All trees are multipurpose.
They bring subsoil nutrients to the surface, provide shade, and slow erosion. Working with trees is an important investment which can be significant to the future of your Community. Developing agroforestry systems, tree nurseries, and fruit and nut tree species is most appropriate for those with a long-term commitment in an area. Learning the valued qualities of the trees already present in and native to your area is a good starting point. Observe closely how various species are propagated, harvested, and protected.
