Potential natural vegetation maps for western and central Kenya can help select indigenous tree species for certain areas and purposes. The maps were developed from aerial photographs and fieldwork in the 1940s-1960s, classifying vegetation into 17 types based on structure and dominant species. While the maps generally correspond to climate and soil patterns, some boundaries may not accurately reflect current species compositions due to land use changes. The maps can still provide a starting point for agroforestry planning by indicating suitable species assemblages. A current tree diversity survey around Mount Kenya found species compositions generally consistent with the original vegetation types delineated on the maps.
