Description

📍 Location: Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria
📐 Land Size: 2 Plots (~1,350 sqm or ~0.33 Acres)
🗂 Land Ownership: Family-owned by a Vercredx Co-Founder
📑 Land Documentation: Available upon request (Deed of Gift, Coordinates)

🌲 Strategic Tree Planting Plan

Total Trees to Be Planted: ~100

Gmelina arborea: 40 trees
Moringa oleifera: 30 trees
Terminalia superba: 30 trees

⚡ Small-scale pilot to showcase dense micro-plot afforestation and medicinal crop integration.

♻️ Estimated Carbon Credit Yield

Tree Species	No. of Trees	Est. Annual Carbon Yield (tCO₂)
Gmelina arborea	40	~6 tCO₂/year
Moringa oleifera	30	~3 tCO₂/year
Terminalia superba	30	~4.5 tCO₂/year
Total	100	~13.5 tCO₂/year

This plot serves as a scalable demonstration for urban and peri-urban afforestation.

🌲 Strategic Tree Planting Plan

Total Trees to Be Planted: ~7,200
(Based on spacing of 3m x 3m, approx. 300 trees per acre x 24 acres)
Species Breakdown:
○ Gmelina arborea: 3,600 trees
○ Tectona grandis (Teak): 2,400 trees
○ Terminalia superba: 1,200 trees

⚡ These species are selected for their high carbon sequestration capacity and
resilience in tropical conditions.

🥬 Agroforestry Integration

Crops: Vegetables (fluted pumpkin, tomatoes, pepper), maize
Harvest Cycles: 2–6 months
Benefits: Promotes food security, teaches urban farming, and supports women-led agriculture
