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 as well as inspires a culture of preservation that profits the forest's protection rather than its destruction.

A visit to the tree nursery combined with a stay at Black Lemur Camp can help save the critically endangered lemurs as well as improve the life of villagers who live in the area.
