Reforestation
Since 1986, MCL has been active in reforestation, and over the years we have planted more than 1.6 million trees in the communities surrounding the Children’s Eternal Rainforest.
The Bosques en Fincas (Forests in Farms”) project in the 1990s worked with local farmers to reforest parts of their farms, including planting trees as windbreaks. The project was instrumental in restoring connectivity between forest patches on the Pacific slope near Monteverde. Today this area is part of the Bellbird Biological Corridor.
We currently maintain a small nursery at Finca Steller (near La Tigra de San Carlos) where we produce about 20 species of native trees, which are donated to community organizations, schools, and aqueducts; sold to local hotels and individuals at a symbolic price; or planted in the Children's Eternal Rainforest.
