Today, using the Treetracker App by Greenstand, our tree tracker visited the lands of the farmers who took trees home last week. He geotagged 1000 freshly planted seedlings. You can see them on our map along with the 10,000 tracked last November.

In The Haiti Tree Project, we don’t just geotag our trees, we use the Greenstand Treetracking System to geotag our payments to farmers as well. After our tree tracker photographs all of a farmer’s trees, the farmer receives a receipt that shows their Grower ID and how many trees they are responsible for.

Then they get fair compensation for their service of keeping those trees watered and protected. It’s a system that creates a great demand for tree planting in the community and will quickly help resolve the problem of deforestation here.
