Employed as a development worker through the FKPW programme, Heike Wiese is promoting the development of the municipal partnership between Moshi District in Tanzania, and Kiel, a regional capital in Germany. A trained agricultural economist specialising in tree care and maintenance, this experienced professional from Kiel is supporting Moshi's department for environmental and forest management. Since 2019 the two municipalities have been building a tree nursery at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, with funding from the Service Agency. The aim is for the tree nursery to serve as a model that will motivate other tree nurseries in the region to share lessons learned, so that tree plantations in the future can be made even more sustainable and achieve even higher quality standards.
