Tree
Nursery
Project Cost: $2,000
One way we can
continue to help the community of San Andres economically is by
creating small businesses to create sustainable employment. By
establishing a garden center and tree nursery in the ecological park,
we can utilize many of the resources we currently have in the park,
increase the number of visitors that come to the park, and create
employment for community members.
