As we close one chapter, we celebrate an incredibly impactful journey.

This , we're celebrating and giving thanks for Enock Ochieng, our Head of Patrols & Monitoring, who, after 10 years of dedicated service, is beginning a new chapter—leaving behind a lasting legacy.

Over the past decade, Enock has been more than a leader—he's been a mentor and an advocate for rangers. As Head of Patrols & Monitoring, he championed ranger welfare, safeguarding and professional growth while leading our patrol teams with integrity and vision.

He also led the transformation of our patrol monitoring systems from paper-based processes to digital data collection, equipping our rangers with the tools, data and intelligence needed to patrol more effectively, make informed decisions and respond faster in the field. Among his many achievements was introducing Mount Kenya Trust's first Non-Commissioned Officers (NCO) structure, creating stronger leadership pathways and career progression for rangers.

Enock's service & contributions reached far beyond ranger operations, he was a gear to the success of 10to4 Mountain Bike Challenge events that so many cyclists have come to know and love.
He was dedicated in mapping race routes & coordinated security operations— creating an experience that was not only memorable, but always safe for every rider annually.

As colleagues and partners gathered to share memories from the years we have worked together, one thing became clear: Enock's legacy extends far beyond the work itself. He earned not only respect, but also his teams' trust. Through his mentorship and commitment to building others, he helped shape a stronger, more disciplined and resilient community ranger team, impact that will be felt for years to come.

Thank you, Enock, for your leadership, friendship and unwavering commitment to sustainably conserving the Mount Kenya ecosystem for people, forests and wildlife. You will always be part of Mount Kenya Trust's story, and while we'll miss you greatly, we know your next chapter will be just as impactful.

From all of us at MKT, we wish you every success in the journey ahead. 💚

Last week we joined the Mountain Conservation Area World Ranger Day celebrations at the ASK Grounds, Nanyuki — a colourful day honouring those who protect Kenya's wildlife, forests, water towers and communities.

We were especially proud to see Sergeant Charles Nyaga and Ranger Pius Mutuma recognised for their resilience, dedication and outstanding service. Congratulations to both — your recognition reflects the commitment shown by all our rangers protecting the Mount Kenya landscape.

Our team showcased our ranger protection and wildlife monitoring work at our exhibition stand, and Corporal Martin Kinyua, our Lead Conservation TOT, led a live demonstration of ranger lifesaving skills — giving visitors a glimpse into the emergency response our rangers rely on in the field.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, watched, and took the time to learn more. It was wonderful celebrating alongside fellow rangers.

As we reflect on this year's theme, "Rangers: Guardians of a Changing Planet," we honour rangers everywhere, remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and reaffirm our support for nature's frontline guardians.

Happy World Rangers Day !

This week, our Conservation Education Team was delighted to participate in the National Conservation Education Training of Trainers Workshop held in Laikipia County at Three Rivers Academy under the theme:

“Driving Change through Education for Sustainable Development: Empowering Teachers as Change Agents for Conservation and Sustainable Development.”

Organized by the State Department for Wildlife in collaboration with Wildlife Clubs of Kenya, the workshop brought together educators and conservation stakeholders to strengthen the integration of wildlife conservation and environmental stewardship within the Competency-Based Education(CBE).

The training engaged 30 teachers, including 15 teachers from Mount Kenya Trust-supported schools, equipping them with practical skills and tools to integrate conservation education into everyday learning. Through interactive sessions, participants developed strategies to nurture environmental stewardship, establish effective school-based action plans, and address critical issues such as human-wildlife coexistence and sustainable natural resource management.

By strengthening Wildlife Clubs in schools, the teachers are better equipped to become champions of conservation, inspiring and influencing hundreds of learners every year. Their role as educators creates a powerful multiplier effect, fostering a generation that is informed, responsible, and committed to protecting our environment.
