Our work
The DCCSL operates by unifying farmers locally, and coordinates sustainable initiatives in tree-planting, bulb onion farming and coffee farming as well as ecotourism approaches. We operate in the Daulo District of the Eastern Highlands Province, from our base in Keremu, Ward 1, Upper Asaro.
Our tree-planting initiatives use a mixture of native trees and commercial forestry trees, to build forest cover while providing livelihoods for local communities. The species we plant include Pinus strobus and Eucalyptus deglupta, which is native to the Eastern Highlands. Our bulb onion and coffee farming provide an important income stream, that again reduces the incentive for communities to undertake commercial logging in local forests.
