<div><strong>30,000 Trees Project Implementation Plan</strong>
</div>
<div>Year 2 – April 2026 to March 2027
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As we step into a new year of the 30,000 Trees Project, we want to share an update from our Cambodian team — the people who are now leading, growing, and shaping this work every day.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thanks to your support, our first year (2025–April 2026) has been a real success. Together, we established our first micro-nursery in Tahen Village, expanded production to thousands of trees, and created a working model that combines tree growing, composting, and food production. Schools, families, and community members have already begun planting, learning, and benefiting from these systems.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, the project is evolving. For 2026–2027, our Cambodian team is taking full ownership of implementation, building on what we’ve learned to create a stronger, more sustainable model focused on community leadership, soil health, and long-term environmental impact.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here’s what the next year looks like:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Stronger Nurseries &amp; Compost Systems (April–May 2026)</strong>
</div>
<div>We are improving our nursery sites and focusing on quality — producing strong, healthy seedlings using organic compost. This includes launching a year-round composting system, with a goal of producing 10 tons annually. Families involved in the project will continue building their skills in nursery management and sustainable growing.
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Tree Distribution &amp; Community Planting (June–September 2026)</strong>
</div>
<div>During the rainy season, we will distribute thousands of trees grown over the past year. These will go to schools, farmers, NGOs, and local communities — through both affordable sales and donations.
</div>
<div>At the same time, we will run community planting events and provide hands-on training in tree care, planting techniques, and soil improvement using compost. 
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Mini Forests &amp; Long-Term Impact (October 2026–March 2027)</strong>
</div>
<div>This year, we will begin creating two “mini forests” using dense, diverse native planting methods. These sites — in schools or community spaces — will act as living classrooms, helping young people and families learn how ecosystems can be restored.
</div>
<div>We will also continue improving our nursery systems to ensure the project can grow sustainably in the years ahead. 
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What We Aim to Achieve This Year</strong>
</div>
<div>• 10,000–13,000 trees grown and distributed
</div>
<div>• 10 tons of compost produced
</div>
<div>• 2 mini forests established
</div>
<div>• Increased community knowledge in tree growing, composting, and organic farming
</div>
<div>This next phase is about more than planting trees — it’s about building knowledge, restoring soil, and empowering communities to identify and collect native tree seeds and care for their land long into the future.
</div>

</div>
<div>Thank you for being part of this journey. Every contribution continues to support local leadership, environmental restoration, and a growing network of people committed to bringing Cambodia’s landscapes back to life.
