About FACRP
The Fondes Amandes Community Reforestation Project is a grassroots environmental initiative based in the Northern Range of Trinidad. Established to combat deforestation and restore degraded forest lands, FACRP brings together community members, conservationists, and volunteers to replant native tree species and rehabilitate critical watershed areas.
Through hands-on action and community education, FACRP has helped restore significant areas of forest while building lasting local environmental stewardship. The project operates from the conviction that communities living alongside ecosystems are best placed to protect them, and that reforestation is inseparable from community empowerment.
WEPTT partners with FACRP on reforestation drives, species habitat work, and community outreach in the Northern Range corridor.
