African queens



Some of the talented women who run a widow's cooperative farm and tree nursery. They told us the streams have dried up and the reasons why they stopped planting eucalyptus trees in exchange for native ones.

That is SUCH a cool study, Katie!! That sounds like amazing work. Maybe someday, the students in different environmental classes will be watching one of your documentaries about this work. What are the native trees like? What sort of adaptations do they have to their climates? Why were Eucalyptus trees seen as more desirable to begin with, and how long ago did that begin//end? Ahh, so many questions... I can hardly wait to hear more about the amazing stuff you're doing! ~Yvea
