Our project focuses on afforestation and reforestation in the Orinoco River basin of Colombia. The goal is to create long-term economic sustainability for the nearby natural reserve, which is dedicated to conserving local flora and fauna. We achieve this by employing natural farming techniques that support both the environment and the surrounding communities.

Rainy season brings much needed water to the sun parched soil but along with the rains also comes some occasionally high winds which can cause damage to infrastructure.

This week a strong wind gust damaged the roof of our wood vinegar area but the damage was thankfully minor overall

It is time to check up on our Andira surinamensis trees, commonly called Pilon. This tree is fast growing and magnificently large in no time with a thick and lush canopy that provides shade and shelter to many animals and birds.

Shade trees are an essential part of forest restoration

We came across these two little frogs enjoying the shade of the Pachira Aquatica tree, known locally as Castaño and internationally as a money tree. It is always inspiring to see animal life moving into the new forests we have planted together and surprises like this while we do

There was a lot of excitement in the air when we received these Ocotea symbarum seeds, known worldwide as Sassafras and is currently in danger of extinction due to illegal logging.

Grassland fires have reached the borders of La Pedregoza and we were well prepared with firebreaks already perfectly in place. Fire is an annual risk for our newly planted forests but as seen here can be mitigated by good firebreaks, vigilance and preparedness.
