Wellkind has been hard at work restocking the trees in our native tree nursery and planting trees out in the mountains in springs of the Lake Atitlan watershed. So far with the support from GlobalGiving we have been able to plant a couple hundred fruit and wood trees by partnering with local farmers in the communities we work with. These trees provide the local indigenous people with long term access to natural resources that support their livelihoods and provide ecological benefits to the region they live in.
We have also been able to create 1 fully functioning food forest for a local family in the community of Pajomel. This family received workshops and guidance from our team as well as all the materials they needed to create a productive food forest on their land. Our team is currently restocking our native tree nursery and we are slowly building our inventory of native trees for the coming season. We are all really excited for the 2025 planting season as we are aiming to have it be the most diverse and impactful reforestation reason we have ever had.
One tree at a time we are restoring the ecology of the region and helping local people protect their natural resources for generations to come.
