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.

We feel massive excitement as we admire some of our very first Caribbean Pine clusters planted some 8 years ago. This survival rate is truly amazing because the soil is not typical for the species, being very rocky, well drained, and acidic the ground normally supports only tufts

Yucca Harvest time at La Pedregoza.

Food security is a big issue for this region as the soil productivity is generally very low.

These are the seeds of the rare and endangered Cachicamo ( Calophylum lucidum). In the wild it is a challenge to find mature, seed producing Cachicamo trees as most have sadly been cut down for harvest of the spectacular wood.

The papayas at La Pedregoza are growing really well. The flavors are very tasty because they are grown with pure natural organic fertilizers made from only cow dung and Biochar.

La Pedregoza is aptly named “the rocky place” as soil quality has always been one of our challenges that varies with each new location and species. Every choice we make for planting new areas has lasting effect on the species and forest that will eventually thrive in place. Some

The forest has to be seen as an organism in it's entirety from the tips of the leaves all the way down into the dirt of the earth. Just like any living body, it needs a huge range of biological activities to succeed. This is why restoration of depleted soil is always the first step
