District Reforestation

•2008 Project planted 15,000 saplings across 3 Districts ($25,000 US)•2009 project will plant saplings throughout 19 remaining Districts ($ US).•Saplings planted will include fruit, nut, and fiber/wood product species.

•Benefits will include increased food production, possible village income sources, local sources of fuel wood and wood products, and erosion control.•The species chosen are multipurpose species, most with the ability to fulfill multiple roles in the ecosystem, while being of value to the native people. •The readily noticeable value to the local inhabitants will assist in their dedication to the survival and care for these trees.
