Description
The Bill Woodley Mount Kenya Trust is a Kenyan based organisation dedicated to helping preserve and
protect Mount Kenya.
The Bill Woodley Mount Kenya Trust was established to help preserve and protect this important heritage.
Named in memory of Bill Woodley, a dedicated conservationist who together with his team
successfully protected the mountain and the surrounding forest for 20 years of the 44 years he served
in National Parks, the Trust hopes to continue this legacy.
The Bill Woodley Mount Kenya Trust works closely with the Kenya Wildlife Service and the Forest Department
to ensure that its projects address the issues of highest priority.
Our mission is: To concentrate preservation efforts at the field level for maximum impact.
- To fence critical forest areas in order to minimise human-wildlife conflict.
- To support existing Government and Law Enforcement agencies and assist them in stemming illegal activities
that threaten Mount Kenya's ecosystem.
- To initiate reafforestation programs and establish nurseries for indigenous trees.
- To develop and implement local education and research programs.
