Plant 30,000 native trees Costa Rican owned farms

Hello Tree Friends 

We are so excited to show off our fabulous rainforest growing so big, strong and tall at Refuge San Antonio at the top od the watershed in the southern zone of Costa Rica. When we collect the seeds and sprout these baby trees, it is quite an act of faith that they will grow and give us literally everything we need to survive, like clean air, water, food, and biodiversity of pollinators, birds, and wildlife.

Our strong and amazing teams of workers have to be congratulated including the seed collectors, the women preparing compost and tree nursery work and the men preparing the land and actually planting and caring for these miraculous beings. The follow up grass chopping we painstakingly perform makes all the difference. And fair pay for our workers changes the mindsets and accountability to insure these trees actually do grow into a biodiverse rainforest and our protected by people who are accountable for therir survival

And of course, you, our trusty Sponsors are the key to all this magic! These trees are our collective legacy. We are grateful to the moon and committed to keep up with the good work and fundraising that makes it possible. We know there are a lot of issues in thre world demanding our attention and sometimes causing us concern and strife. Feeling good about a real impactful action is a vibe that empowers us to face so much negative and remember that all together, we do have the power to repair and regenerate a healthy destiny forward.

Thank you for being hopeful with us humans who know we can leave a better future by combining our voices, our small humble actions and dedication to treating our neighbors and sentient beings with responsibility, generosity, love and compassion. It really makes the world go around to Give back!! 

Please shre our work with a Friend or family member who needs a hopeful action today to remind them that the world is a beautiful place  and how lucky we are to be alive!

THANK YOU!! 

Our Tree Planting work ultimnately focuses on social empowerment and long term paradigm change from loggers who cut trees down to communities full of people who plant and defend their trees which provide for a long term sustainable livelihood. 

How do we accomplish a real utopian tree planting model? We start with fair pay for all labor from working in the tree nurserie3s to transporting and planting and maintaining the trees for a total of 25 years. The majority of the labor money is invested the first four years. And from there, it is critical that we create and demonstrate the ability to add value to fruit harvests.

Chocolate making workshops are our favorite opportunity to get together and collaborate with cocoa chefs like Julieta and Jay from Mama Cocoa Chocolate. They also donate time and energy to work with small communities to empower them to enter and thrive in the artesanal chocolate industry. From drying to fermentation, to toasting and winnowing, we practice all these foundational aspects to make a really fine bar. We are learniong two new recipes this month and ever look forward to creating more fabulopus chocolate treats for sale in the local community. 

Hey Valentines day is soon. Maybe you want to sponsr a cocoa tree to go with that fancy box of chocolates. After all chocolate grows on trees!!!
