Forests To Fortune; People, Planet, Profit

Anyone can now invest in tropical hardwood trees as green assets. Las Azucenas is an expertly managed reforestation farm comprising 10,000 planted tropical hardwood trees of high economic value. There are three types of prized hardwoods on the farm: mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla King), cedar (Cedrela odorata L.) and ciricote (Cordia dodecandra Dc.). Hardwoods in other parts of the world take 80 to 100 years to reach maturity. In the Petén region of northern Guatemala, well-cared-for hardwoods achieve maturity in an average of 18 years. The combination of ideal soil, humid climate and rainfall provides optimal conditions for trees to grow rapidly and thrive. Las Azucenas also bodes well for its human counterparts, generating 100 seasonal jobs per year for a period of 18 years, and maintaining a permanent core technical team charged with designing and developing the treescape and nurturing and caring for the trees full-time. Having this core technical team onsite is critical, as high-value trees left to grow in the wild would be vulnerable to premature chopping and at risk of fires caused by human activity. We extend a warm invitation to you to become more familiar with the Las Azucenas project and consider becoming an owner of your own prized hardwood tree. The team at Los Santos, led by Las Azucenas owner Javier García Esquivel, has effectively democratized environmental impact reforestation projects by generating a sustainable model that accounts for all project resource requirements and establishes the units required to reach equilibrium while designing it as a viable proposition for a community of investors to consider. Unlike other timber investment projects, which are accessible to only a select few, this one allows individuals to purchase as few hardwoods as they wish or can afford, even just one tree. Anyone can now invest in the cultivation one or more trees from anywhere in the world. Learn more at goodalways.com
