Wildlife, Conservation, and other World Environmental Issues. Their thoughtful answers and clear preparation reflected the growing impact of conservation education across Laikipia schools.

Key partners, including Zeitz Foundation, Mpala Research Centre, Lion Landscapes, Ol Lentille, Loisaba Conservancy and other neighbouring conservancies, were acknowledged for their continued collaboration and support in safeguarding Laikipia’s unique biodiversity.

A total of 21 schools and clubs took part in this year’s Community Conservation Day, making it one of the most inclusive and vibrant to date. These included: – Ewaso Secondary, Kimanjo Secondary, Dol Dol Boys High, Daraja Girls, Ewaso Primary, Naiperere Comprehensive, Ilmojok Secondary, Nkirorit Conservation Club, Lekiji Junior Secondary, Kutuma Mixed Secondary, Nabolo Primary, Kurum Secondary, Ilmotiok Primary, Shilor Naibor Primary School, Ol-Jogi Comprehensive, Ol-Girgir Comprehensive, Reteti Primary, Ilpolei Primary, Sherton Musul Primary, Kimanjo Comprehensive, Nkiloriti Primary.

The event concluded with closing remarks from the chief guest, who extended gratitude to all contributors, partners, and participants for their support and involvement in making the day a success.

The 17th Community Conservation Day at Ewaso Primary was not just a celebration; it was a milestone moment. Through youth-led creativity, institutional recognition, and community partnership, the event reaffirmed Laikipia’s bold commitment to conservation. It proved that by equipping the next generation with knowledge, voice, and vision, we are shaping a future where both people and nature thrive. Indeed, Laikipia is raising “Guardians of Tomorrow.”

One of the most energizing conversations has been the “Taka Ni Pesa” (Waste is Wealth) Youth Café. This platform challenged young minds to reimagine waste not as a problem, but as an opportunity. In the informal settlements where waste management is often neglected, the Youth Café sparked innovative thinking. Ideas flowed: transforming plastic into fencing posts, converting organic waste into biogas, using glass for eco-construction, and turning discarded clothes into fashion seats and other products.

Participants explored how waste can fuel livelihoods, restore dignity, and create green jobs. The message was simple yet powerful: every bottle, wrapper, or banana peel has value. Young people were not just learning about recycling; they were being empowered to lead the green economy. The event lit a fire of possibility: a movement where youth become eco-entrepreneurs, leading sustainable innovations in their communities.

Building on this energy, a second Youth Café focused on the question: “Maji Yetu: Ni Safi ama Ni Chafu?” (Is our water clean or dirty?). This gathering encouraged youth to dive deep into the state of their rivers. They explored how the flow of the river mirrors the choices made upstream, from farming practices to sanitation, from industrial waste to household dumping.

The community shared their experiences, recognizing that while water may appear clean at the source, pollution increases downstream. Through engaging demonstrations and citizen science tools, youth learned how to assess water quality using simple but effective methods, from pH tests to biological monitoring with macroinvertebrates.

The exercise was not just technical. It was emotional. It revealed how closely people’s health and dignity are tied to water. In the informal areas, many have no access to piped water and rely on streams whose quality is rarely questioned. But here, youth took charge collecting data, sharing findings, and beginning to ask: how can we protect what gives us life?

Throughout the project, Likii WRUA scouts continued to monitor river health across seasons. Despite facing challenges such as limited equipment and support, their commitment has never wavered. Their findings, showing clear water during dry spells and spikes in contamination during rains, have helped communities understand the direct link between behavior and river health.

This story is not just about rivers and waste. It is about awakening. It is about giving young people a voice in decisions that shape their environment. It is about shifting from complaint to creativity, from pollution to purpose.

In Laikipia, the river is no longer voiceless. Youth have taken the microphone and their message is clear: Maji Yetu Jukumu letu (Our water our responsibility).

This past quarter, the Laikipia Wildlife Forum (LWF) has been on a mission: not just to teach, but to inspire a generation of conservation champions. The spirit to learn more is unmistakable. From dusty playgrounds to shaded tree groves, from classrooms filled with chalkboards to games played under acacia trees, the message is spreading, conservation is no longer just science, it is a way of life.

At Brookwell Harmony School, the air buzzed with curiosity as LWF educators introduced students to the ‘Adopt a Tree’ initiative. Guided by Project Officer, Brian Otieno, each child was not just given a sapling; they were asked to choose it, name it, and understand it. “The right tree, at the right place, at the right time,” became more than a slogan; it became a personal pledge. Discussions on indigenous, fruit, ornamental, and exotic trees turned into dreams of shaded schoolyards and cleaner air. As hands dug into the earth, trees found their new home, planted lovingly by eager young conservationists, each one a seed of hope.

