Yesterday I spent the day on Mt. Rosser helping the Ewarton Watershed and Farmers Cooperative Society launch their first Tree Planting and Reforstation Project. It is a two year project with the goal of reforesting 100+ acres on the Ewarton hillsides with fruit trees. This will provide an economic benefit to the recipients of the trees and enhance the water quality of the watershed by lessening soil erosion.
I spent most of the day moving trees from one area to another and clearing bush off of the site. It was such a work out!! I felt really out of shape amoungst all the farms who weren't even breaking a sweat. Well, they were sweating but nothing seemed as hard for them as it was for me.
Sadly my camera was out of juice for the day but there were others taking pictures so I'm gonna steal some and post them on here. Pics of me pretending to have a green thumb. LoL! I gotta run and iron my pants for work... sorry I've been slow on the updates, I'm gonna try to be better I promise. Miss you all!

What a workout! I most definitely believe that you are a green thumb and all you do will forever leave your mark on Jamaica!! Keep up the postings when you get a chance. I love reading them.
Miss you and take care!
love, Jill
And you said you couldn't get a work out in if you didn't run!!! I'll bet there will be lots of opportunities for hard work like that! A lot of people I work with watch your updates too and comment on what you're doing. Keep them coming! Love ya, Mom
