This is a large piece of land owned by distant relatives of our Nursery Manager Enel. He will take over this land for The Haiti Tree Project and plant a large variety of fruit trees that will be available for community harvesting during times of need.
This land will serve as a demonstration forest for other communities to see how impactful a forest full of food is. Some people see farming as something for the immediate future and tree growing as something too far away. But there are people like Enel too, that given the proper support, will grow trees instead of crops, and as a result, have a long term permanent, year-round supply of food. We believe that having this biodiverse forest will inspire other communities to start planting for the future.