Meanwhile, the Nexus Dicey game, an innovative tool that blends fun with ecological literacy, brought to life the delicate balance between human choices and ecosystem health. Students giggled, strategized, and gasped as they realized how one bad decision could ripple across entire habitats. The game, led energetically by James Njihia, our Program Assistant, was not just a diversion; it was a revelation.

Nkandone Primary took a different route into nature’s storybook. There, the wonder of wildlife took center stage. Giraffes, monkeys, fish, and lions, some drawn with crayons, others recited from A to Z, filled the classroom as students learned to classify the animal kingdom. The session, tailored to usher in World Giraffe Day, not only boosted their ecological vocabulary but stirred a deep fascination for the creatures they share their home with.

At Daraja Academy, the conversation shifted to something visible yet often ignored…plastic. Partnering with NKCC, LWF’s facilitators opened the eyes of the students to the daily impact of plastic waste, unpacking the “4Rs”: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Refuse. The discussion turned global, touching on the World Environment Day and even the quirky World Monkey Day, painting a vivid picture of interconnectedness. Once again, Nexus Dicey made an appearance, played in teams this time, as students debated and acted out real-world decisions, learning the environmental cost of inaction.

With bold new partnerships in place, LWF is scaling its Conservation Education Program. In collaboration with the Zeitz Foundation, LWF will launch monthly outreach events, art and essay competitions, teacher training sessions, and mentorship programs across eight schools. It’s a fusion of creativity and curriculum, of storytelling and science, aimed at turning ordinary schooldays into unforgettable conservation journeys.

Alongside TonyWild Foundation, the vision expands further, including eco-storytelling, youth-led photo and video campaigns, and on-campus reforestation projects. These efforts are designed not only to inform, but to empower. To give students tools, platforms, and the voice to advocate for the planet in their way.

And through it all, our longtime ally The Laikipian, with the ever-supportive James Ndung’u, continues to bring colour and joy to classrooms through Art 4 Conservation games, reminding us that learning about nature should never be boring; it should be beautiful.

So, as the sun sets behind the hills of Laikipia, we look forward to a new dawn, a future where children do not  just learn about conservation, they live it. Every tree planted, every animal drawn, every plastic bottle reused, these are the quiet beginnings of a louder, greener movement.

As part of this initiative, LWF participated in a Central region workshop held at Sera Park Hotel in Isiolo that brought together educators, conservationists and other stakeholders. This workshop aimed to gather insights and perspectives from various conservation education experts to create a comprehensive curriculum that integrates conservation themes into different subjects. Representatives from Borana Conservancy, Mount Kenya Trust, Born Free Foundation, Meru University, Kirinyaga University, and primary and secondary school teachers were in attendance.

Participants collaboratively developed a draft national conservation education curriculum aligned with the CBC framework during the workshop. They explored themes, sub-themes, modules, and effective teaching methodologies to ensure impactful learning experiences. Key focus areas included:

Ecosystems and Biodiversity Conservation – Understanding Kenya’s ecosystems, biodiversity hotspots, and conservation strategies.

Wildlife Conservation and Management – Addressing threats to wildlife, human-wildlife conflict, and protection measures.

Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability – Exploring adaptation, mitigation, and disaster risk reduction.

The curriculum was designed to include hands-on activities, micro-projects in schools, and real-world applications to deepen students’ engagement.

Additionally, the workshop strengthened stakeholder partnerships, fostering a collaborative approach to conservation education.

The workshop concluded with a draft curriculum that will be refined by integrating inputs from other regional workshops, including Western, Coastal, Rift Valley, Eastern, and Nairobi regions. A team of experts will finalize the curriculum before sharing it with stakeholders for validation and adoption.

Through this initiative, WCK aims to equip the next generation with the knowledge, skills, and passion to protect Kenya’s rich biodiversity and ensure a sustainable future for all.

After evaluation by CIFOR –ICRAF, our nurseries were considered to be among the best for restoration, and they supported us in attending the Restoration Champions Tree Nursery Management Training from March 24 to 26, 2025. Hosted at Breeze Hotel and complemented by practical sessions at the Laikipia County  Kenya Forest Service tree nursery in Nyahururu, the training was expertly facilitated by Sylvia Buleti (QT Seed Technical Manager, ICRAF) and Joshua Musau (QT Seed Africa Technical Consultant for Nurseries).

