Community Reforestation Day

The Toji team united once again with Terraverde construction crew and the rest of the Dos Colinas community to continue our ongoing reforestation efforts.  Today we watched a film on the diverse ecosystems of Costa Rica, and then spent the rest of the day planting a variety of trees on our property and along the street front.  Our reforestation days are a concerted effort that derive a great number of benefits to the land and our people.  We are not only helping to restore the soil and the ecosystem by planting native trees, we are capturing carbon to help offset our visitors’ travel impact.  If you have ever paid to stay at Toji, a portion of your payment is dedicated toward reforestation efforts, both our own local efforts and the reforestation programs of of the Maleku tribe (Toji is the Maleku word for sun).  Within our own community building efforts, the reforestation days also provide education, team-building, new homes for wildlife, and even increase the value of lots for sale (designing further privacy to specific lots).  Our Community Reforestation days are days where the balance between people planet and profit that our community is striving for is front and center!
