Our plants are used on restoration projects to restore wild areas by ourselves, government agencies, and other conservation non-profits. They are also distributed to create wildlife gardens at schools, places of worship, HOAs, and home gardens. In 2024, we grew three state-rare and one globally-rare species in partnership with the Fairfax County Park Authority and the DC Department of Energy and Environment. 192262 5916 Tree Bank: The Tree Bank program in the Dominican Republic operates a community tree nursery and associated forest-conservation and tree-planting programs on the Dominican side of a portion of the Dominican Republic - Haiti Border, to slow deforestation and help small-holder farmers increase their incomes. During 2024, about 67 farms participated. Program activities produced and planted about 22,206 orchard, timber, and local-ecotype native tree seedlings; 8 native species were represented, all of them probably in decline in the wild, our forest credit program, in which our local independent partner organization (the asociacion de productores de bosque, los cerezos) extends low-cost credit to small-holder farmers in exchange for pledges.
