Hello ladies and gentleman, I am looking for someone with forestry expertise to work with me on deforestion in West Nile. I have harvested some seeds of mapple trees, which grow wilde in Canada and USA. It is commonly known as sugar bush in Canada. Some Canadian farmers grow this plant in farms and tape the syrup in early April (Spring) and evaporate the water from the syrup to make mapple syrup and candies (Simple of Canada).
Apart from making syrup, the mapple is also hard wood, it grows straight and tall and thick. It produces very nice timber and also provides nice urban shade. The seeds have light weight, and have wings that causes them to be dispersed naturally. They have a nickname "helicopter". The seeds can germinate anywhere where there is water, dump ground, or even rocks. Wherever one mapple tree grows, it quickly creates a forest around itself. I imagine if we plant the seeds in June/July, may be they will be able to survice the our tough drought from Dec-April. If there is anyone who is interested in working with me on this experiment, please send me you contact address ASAP . I can send the seeds in small padded envelope. Avudria
