The network in collaboration with its partner KICORNET has been implementing a one-year program within the Kilifi county. The program is aimed at creating awareness to the young generation about the Kayas (fortified and sacred forests) with special preference given to the primary school children. The children are believed to be influential amongst their peers both at school and home and for sustainability of the knowledge acquired. As such, equipping these children with the traditional knowledge about their communities which would enhance preservation of the diversified cultural knowledge richness and conservation of the forest ecosystems within the community both at present and the future. The project mainly involved visits and excursion to the Kayas -school children alongside their teachers were taken to the Kayas where they met the custodians of the fortified and sacred forests who took them round the different areas of the Kayas and the perceived cultural conservation measures of the sacred forest. It also involved  essays writing and awards for the best essay. This was meant  to foster conservation attitude and skills for the management of the forest ecosystems. However, the RCE greater Pwani has achieved the following; the project has brought on board more stakeholders including the elderly, cultural groups and the youth. The project also ensures preservation of cultural heritages within the local communities right from the children to the elderly.
