Zongo Macheri Syntropic Agroforestry
A long-term effort to restore land through diverse tree systems, farmer learning and patient work with fire, soil, water and succession.
Why this work matters
Degraded landscapes cannot be restored through tree counts alone. At Zongo Macheri, we explore how productive agroforestry systems can rebuild ecological function while remaining useful to communities.
Our approach
How the work takes shape.

Project context
Zongo Macheri is separate from the Dream Village campus in Dambai.
Our agroforestry landscape and learning facilities serve different but connected purposes.
We have grown this work across seasons and partnership phases.
Where we are now
Our work keeps moving forward.
We share what is active today, what we have learned and what we are building next.
- We track restoration by season, site and the survival of trees.
- Our work respects community land arrangements and traditional authority.
- Contact us to arrange a field visit or technical exchange.
