Turning Scraps into Sanctuary:

One of the biggest challenges in construction is leftover wood, often destined for landfills. But at Baked Brick, we embrace the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production) by implementing creative solutions.

For the Nairobi National Park fence, we collected high-quality offcut wood from previous projects. This wasn’t just any leftover wood – it was carefully inspected and treated to ensure durability in the harsh African sun. By upcycling this material, we:

  • Reduced Waste: We diverted tons of wood from landfills, minimizing our environmental footprint and promoting a circular economy.
  • Cost-Effective Solution: Using offcuts provided a cost-effective way to build a sturdy fence, maximizing our impact within budget constraints.
  • Unique Aesthetic: The upcycled wood added a rustic charm to the fence, blending seamlessly with the natural park environment.

Building with Security, for Security:

Nairobi National Park is a haven for wildlife, but it also faces challenges. Human-wildlife conflict is a concern, and a secure fence was needed to protect both animals and people. Our team, working diligently under the watchful eyes of park security, ensured the project was completed efficiently and safely.

A Fence with a Heart:

This project wasn’t just about building a barrier; it was about creating a sense of security for the animals and peace of mind for the park rangers. Seeing animals graze freely within the protected boundaries of the park, knowing they are safe from harm, is a truly rewarding experience.

Building a Sustainable Future, Together:

The Nairobi National Park fence project is a testament to the power of innovation and collaboration. By upcycling materials and working alongside park security, we created a solution that benefits both the environment and the incredible wildlife of Kenya.
