Investing in Tropical Trees
We are a group of Canadians dedicated to combining forestry with conservation. The Amazonia Reforestation project started in 2007 with the purchase of La Pedregoza, a 2,650 hectare or 6,546 acre ranch ideal for tree planting in Vichada. To date we have planted well over 1,000,000 tropical trees representing more than 40 species. The cultivations cover 1,200 hectares or 2,965 acres. Adjacent to the plantation areas, we have established and operate a 1,215 hectare or 3,000 acre natural reserve, known as the Reserva Natural La Pedregoza. The natural reserve is registered with Colombia's Parques Nacionales Naturales or national parks system and actively plants native tree species.
