Tree Nursery in T'umiche



Halfway down the hill, we are closing in on the nursery.



Imagine: Flatlanders like me are "pacing" themselves from the altitude (7,500 ft) and slope.

One reason why this nursery is successful lies in the adjacent water source. This is vital during the dry season (normally: November through April).



The other successful strategy manifests in the protection from the wind afforded the seedlings because this nursery is located in the bottom of a ravine. The other reason for survival can be located in the strong community support.
