Hoping to have great news on this project real soon. My time was up to write a progress report and so will have to let you all know the news in a few weeks. Bottom line, there is a transportation company (we will announce the name later) that is planning to finish the funding for the Rio Sol, Across the River project and two other projects to offset their 2013 GHG emissions. They want to “give back” and have asked their clients to pay an extra fee for each ride, raising awareness about the importance of giving back to our Earth.
Want to say a BIG up to all of the generous employees at Hewlett Packard for all the donations to LRFF’s projects on Global Giving. You are making a change by being the change. Thank you so much.
We are hoping to start the nursery next month for Rio Sol, Across the River. We will send out photos and the story next time. Thank you all for your support of this project and remember LRFF still has many other projects available for funding on Global Giving, so come on everybody…
LET’S GET PLANTING!

We are hoping to start the nursery by the end of the year for this amazing project, For The Monkeys. We will send out photos and the story next time.

Since our last progress report we were contacted by a newly formed foundation in the San Francisco, California area interested in helping to fund some of LRFF’s smaller projects.
This new foundation has the most interesting and innovative strategy. They have a bar in which they hold fundraising events. All of the “profits” from each event/party are given to their partner organizations and they have chosen LRFF as a partner. They had chosen our project Educational Reforestation in Fortuna, Costa Rica to fund first, only 500 trees, but we already have a transportation company interested in funding this one (read the most recent progress report there).
So I got to thinking and realized that one of the properties in the Restoring Forests in Guatuso project was only ½ hectare or 500 trees, owned by Angelo Cruz. I proposed this to the Libation Foundation with photos to illustrate the property and they agreed. That means that the Restoring Forests project has 500 trees less to plant and I will be editing the budget and project description to reflect this. Bottom line, less funding needed to get this project implemented.
At our website we offer carbon offsetting for different monthly plans. You can be carbon neutral for life for as little as $5/month. On our carbon offset page you calculate your carbon footprint (emissions from all of your activities) and then offset it by planting trees with LRFF. http://lrff.org/offset-carbon/carbon-neutral-for-life/.
Now is the time for giving back to our Earth, the only way she can survive. “The Earth does not belong to us, we belong to the Earth”. In other words her health is our health and we are the gardeners.
