Mike Benge, Senior Forestry Advisor (USAID), USDA Forest Service, writes about ORE, www.oreworld.org: The Organization for the Rehabilitation of the Environment (ORE) that is affiliated with ORE-Haiti, does an excellent job working to improve environmental, agricultural and economic conditions in rural Haiti with high-value tree crops, improved seeds, cash crops and marketing programs. ORE was established by Sean Finnigan, a horticulturalist living in Camp Perrin, in the south of Haiti. He saw the potential economic and environmental benefits of grafted fruit trees for Haitian farmers and set out to introduce high-value trees as a permanent feature of the Haitian agricultural system.
