St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix all face steep, erodible terrain and intense storm rainfall. Vetiver is one of the most effective tools available for stabilizing slopes and protecting reefs from sediment runoff.

Shipping to US Virgin Islands

Local context
Sediment runoff is one of the leading stressors on USVI's coral reefs. Vetiver hedges installed on contour can dramatically reduce sediment leaving a site, which is why they're increasingly specified in island development and restoration projects.
