Appendix 2: Summary of field trip The workshop included a field visit to Yaluma, the first community involved in the Scolel’Te programme. The objectives of the visit were to meet project participants, discuss their experiences and visit some plots under Plan Vivo management. Producers from the community described that before entering into the Scolel’Te programme, they were using their land in such a way that led to deforestation and soil degradation in the area. The need to improve land practices and support provided by the project to do so was the main motivating factor for participating. Plots of land where reforestation systems had been implemented were visited. Participants described that the purpose of the activity was not only to have woodlots for future income from timber, but also to regenerate secondary vegetation and benefit from non-timber forest products (NTFPs) such as medicinal plants (used locally) and fire-wood. Project trees also provide shade for crops including coffee, and protect water-sheds necessary for the growth of new species planted. Project participants present from African forest carbon projects commented on the slow growth rate of trees in contrast to their experience, and the length of time it would take for participants to see a return from timber income. Producers answered that a driving motivation was to pass on benefits to the next generation, and that payments received for carbon services helped them make this long term investment. 26
