Tree planting alone is not enough.

The future of reforestation lies in:
• The right species
• The right communities
• The right governance
• The right data

Paulownia offers a unique opportunity to combine environmental restoration with economic value, reducing pressure on natural forests while supporting livelihoods.

This is the model we are building.

Every movement needs a home.

Our Karen office serves as a coordination hub for research, partnerships, and program development as we scale climate and forestry initiatives across Kenya.

Strong systems build strong impact.

Climate action starts on the ground.

These Paulownia seedlings represent more than trees. They represent:
• Future restored land
• Long-term carbon capture
• Income opportunities for communities
• Sustainable timber alternatives

At The Paulownia Foundation, we believe impact must be visible, measurable, and scalable.
