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!!
