Tim Vaulkhard, an architect, artist, and conservationist, moved to a farmhouse in the Highlands of Kenya in the 1970s. Over time, he purchased several plots of land around the farmhouse and began planting indigenous forest species. Today, his efforts have resulted in a thriving forest with pioneer trees and a diverse array of wildlife, including colobus monkeys and over 100 species of birds. The forest features two small dams fed by freshwater springs, which eventually flow into the Ruaka River. After Tim passed away in early 2019, his family inherited the land and is committed to preserving the forest's natural beauty. They invite guests to experience the forest's ability to promote mental and physical wellbeing through activities such as walking, bird watching, and painting. The family is exploring various initiatives to ensure the forest's long-term protection.
