Watershed + Fencing Update

Below is the watershed we are protecting with the 4 acres of fenced in area.

Although you can’t see it below, as you go up the mountain the land becomes more degraded until it is barren at the top. This fence will protect the watershed and seedlings from grazing animals. We’ll mostly plant a variety of fruit trees in this area.

Below, you can see our team members working hard to build our new fence.

There are two springs now that have fences around them closing in the watershed.

We fenced up the mountain on La Sous Lasikri so that we could reforest a few hundred trees there without having animals eat them or passerbys step on them.

We also fenced in the main spring near LaSikri that serves many villages with piped water. There are large trees around the spring there and some degraded land that is now all fenced in. We intend to plant more shade loving trees there like cacao.

The area in LaSikri is completely deforested from animals grazing and passerbys walking on plants. The area isn't ideal to plant, but it's a priority for reforesting the region. Our hope is to continue fencing in the watershed on the mountains and behind this area.
