Armando Hernandez

Armando Hernandez is the salt of the earth. As founder and director of our partner Árboles y Agua para el Pueblo (AAP), he has been humbly implementing projects with TWP since 2001. One of our favorite places on the planet is AAP’s tree nursery in El Porvenir, El Salvador, where we’ve grown hundreds of thousands of diverse seedlings over the years that today are providing habitat, food, shade, firewood, soil, and lumber to communities throughout the country. Knowing that a partnership between TWP and AAP has resulted in thousands upon thousands of trees that are more than two decades old is gratifying to say the least - especially when considering the human and ecological services that these trees help provide.
