Bio-diversity

The purpose of the planning grant is to design a project which will begin a reforestation programme for Barbados. The site selected for the demonstration project was denuded over the last 350 years and is very susceptible to soil erosion. The grant will help the Barbados National Trust to hire a consultant/facilitator who will convene a major stakeholders workshop to prepare a discussion paper and a full grant proposal. It is anticipated that once completed the project will begin a movement which will grow into a major national movement that will bring benefits to many communities and the nation as a whole.
