Happy Solstice from the La Reserva Forest Foundation
These photos are only one of the gifts that we offer to you all, at the end of the year, holiday time. It always seems that we get some really excellent photos at this time of year. The natural world is in attunement with the natural cycles and this is a time of contraction and dying off. The animals come closer and this orchid the, Flor
de Un Dia is in splendor right now. 
While we humans scurry around looking for material gifts to give each other, lighting up the world with even more of the Earth’s precious resources, and consuming more than at any other time, the rest of the world is finished with their material storing and are resting and rejuvenating for the coming cycle, Spring.
Our greatest gift to you this holiday season is our unending perseverance in making this project a reality, planting over 5000 trees this year in the Arenal Lake area, expanding the awareness of just how easily this work of natural, forest regeneration can take place through our forest tours and presentations, and giving all of our life to this work for the good of our Mother Earth and all life upon her.
The gift you can give us is to be just a little more aware of what you are consuming and try in this coming year to use just a LITTLE less and offset what you do use. By offsetting you will give someone like us the funding to replace what you are consuming, by planting trees in the tropics. Remember we call it “oxygen farming”!
Thank you for your continued support throughout this year. Thank you to the volunteers who have helped us with all of the planting, administration, secretarial work, seed and seedling collecting, technical support, etc. Everything that is done here, is done by you.
We hope that you will all have a very prosperous and happy New Year. Only our best wishes for success and satisfaction go out to you. And so, this next year, 2008…..
LET’S GET PLANTING!!
Even more than 2007
(this would be the greatest gift)
