Eco Villages & WildLife Reserves
Eco villages are getting extinct in Northern Ghana - working profe...ssionals have no where to move to live in harmony with nature as a reaction to the depersonalization of urban life and the industrialization of agriculture. There are few such eco-villages in the region and the project aims to create and support some villages within the region to become eco villages by planting fruit and nut trees on communal and private land.
The objective of the project is to create diverse edible forests with a minimum of 10 different species planted per site. The trees will provide a secure food source to the villagers whilst creating habitats for birds and small mammals thereby effectively restoring lost biodiversity. The tree species will be selected for their historic presence in the area and their suitability to the local environment. The trees planted as part of this project are essential for the eco-villagers to sustainably live off their land, in harmony with the environment and the people around them.

School Projects
Most schools in Ghana especially are characterized by vast ...lands that are mostly bare. Northern Ghana is said to have some of the poorest communities where children go to school sometimes without food to eat. Though the government has the School Feeding Program ongoing, it can’t be said to be sufficient for this students.
Jowato TalkingTrees is mitigating this situation by forming, training and providing students with three (3) kinds of seedlings.1. Fruits for Food: These are fruit bearing seedlings that would be planted and assigned to 2 or 3 students to care for. In the next 5years, there would be enough fruits for students even if its seasonal.
2. Trees for Beautification: Students would also have the opportunity to beautify their schools in the process learning a trade of landscaping and growing flowers and beautification seedlings as a means of employment after they have finished school.
3. Trees for Shade and Windbreakers: Most of this community schools have been ripped off a number of times and this has affected learning tremendously. Students would also learn by planting wind breakers some of which would serve as shades for outdoor activities. Read more
Cemeteries
Cemeteries in Northern Ghana have some of the barest lands.... Most cemeteries are known from how bare and empty the lands are. Jowato TalkingTrees is changing that narrative by planting both beautification and shady trees. This is to help make our cemeteries beautiful and useful at the same time; thus combating erosion and contributing to the fight against climate change.

The Streets Project
Streets are the most used parts of the land. Everyday, milli...ons of people use the streets; in Ghana and Northern Ghana, the streets are also often bare and empty with few or no trees at all. This is one major cause of high temperatures in major towns in Northern Ghana. Jowato TalkingTrees seeks to make streets green and beautiful by planting beautification plants at the sametime getting lower temperatures in towns.
Jowato also seeks to use this trees to replace metallic and wooden signboards by advertising businesses and sponsors on such trees.
