The project will implement a series of community workshops and a participatory diagnostic field survey of conifers resination activities which are traditional in the communities of Northern Totonicapán. This will lead to learn about sustainable resination practices and the developing of the equipment that is needed to apply this methodology. Training on improved methods for resination and basic forestry skills for native pine forests conservation are part of the project components.
Additionally it will provide with means to recover native trees, species that are being used for resination with non-sustainable methods. The training of stakeholders on sustainable practices of resination and basic equipment for using new methods and strengthening organization?s support to participants are also important parts of the project. This project includes the creation and maintenance of a demonstrative plot of improved techniques on resination.
