Gros Morne Gros Morne, a village at the Northern tip of the Artibonite, has a thriving environmental project.

Joe peaks into the high school yard. One of the long hallways at Kay Jezi Mari. Vetiver grass is a natural barrier against erosion. Chia can be eaten and tastes a lot like spinach. What a view! A natural wall against erosion: elephant grass, vetiver grass and chia. Pat and Joe stand in a forest that was a barren hillside only a few years ago. A retaining wall captures fertile soil during heavy rains. Control channels like these also conserve soil. At the Grepin Center: Soon to be the largest compost in Gros Morne! I planted one of those trees, way at the end... Empty root trainers mean seedlings are being planted! A batch of 50,000 seedlings was recently distributed. Oooooo, mangos! The garden at Grepin feeds the rectory, the high school and the formation center The garden Look at those plantains! The Father Jean Marie Forest on Tet Mon, from the river, it's wate... The erosion of the river widens the bed each year. These wide riverbeds are filled with fertile soil from the mountains above. Along the national highway to Port-de-Paix the erosion is dramatic. Route Nationale to Port-de-Paix I'm glad I wasn't driving! The Jean Marie Vincent Forest from below. The club on the beach. The river is the color of Haiti's fertile soil. These models came running onto the bridge for the photo shoot. Mangos! Flambwayan, a beautiful tree. That's why they call it Gros Morne. Erosion and damage from Tropical Storm Jeanne. Erosion It wouldn't be Haiti if we didn't see a tank along the road.
