Forests are the lungs of our planet, providing oxygen, absorbing carbon dioxide, and supporting countless species. But deforestation and habitat destruction have left many ecosystems struggling to recover. At Neotropic Foundation, we believe that reforestation isn’t just about planting trees—it’s about restoring the delicate balance of nature. That’s why our Native Tree Nurseries are at the heart of our conservation efforts, ensuring that we grow the right trees, in the right places, for a truly sustainable future.
Why Native Trees Matter
Not all trees are created equal when it comes to restoration. Native trees are uniquely adapted to their environment, providing food and shelter for local wildlife, improving soil health, and requiring less water and maintenance than non-native species. By planting native trees, we: 🌱 Restore Balance – Preventing invasive species from disrupting ecosystems.
🌱 Support Biodiversity – Providing essential habitats for birds, insects, and other wildlife.
🌱 Enhance Soil and Water Health – Strengthening root systems that prevent erosion and filter water.
🌱 Ensure Long-Term Sustainability – Growing trees that thrive naturally in their environment.
How Neotropic Foundation is Taking Action
Our Native Tree Nurseries play a critical role in restoring forests, wetlands, and urban green spaces across Costa Rica. Through these nurseries, we:
- Grow and Nurture Native Species – Carefully cultivating saplings suited for local landscapes.
- Engage Communities – Educating schools, farmers, and volunteers on the importance of native trees.
- Support Large-Scale Reforestation – Supplying thousands of trees for restoration projects every year.
