The Nez Perce Indians are planting trees on their reservation and returning the prairie to the forest in Lapwai, Idaho as part of a carbon offset program. If the US adopts the Kyoto Protocol in its attempts to combat global warming, the Nez Perce will have a valuable commodity on their land. A forester with the Nez Perce tribe, Brian Kummet checks growth rings on a tree on tribal land that was aforestated, meaning it was converted from agriculture back to forest. Six-year-old Ponderosa Pines now grow on the sloping ground and the section is in the tribe's carbon offset portfolio. ORG XMIT: anne@annesherwood.com
