Earth Givers, Neutral Gator’s parent organization, is launching a project in Haiti called Trees for Food. This reforestation and edible landscapes project has been in the planning stages for a while, but now we’re ready for take-off!
Jacob and EG board member Suzanne Perritt-Cravey will be journeying down on April 23rd to check out planting sites. One possible site is an orphanage, where the children will be the primary caretakers of the trees. Each child will have a tree of his or her own to care for.
We’re working with Jane Wynne of Wynne Farm Ecological Reserve in Kenscoff. Jane has asked us to bring as many vegetable seeds as possible since they’ve been unable to get any this growing season.
So this is where you come in. We’re asking for donations to purchase organic or non-GMO seeds (heirloom variety) suited to a sub-tropical climate.
Please e-mail Jacob at jacob@neutralgator.org for donation info or other details.
This is only the beginning! We’re also looking to create Trees for Food programs focusing
on sustainable cooking, micro loans for a tree nursery, and environmental education. Thank you in advance for being part of a very auspicious start.
