Project Hometree, La Tejona, Costa Rica

Papa Loco 300 yr. old Kapok tree

Papa Loco is approximately 300 years old and is a long time resident at La Reserva. He is the "hometree" at La Reserva and a treasured friend.

Project Hometree reforestation area

The red marking shows the area of La Reserva that will be planted with native forest. These are the only remaining areas that cannot regenerate natural forest due to the thickness of the African Star grass that was planted many decades ago, after the land was deforested for cattle farming.

Roberta in the grass

In this photo you can really get an idea of the thickness and height of the invasive grasses. The baby trees can't penetrate this to reach the sunshine. Even if a bird drops a seed here the seedling will die without any sun.

Two-toed Sloth

This is Chichas, the Two-toed sloth that was rescued after being electrocuted on high-power cables last April. He has almost completed his rehabilitation at La Reserva and will be released into the reserve before Christmas.
