Tree planting project with Eden Reforestation

One pack - one tree

We like the idea that for every NussFee product you buy from us, a tree is planted. D’NussFee is therefore now an official partner of the non-profit organization “Be the Change” and thus supports the wonderful project “Trees for Change”.

Through this cooperation, we are able to have a tree planted for every package purchased. This also means that with every purchase you are actively doing something for the world of trees and people, because not only does a reforestation of deforested areas take place, but people receive work and a stable income with which they can feed their families.

“When we understand that our wealth is one-sided and that real prosperity is multidimensional, our attitude to issues of sustainability changes fundamentally. Sustainability then no longer means that we have to do without something, but rather that we are finally allowed to develop a way of life that meets our true needs.” – Vivian Dittmar (Founder Be The Change / Trees for Change)

Eden Project in Kenya

Trees for Change, founded by Viviane Dittmar and Andreas Materne, now manages its own land for reforestation as part of the wonderful and globally active Eden Project. Since 2020, over 629 hectares in Kenya’s Kijabe Forest have been reforested with a native mix. Trees for Change has already planted almost 1.5 million trees there and we are very happy to support the project together with you.

“For millennia, it was normal for us humans to take from the earth without giving anything back to it. The worsening ecological crisis to which our behavior has led is a clear signal that our relationship with the earth must change. It’s time to grow up and realize the impact of our actions. This awareness marks a turning point. It is the moment when a new, mature love can awaken in our hearts. It makes us see the wounds, the traces of destruction and there comes a natural desire to contribute to their healing. With this comes a longing for a new human identity: what would it be like if we as humans were no longer a destructive presence on this planet, but a healing, life-enhancing one?” (Trees for Change)

Healing of the Kijabe Forest

At least another 2.5 million native species will be planted on the two large plots in Kijabe Forest over a 5-year period – including Cape chestnut, cedar, African redwood, olive and pear trees. The degraded secondary forests often suffer from severely eroded soil. Using a proven process called Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR), forests are replanted with a lot of manual labor over a period of years.

This not only helps nature, in that new trees protect the soil in the future and regulate the climate, but the project also creates jobs for the often poor population. This reduces migration to big cities, brings life back to often barren areas. More than 3500 villagers have already been given a meaningful and decent job through the Eden Project.
