Preparing land for this year´s tree planting

In 2010, we are undertaking our biggest tree planting campaign yet.  We are preparing the ground to plant close to 3 hectares (7.5 acres) of trees.  That´s over 2000 trees, twice as much as in previous years!  This year´s focus and Heritage Tree Species include brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa), sangre de grado (Croton lechleri), quillobordon (Aspidosperma sp.), and several others.

Thanks to your support... we´re now within striking distance of protecting an additional 100 acres of rainforest in the Peruvian Amazon. We are very close to reaching the $25,000 we need to conserve this forest forever. Thank you!  http://caminoverde.org/donate

We are also in the process of creating our Peruvian sister organization, El Instituto para la Agroforesteria Camino Verde.  We will have the details soon!
