Reforestation

Fruit Tree Reforestation Projects – In Rabinal, deforestation and overgrazing is rampant. Encouraging individuals to create their own tree nurseries and plant fruit trees on their land has given new hope to families living in the desert-like landscape. Fruit trees are an important part of a self-sustaining farm. Fruit trees can provide food for families, extra income during an abundant harvest, shade for other crops, and protect water tables. Establishing tree nurseries and learning simple technologies such as grafting can provide extra income to families.
