HAS Haiti Timber Re-Introduction Project (HTRIP)
A Sustainable Plan
In this way, HTRIP will have lasting impacts with reduced inputs over time. Every year HTRIP will establish new demonstration plots in ten communities, targeting areas that are higher in the mountains, until we have 80 participating communities. Our long-term relationships with communities will focus on education and capacity building. We envision that a very high proportion of the trees planted will grow to maturity. The trees will eventually be harvested in a multi-year, sustainable manner that will involve replanting to maintain the viability of the plots.
The Friends of HAS is very pleased with our progress to date. HTRIP is currently working in 20 communities, and recently moved to 10 new communities in the summer of 2008. These communities produced and planted 60,000-100,000 seedlings. We are currently conducting monthly education sessions in 20 communities, to 500 participants.
