Through online trainings we share with people the methodology, standard operating procedure (SOP) documents, videos, photographs, and case studies related to our forest creation work.

Through the program we focus on building the capacity of our trainees to enable them to do their own research, adapt the methodology according to their region, and create their own forests. The training gives clarity about the philosophy and science behind the methodology.
