Henry Clifton Fairweather (1906-2002) was a land surveyor and town planner in Belize and is known for planting over one hundred thousand mahogany trees. During his career as a surveyor, he was involved in the founding of the Cross Country Cycling Classic race in 1928[1]. In 1933, he was a member of a survey team that helped define the border between Belize and Guatemala[2]. When Belize was looking to move its capital city, he helped select the location for the city of Belmopan[3]. In the 1950s, Philip Goldson established the Department of Housing and Planning and appointed Fairweather as its first director[4]. In that position, he directed the rebuilding of Corozal after it was destroyed in Hurricane Janet in 1955.[4] Fairweather is a founder patron of the Belize Audubon Society in 1969. Around 1982, he developed a passion for planting mahogany trees. He planted over 100,000 of them at his own expense during the next two decades , earning the nickname "Mahogany Man" in the process.[4] References1. ^{{cite web |title=Cross Country Cycle Race History |url=http://www.belizemusicworld.com/Cross-Country-Cycle-Race-History.html |website=Belize Music World |accessdate=30 July 2018}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Fairweather, Henry C.}}2. ^{{cite news |title=Henry Fairweather: dead at 96 |url=http://edition.channel5belize.com/archives/16398 |accessdate=30 July 2018 |publisher=Channel 5 Belize |date=8 Oct 2002}} 3. ^{{cite web |title=The Creoles |url=http://belizeinfocenter.org/peopleculture/the-creoles/ |website=Belize Info Center |accessdate=30 July 2018}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite web |title=Belizean National Heroes |url=http://bnlsis.ict.gov.bz/belizean-national-heroes/ |website=Belize National Library Service and Information System |accessdate=30 July 2018}} 2 : 1906 births|2002 deaths |
