Theme pack
In this month’s theme pack, we share several radio resources on the value of integrating trees into your farmland. This is a Nature-based Solution with benefits to soil fertility, productivity, and local biodiversity. Trees also help to prevent runoff or erosion, and often their produce can be sold for extra income.
This theme pack includes seven scripts and six stories. Use these scripts and stories to produce an episode on the importance of trees for farmers and the local environment, as part of our campaign on Nature-based Solutions. And tell us that you have participated in the campaign by filling out this form: https://forms.gle/J3rNSxChMA9i6d5cA
The campaign runs until March 30, 2025 and we are offering 20 prizes of up to $200 CA. Prizes will be determined by a random draw.
