This mountainside is the watershed above the main water spring of LaSikri. As you can see, it is deforested and animals usually graze here. We've tried planting trees before but unfortunately, goats keep eating the seedlings.

The local community has tried to keep grazing animals away, but they don't have time to dedicate. But we've decided to invest in workers to grow a living fence around the four-acre watershed area.
This mountain will become a pilot forest to demonstrate what all the lands can look like if we keep animals away from tree seedlings.

In the bottom images, you can see our always ready and willing Agronomist, Remy. He went out with Jean Marie, the landowner of the watershed area, to measure and mark where they will put the fencing.

The whole community is very supportive of a natural boundary to protect their watershed and will pitch in to help find the posts that will become the living fence.
