Introduction
Boreda woreda is one of the woreda found in Gamo zone and most its topography of the
areas highly exposed to erosion which resulted in natural resource depletion due to various
reason, such as deforestation, over grazing, poor farming system, and depletion of water
resources are the major threatening factors. The impact of devastation of natural resources
affects the life of rural communities because of their heavy reliance on environmental
resources by affecting the productivity of other critical resources, such as crops, livestock,
and forest & water resources. Considering the above burning issues organizing training on
soil and water conservation management is found very crucial.
The purpose of the planned activity is to train participants about the natural degradation
cause and effects observed in the woreda and how to reclaim the degraded natural resources.

To ensure sustainability of seedling production at private owned nursery level, the project
has encouraged and supporting two individual owned nurseries for seedling production
which serve for income source and for plantation. In the year, the project has supported two
individual owned nurseries to produce different tree species. Accordingly, in these two
private owned nurseries 35,390 different tree species (at kolu nursery = 25,140 and at Fello
nursery =10,250 seedlings) were produced in the year 2021. To strength these two private
owned nursery beneficiaries purchasing these produced tree seedling from the owner
beneficiaries are found very important.
Hence, I kindly request your approval to purchase the above mentioned amount of seedlings
that produced in both nurseries to distribute for project needy beneficiaries.
