Video: Reservation Preservation at Havasupai

The following video documents The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation's groundbreaking program to donate and plant more than a thousand fruit trees for the Havasupai Tribe in Supai, Arizona

To date, FTPF's "Reservation Preservation" program has donated over 1000 fruit trees and shrubs to Havasupai tribal households and created multiple community orchards.

The reservation has no roads leading in and is thus difficult to supply with a consistent source of fresh produce. The village is often referred to as the most remote in the country, requiring that the trees be airlifted down via helicopter.

In conjunction with the Havasupai Tribal Administration, FTPF established 3 community fruit tree orchards which are open to all members of the tribe, and planted the remaining trees in residential backyards to provide a healthy source of improved nutrition for decades to follow.

This project has created the first town in the world where every household has access to at least 5 fruit trees in their backyards.
