" A watershed and tree planting project in an erodable area. Afghanistans watershed have been devastated by years of over harvesting trees and over grazing, leading to increased run off and flooding. Afghanistan has ambitious plans to re - develop their watersheds and irrigation infrastructure, a labor intense and worthy plan.
Orchard training, planting and growth - carried out by the district agriculture staff."
Being raised in Oregon, planting trees on a barren hillside anywhere is a great idea. Planting them in war ravaged Afghanistan is even better. Congrats Dr. Vermeersch!
