Sadhana Forest works with local communities and international volunteers to develop food-bearing forests and sustainably promote food self sufficiency in the coastal towns and villages of Haiti.

An independent assessment of two-year survival rates showed an astonishing 74% survival rate of trees in the town of Anse-à-Pitres and 84% survival rate of trees in the villages around Anse-à-Pitres. So far, 130,000 trees of 20 different species have been planted.

Besides planting and nurturing trees, Sadhana Forest Haiti (SFH), like other Sadhana Forest projects, works on creating water conservation solutions. It constructs bunds from layers of rocks and uses discarded clothing to help slow down water run-off and aid percolation into the underground aquifer.

In addition, SFH holds Permaculture courses and workshops, and is constantly expanding its operations in the Anse-à-Pitres area.

Why plant trees?

Trees are the earth's lungs

producing approximately 20% of the oxygen we breathe. A mature tree can produce enough oxygen for up to four people per day.

Trees absorb CO2

a major contributor to climate change. A single mature tree can absorb around 48 pounds of CO2 annually. For example, a hectare of forest can sequester up to 30 tons of CO2 per year.

Trees provide habitats

for a wide range of species. The Amazon rainforest houses about 10% of the world's known species.

Trees prevent soil erosion

by binding soil together. In regions like the Loess Plateau in China, tree planting initiatives have reduced soil erosion by up to 90%.

Trees regulate water cycle

The Amazon rainforest, for example, releases water vapor through transpiration, which contributes to rainfall patterns across South America.
