Lawra-project ceased supporting the gardeners in Susu and Tanchara because these groups will get support from an other Finnish organisation in Kiuruvesi. Tree planting In October 1995 Lawra-project ordered material for tree nurseries for 17 groups. The fencing material was distributed to the groups rather late and due to this the establishment of the nurseries was delayed. In October 1996 only a few groups had fenced their nursery but all the rest of the groups were planning to do the fencing after the harvesting. Meanwhile the groups had nursed their seedlings for instance near their homes.
Tree planting is usual in every village, especially by individuals.
Nine groups have planted trees also as a group and many other groups were planning to do that on next season. The most common tree species planted are dawa dawa, shea, teak, mango, Cassia senensia, cashew, neem, acheapple, leucaena, papaw and Albizia lebbeck. The demand for the seedlings exceeded the supply of the Forestry Department. Next season the supply will be greater. Other problems concerned in tree planting are the lack of fencing and tools, the animals and the bush fires that destroy the seedlings as well as the lack of water.
