Green
Fence Project in A Luoi, Vietnam - WLP is
working with
Mr. Phung Tuu Boi and the Assistance
for Natural Conservation and Community Development Center to
plant a fence of Honey Locust trees around the former
A So military base in A Luoi Valley. When the fence is grown
it will keep the local population from being exposed to the
residual dioxin in the soil. The fruit of the Honey
Locust trees, which is valued for it use as a natural
shampoo, will also provide an income to the villagers. The first phase of planting Honey
Locust
seeds took place in December 2007, 20,000 of these seedlings
were
transplanted around the former airbase in January 2009. Additional
funds raised for the project will be used to help improve
the livelihoods of the residents of the village surrounding
the base by helping them to plant fruit trees, bamboo and
rattan that will provide an income for their families,
support the development of composting to enable the farmers
to be less reliant on chemical fertilizers and to construct
a water system for the commune adjacent to the former
military base in A Luoi.
