The tree nursery is located in the village of Anjahakely and fulfils an essential role in the protection of the nearby lemur habitat.

Trees planted include the endemic Schizolaena viscola species which is a lemur food source, Breanadia salicina and Intsia trees are planted at river sources to protect the waterways while Albizia lebeck is planted to improve the forage for grazing livestock.
Additionally, various palms and Dracaena trees are planted for decoration purposes at and around Black Lemur Camp. The camp, which supports the tree nursery since it was established, employs mostly staff from Anjahakely and nearby villages which in effect supports the livelihoods of the villagers and inspires a culture of preservation which profits the forest's protection rather than its destruction.
A visit to the tree nursery combined with a stay at Black Lemur Camp will help save the critically endangered lemurs as well as improve the living conditions of villagers in the area.
