With wood as the primary source of fuel and building materials for Haitians for hundreds of years, most forests have disappeared and erosion has destroyed much of the land. Even tree stumps are gathered and used for fuel.

For the past fifteen years, the Comite de Bienfaisance de Pignon (CBP) has grown seedlings for reforestation and fruit trees for food. To date over 1,500,000 trees have been distributed to individuals and groups. Trees for reforestation are given at no charge with an agreement that they will not be cut down for 25 years. The Tree Nursery on the CBP farm near Pignon is shown in the photo to the right below.

The Tree Nursery  provides employment for a number of Pignon citizens. One of the greatest areas of need in Pignon and in all of Haiti is for more sources of employment. This is an area where someone with vision, experience and resources can provide employment for residents of Pignon, where there is a strong sense of community and work ethics. Employment opportunities can provide and exciting challenge and numerous rewards for this special person or persons who take the initiative.
Trees are used to make charcoal for cooking. Even stumps are gathered for fuel.
