HAS Haiti Timber Re-Introduction Project (HTRIP)

Goals & Impact

HTRIP’s overarching goal is to plant 1 MILLION TREES IN HAITI by 2016. HTRIP is already demonstrating that economically valuable tree species can be grown successfully in eroded areas in the Artibonite Valley watershed. Strategic tree planting will increase topsoil recovery and water infiltration, and reduce frequency and severity of flooding.

Additional overall impacts of this project will be:
  • Improved agricultural output
  • Income and food sources for participants
  • Improved environmental services for downstream communities
  • Increased habitat for wildlife species.
This tree was once small enough to hold in this boy's hands...and now it can hold him!