This training was eye-opening and reinforced the essentials of tree nursery establishment and management. Whether you are a nursery manager, an attendant, or someone planning to start a nursery, here are key takeaways to ensure success in your venture.

Setting Up a Tree Nursery: The Basics

A well-planned nursery starts with determining the appropriate size, which depends on available space, resources, and target production. Site preparation involves selecting a location with good drainage, access to water, and protection from strong winds. Establishing nursery structures such as shade nets, water supply systems, and raised beds is crucial. The nursery layout should include seedbeds for germination and seedling beds for transplanting. Tools like watering cans, pruning shears, and germination trays are indispensable.

Tree Nursery Operations and Practices

A tree nursery calendar is essential for scheduling soil collection, seed sowing, and transplanting activities. Soil preparation requires a balanced mixture of forest soil, compost manure, and sand to enhance aeration and nutrient content. Proper pot filling ensures good root development while pricking out (transferring seedlings from seedbeds to pots), which must be done gently to avoid root damage. Watering, root pruning, and hardening off (gradually exposing seedlings to outdoor conditions) are critical for strong, adaptable plants.

Seed Sourcing, Handling, and Propagation

Quality seeds determine the quality of seedlings. Seed collection should be done from superior, disease-free mother trees, ensuring genetic diversity by collecting from different stands. Standard seed collection methods include natural seed fall, climbing, shaking, and using pole implements. Processing involves sorting, extraction, cleaning, drying, and proper storage. Some seeds require special treatments to break dormancy:

Cold water soaking: Vitex keniensis (48hrs), Acacia xanthophloea (24hrs), Acacia melifera (12hrs), Senna siamea (12hrs)

Hot water soaking: Olea africana (48hrs)

Nicking (breaking hard coats): Red cedar, Podocarpus falcatus, Sesbania sesban

Crushing: Dombea

Vegetative Propagation: Grafting, Layering, and Budding

For those keen on propagating specific tree species, vegetative propagation ensures high-quality, fast-growing plants. Grafting involves joining a scion (a shoot from a superior tree) with a rootstock (a sturdy seedling). The scion should be 10-20cm long, with 2-3 buds, disease-free, and cut just before the rainy season. Proper alignment of the vascular cambium layers is key for successful grafting. Common techniques include:

Wedge grafting: Cutting both scion and rootstock in a wedge shape for secure attachment.

Splice grafting: Making matching diagonal cuts on both parts for a snug fit.

Pest and Disease Management in the Nursery

A healthy nursery requires vigilance against pests and diseases. Common threats include root-knot nematodes, scale insects, and aphids, while fungal infections like damping-off (Rhizoctonia, Fusarium) pose serious risks. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) emphasizes nursery hygiene, proper spacing, and soil sterilization through solarization. Regular monitoring and early intervention prevent significant losses.

As tree nursery managers, we left the training with invaluable knowledge to enhance our operations. Whether nurturing a small backyard nursery or managing a large-scale operation, these insights will help you establish a productive and viable nursery. Let’s continue to grow trees, restore our landscapes, and contribute to a greener future for Laikipia and beyond!

On 22^ndMarch, LWF participated in the All-Age Fun Fair at St. Christopher’s School in Nanyuki. The Fun Fair brought together parents and students to learn through different activities such as Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) activities, sports, and entertainment from games and dances. The exhibition booths attracted parents and students, where different entities, including learning institutions, explained their work. LWF was keen to acquaint parents with conservation issues and their integral role in nurturing their children to be environmentally conscious.

Through the exhibition booth, we explained current environmental challenges to the students and introduced them to mitigation and adaptation measures. To make the discussions more interactive, we used the Nexus Dicey game, a conservation education game that utilizes art tailor-made for children and adults. As the students navigated through the game, we posed questions and helped them internalize natural and anthropogenic activities that have adversely affected our environment.

Additionally, we explained to parents other areas of operation and our various active projects, specifically their role in enhancing sustainable livelihoods. We also learnt from other stakeholders driving environmental conservation while striving for their mission.

While most schools focus on classroom learning of compulsory subjects, integrating conservation education into the studies is paramount for a healthier environment. Children and youths are the future of sustainability in conservation and environmental management, which calls for mentorship from educators in achieving our set goals. Utilizing opportunities such as the All-Age Fun Fair is among the ways we showcase conservation education in simple and interactive models.

LWF acknowledges that children and youths are key stakeholders in the call for conservation and climate action. Students form part of the diverse community that champions sustainable management of natural resources and the call for climate action—our heartfelt gratitude to David Nderitu and St. Christopher’s School for their invitation to this impactful event.
