Not-for-profit NGO #2

I could be sealing the deal with yet another not-for-profit group there on La Gonave.  This group is much larger than the La Gonave Haiti Partnership.  Both groups are doing amazing jobs, and the honey bee program at Let's Build Gonave, Haiti could be making a major impact early to mid-next year. I will keep the name of the second NGO a secret for now as we are working out major details, but this seems like a go.  Also I am working on a different program that will help with the deforestation issue.  The honey bees and the deforestation issue go hand in hand.  The bees pollinate flowers which allows them to grow and create new varieties.  This also helps with fruit bearing trees, as the bees will help to pollinate them as well.  Bees are key to these plants and trees survival.  The plants and trees are also very much important to have inorder to keep the bees alive.  This symbiotic relationship is key to life on the island.

Adding native plants and trees back to Gonave

Recently a division of Let's Build Gonave, Haiti has been doing research on native plants and trees that either once existed on Gonvae, or still exists.  The idea is to not only reintroduce species of plants and trees that are in limited supply, but to also bring up the natural level.  Some of the trees and flowering plants will help with soil erosion, ground cover, build tidal flats, etc.  Many of the plants will serve many different purposes.  A key to building the honey industry are trees and plants that offer flowers that attract bees.  In addition a few are known to attract butterflies.  Adding back the vegetation life on Gonave will help with farming and crop raising. Stay tuned as we develop a plan to help build up the vegetation life on Gonave.  Go Gonave!
