Healing our land, Tree by Tree
Our reforestation and land restoration efforts begin with local seeds, shared knowledge, and a deep understanding of place. From mountaintops to valleys, we’re rebuilding ecosystems—one rooted tree and one resilient farm at a time.
Why we restore the Land
Centuries of extractive farming and deforestation have left Haiti’s soil depleted and ecosystems fragmented. At Grown in Haiti, we don’t just plant trees—we restore balance. Using regenerative techniques, we rebuild healthy, living systems that nourish people, protect water, and bring back biodiversity.
Our Approach
-
Native & Useful Species
We prioritize trees that serve ecological and community needs—from erosion control to food security.
-
Regenerative Agroforestry
Trees and crops are planted in syntropic rows to mimic natural forest layers and improve soil health over time.
-
Community-Led Restoration
Land stewards guide every step—from seed saving to planting—ensuring solutions are local and lasting.
What Regeneration Looks Like
20,000+ Trees Freely Distributed
Each tree planted is a living investment in Haiti’s future. These trees don’t just provide fruit — they create shade, restore soil, attract wildlife, and cool the land. From towering breadfruit to fast-growing support species, every sapling is part of a larger living system.
100+ Farmers Supported
We don’t work for communities — we work with them. These farmers are caretakers of their own land, empowered with knowledge and resources to restore it. With our support, they’re growing food, rebuilding ecosystems, and inspiring their neighbors to do the same.
7 Microclimates Restored
Dry, degraded land has become living, breathing ecosystems. Shade has returned, water holds in the soil longer, and native life is beginning to thrive again. These pockets of restoration offer proof that change is possible — one plot at a time.
Countless Seeds Shared
Every seed is a story, a memory, and a promise. By sharing seeds freely — not selling them — we preserve biodiversity, protect traditional varieties, and plant the idea that food sovereignty starts with access.
75+ Workshops and Trainings
Every seed is a story, a memory, and a promise. By sharing seeds freely — not selling them — we preserve biodiversity, protect traditional varieties, and plant the idea that food sovereignty starts with access.
