Dear Patron,
We are pleased to provide a brief update on the current nursery maintenance activities supporting our ongoing tree planting program in Rulindo District.
Nursery Location
The tree nursery is located in Burega Sector, near Buyoga Sector, Rulindo District, Rwanda.
Coordinates:
Latitude: -1.7102845
Longitude: 30.0274603
Plus Code: 72QG+VXP, Buyoga
Current Nursery Status
Approximately 22,500–23,000 saplings are under active management in the nursery. The saplings remain healthy and continue progressing toward transplant readiness.
Nursery Maintenance Activities Undertaken
To maintain sapling quality and reduce competition, the following activities have been carried out and are ongoing:
Manual weeding of the entire nursery, with weeds removed by the roots
Sorting and spacing of saplings to reduce overcrowding
Removal of weak or diseased plants
Light soil loosening and improvement using organic matter
Adjustment of watering practices to ensure adequate moisture and proper drainage
These actions improve soil conditions, reduce disease risk, and promote uniform sapling growth. No herbicides are being used to protect young plants.
We sincerely appreciate your continued support, which enables effective nursery management and prepares the saplings for successful transplantation.
With sincere gratitude,
Jean Damascene Uwizeyimana
President, RWAYDAVO
