These bees you see behaving politely for our highly skilled beekeeper are in fact the globally famous Killer Bees! Originally from Africa they were

Here we are going out with our precious cargo of native tree seedlings carefully nurtured by our team in the Pedregoza nursery.

Scientists from Agrosavia, (the scientific, technology and innovation department of the Colombian government ) are visiting Pedregoza's cashew clonal gardens. Agrosavia is doing molecular studies on these plants to determine the exact genetics of the cashew clones.

These solid log posts are being prepared and sealed for expansion and renovation of our tree nurseries by a completely organic and waterproof tar resin produced on site in our biochar facility.

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

With great surprise and delight we have encountered this beautiful animal on a trail cam in La Pedregoza. We have never had sightings or encountered this jaw dropping creature here before.

Even though the tropical rains are beneficial and in fact necessary for the newly planted seedlings to thrive, the heavy rains at La Pedregoza also cause plenty of havoc for all ground transport vehicles bringing most trucks and tractors to a halt.

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

These rare and magnificent trees are very touchy and sensitive to the elements during the first few

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.
