Stone Lining: A Simple Solution To Soil Erosion
November 4, 2026FIRE MANAGEMENT
Fire poses a major risk to project success. To safeguard our landscape investments including woodlots, forest reserves, and riparian establishments, the project utilizes a comprehensive fire management strategy consisting of community-based fire volunteers, green fire breaks, and fire belts.
Community-Based Fire Volunteers
In partnership with the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), the project trains and sensitizes volunteer groups on bushfire prevention, early warning systems, firebreak construction and maintenance, controlled burning, fire suppression, and seedling protection. To enhance field operations and safeguard restoration efforts, volunteers are equipped with essential gear, including Wellington boots, T-shirts, flashlights, whistles, and cutlasses.
Green Fire Breaks and Fire Belts
In collaboration with local community members, the project establishes fire belts and green fire breaks around targeted forest reserves and restored sites. By planting fast-growing, fire-resistant tree species such as cassia that retain moisture, these barriers help maintain the ecological integrity of the reserves and the broader landscape.
