Bare Roots Project

Since 2005, Afghans 4Tomorrow and the First Presbyterian Church of San Anselmo have partnered in the Bare Roots Project, working with Afghan communities to plant over 10,000 fruit trees and 2000 shade trees.  Our next trip is planned for March 28 – April 10, 2012.  It will cost approximately $3500 per person which includes airfare, room and meals. You’ll need a current passport and visa.  Please call the church office if you are interested in joining us.

Afghanistan is a beautiful country that has seen many of its orchards and forests destroyed by the ravages of war. The Bare Roots project is planting thousands of trees in peoples’ homes, orchards, and urban open space. We are a small group of ordinary citizens from the United States working with ordinary people from Afghanistan. We believe that, working together, ordinary people can achieve extraordinary results.

Since 2005, Afghans 4Tomorrow and the First Presbyterian Church of San Anselmo have partnered in the Bare Roots Project. During annual trips to Kabul over the last five years the Bare Roots Project has worked with Afghan communities to plant over 10,000 fruit trees and 2000 shade trees in people’s homes, 3000 pine trees in urban hillsides, and roses at the Woman’s Garden of Kabul.
