Ethiopian Orthodox Church Forests: Opportunities and Challenges for Restoration 

by Dr.Alemayehu Wassie

In the northern highlands of Ethiopia, patchy remnants of old-aged Afromontane forests can be found mainly around the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Churches (EOTC). Forests in other areas have been completely destroyed and converted into farms and grazing lands over centuries.

Hence, when a traveler sees a patch of indigenous old-aged trees in the northern highlands of Ethiopia, he/she can be sure that there is an Orthodox Church in the middle. Many indigenous trees and shrubs, which in some places were destroyed completely over the last century, are still found standing in the compounds of churches. The future existence of the woody flora and vegetation characteristic of dry Afromontane areas in Ethiopia depends on effective conservation and sustainable utilization of these remnant natural forest patches.

Excluding cattle interference is a prerequisite to facilitate regeneration in church forests. Interconnecting these remnant forests by vegetation corridors following natural terrain or stream lines, or reducing the distance between them by creating buffer areas and plantations around them, and developing more patches in the landscapes are possible management activities to sustain these forests and help restoring the surrounding landscape.

“አቤት” ብዬ ፊቴን ወደ እርሷ ሳዞር ፊት ለፊት ወደ ታች እጇን ዘርግታ፡-
“Oh my God, I think that tree is moving!” (ኦ አምላኬ! ያ ዛፍ
ይንቀሳቀሳል) አለች።
“Yaa every tree moves with the wind” (አዎን ማንኛውም ዛፍ በነፋስ
ይነቀሳቀሳል) አልኳት ለማቃለል ብዬ። እንደ እውነቱ ከሆነ እኔም
በከፍተኛ ፍርሀት ውስጥ ነበርኩ።
“No, no I mean it is moving not swinging” (አይደልም አይደልም!
መወዛወዝ ሳይሆን ይንቀሳቀሳል ነው ያልኩህ) አለች ኮስተር ብላ
“What?!” (ምን?!) አልኩ።
“በእርግጥ አይቸዋለሁ! አንድ ጊዜ ወደግራ ሌላ ጊዜ ወደ ቀኝ
ከነሥሩ እንደ ሰው ሲንቀሳቀስ አየሁት” አለች አፏን ከፍታ
በመገረም ።
“ከዚህ አካባቢ በፍጥነት መውጣት አለብን” አልኳት።
“I think so” (እኔም የማስበው እንደዚያ ነው) አለች።
ወዲያው በፍጥነት አዳሙን ሜትሩን እንዲጠቀልል ነገርኩትና
ዕቃዎችን በቦርሳችን እየከተትን ሳለ መልካሙን ብፈልግ አጣሁት።

Secure In My Limitation: Resting In His Wholeness by Hamrawit Tesfa

This book offers deep, transformational truths to guide you in your walk with Christ. Through honest reflections from my own life moments of brokenness, surrender, and grace you will see how God meets us at our lowest and lifts us into His strength.
My prayer is that these pages help you slow down, open your heart, and encounter the God who turns every “not enough” into a testimony of His love.
