Receipt #104 to Caribbean Agroforestry Institute

Community Plant Nursery Development Expenses Nonprofit funds were used to support the development and expansion of a community plant nursery that serves as an educational, ecological, and community resource. The nursery increases the organization’s capacity to propagate and distribute food-producing, native, medicinal, and ecologically beneficial plant species for community projects, educational programs, food security initiatives, and habitat restoration efforts. Funding supported the acquisition of plant genetics, site preparation through selective tree removal, and the purchase of steel and mesh materials required to construct durable nursery propagation tables. These infrastructure improvements create a safe, organized, and efficient environment for plant production while increasing long-term nursery capacity. The community nursery provides ongoing public benefit through educational workshops, volunteer opportunities, school programs, plant distribution initiatives, and the cultivation of plant material used in community food forests and agroforestry projects. These expenditures directly support the organization’s charitable and educational mission by expanding community access to plants, agricultural education, and environmental stewardship resources.
