We are now officially on our second phase for the Pollinator Grant
I received an email today asking additional questions from the group behind the Pollinator Grant. This would be a $1,000 grant that would be used to beautify the existing Public Plaza, create pollinator gardens, and help with the current deforestation and erosion issues on the island of La Gonave.
This is an opportunity to push this project further than ever. This grant will allow us to go full steam ahead and build up the areas near and around Anse-a-Galets. Anse-a-Galets will be the starting point for most of our projects from the honeybee program, the honeybee highway, to our reforestation efforts.
I will specify in the language we provide to the pollinator grant group that we will purchase Vetiver from Haitian suppliers, which will then be planted by locals. Vetiver is very important as it will establish a strong root system that will go deep into the soil. This will help prevent soil run-off, but also help to prevent areas of heavy flash flooding. Our opportunity is now, and it seems that this wonderful organization is very curious about our project.
Let's Build Haiti and Hurko is keeping the mission of bringing the world to La Gonave. We feel that stressing the urgent needs of the island is key. While this grant will not do everything we want to do, it does address establishing good wind protection and stabilizing the soil. Economically this is a powerful grant as it will help farmers keep soil on their farms, allow for nutrient retention, and build up the plant and animal life on the island. Imagine putting bamboo trees and tall palm trees on the island. Reforestation is very critical as it also impacts other industries such as tourism.
We are extremely excited about our prospects and that we are now currently in the second phase for this Pollinator Grant.
Go Gonave!
