Clearing Brush

Clearing Brush

Puerto Rico
Hurricane Maria
disaster relief

Immediately after the storm residents formed brigades to clear the road of debris, including fallen trees, vegetation and landslides. Much of this was piled along the sides of the roads. Upon arriving in Puerto Rico four months after the storm, most of the roads were clear, but crews were working to mremove the piles of debris. Unfortunately, much of this precious organic material has been incinerated. Many who are involved in the agroforestry and environmental movement have integrated fallen vegetation into their farming and environmental preservation projects.
