𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬’ 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲-𝐫𝐮𝐧 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐍𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 - 𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘁𝘀 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐞𝐝. 💪 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳 Since 2018, Contour Lines has sourced its fruit trees from our allies at Frutas del Mundo. 501,341 fruit trees to date come from their nurseries. Dwight, Jason and the team have been crucial to our work transitioning Guatemalan communities to regenerative agroforestry (15.7k project sites planted across 429 villages.... so far). But this year marks a milestone for Contour Lines: we’ve launched our own community nurseries. So far 4 nurseries run by 4 teams of our local technicians, employing and training 16 members of their own indigenous communities. A total capacity of 45k trees—mostly cacao, as well as citrus, mango and avocado—this initiative helps cut our tree costs as well as transport costs. Most of all this initiative trains our young techs in this useful skill of nursery management and grafting, which, beyond Contour Lines, is a valuable skill and potential for future entrepreneurship. And who has guided us in making these Contour Lines nurseries a success? Frutas del Mundo! Nevermind business competition, Dwight just wants more communities to plant more trees! So his team have been training our techs and guiding these nurseries. Located strategically in the center of Izabal (the Caribbean department of Guatemala), these nurseries strengthen this regenerative transition underway throughout the region. The capacity to produce trees helps build autonomy and self-sufficiency. It helps meet the growing demand for Contour Lines agroforestry projects among indigenous communities. 💪 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳 We seek partners to expand these nurseries (and establish more) into 2025.

A look at our work planting #agroforestry in #Guatemala, let's visit the lands of Nelson and Jesus, and hear in their native tongue (Q'echi maya) about their work, how it both restores lands and improves livlihoods. These are just 2 sites out of the 14.7k planted by Contour Lines since 2019 in 429 villages across Guatemala. 🌳🌳🌳🌳 #regenerativeagriculture #ecosystemrestoration #climateresilience #reforestation #trees 🌳🌳🌳🌳 Thanks to: One Tree Planted, Agroforestry Regeneration Communities, Abundant Earth Foundation, iGiveTrees, Ecosystem Restoration Communities 🌳🌳🌳🌳

𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿. 2020 to 2024. Slash-and-burn to Agroforestry. Site of Don Juanito of La Pintada Village, Livingston, Guatemala. Biodiverse agroforestry system with fruit trees (rambutan, limon, orange, mango), annual crops (pineapple, plaintain and cassava) and legume support trees (gliricida seen here). One of our first sites planted 4 years ago. Now, we've planted 13k of these sites throughout Guatemala. Now Contour Lines supports the next phase of this regenerative transition, the post-harvest processing and marketing of the harvests. Support this initiative of installing drying equipment in communities: https://lnkd.in/ez6m4Mnp Thanks to our supporters: Ecosystem Restoration Communities One Tree Planted Agroforestry Regeneration Communities Abundant Earth Foundation One Earth iGiveTrees World Centric
