Sea Kayak Oban is using its 1% for the planet in 2022 to support the soil reconstruction and tree species restoration of deforested areas in Madagascar.The Acacia Mangium has been chosen because it is particularly good at absorbing and processing nitrogen in exhausted soils. It is quick growing so creates a natural canopy for more delicate native species to begin to thrive under its protection. We hope these will be planted as part of linking corridors to reconnect belts of natural forest allowing birds and insects safe passage between what little habitat there is left to allow the start of regeneration of these species. Also in 2022 we are supporting projects here in Scotland including a native species tree nursery project with our local primary school and sponsoring the replanting of Seagrass species 'Zoster Marina' in Loch Craignish.
