in trees only, or as part of this farm
Did you know that hardwood trees
are considered one of the best commodity investments
available today?
You can invest in, and own title to just trees in Costa
Rica. I am affiliated with a ecologically-oriented tree
farm up north who grow trees for timber AND for the
purpose of creating a perpetual forest. Please contact
me if you are interested in this. Below
is an article by one of our advisory board members,
Amy Morgan:
BRINGING PASTURE BACK TO RAINFOREST:
SAVE FOR YOUR FUTURE AS YOU INVEST IN YOUR WORLD
The world is changing, especially its forests. Time
was, if you wanted lumber, you just went and cut down
a tree and made the boards, but now, the trees are disappearing
faster than is easy to comprehend. We all are ending
up poorer because of it. The wildlife is diminishing,
the globe keeps getting warmer, and wood products are
becoming more expensive all the time.
We at Finca Leola S.A. are working at slowing this trend.
We think that the best way to bring back the forest
is to show how valuable it is. We start out by planting
trees of faster-growing species that are very valuable
when harvested. This way, we can quickly pay off the
land that the trees are on - but among these trees,
we are planting a future rainforest. A forest made up
of many different kinds of trees, many very slow growing.
Trees that support wildlife and trees that will still
be around after all of us are gone. These trees will
only be selectively harvested in a way that improves
the rainforest, not destroys it. That way, the rainforest
will be back, but protected and nurtured.
REPLANTING TREES
"To me, this seemed a daunting task. I'd heard
how the rainforests are disappearing and the demand
for trees is increasing, but what could I do about it?
I don't have a lot of extra money to donate for good
causes. Then, I found a way to do reforestation in Costa
Rica and really help our world at the same time as diversifying
my investments".
YOU CAN TOO!
It's simple to own trees.
Plan your future living and help make the future livable.
IT'S ONLY REFORESTATION IF THE END RESULT IS
A FOREST.
Of course, we by ourselves can only do so much - so
we have decided to offer others the opportunity to participate
with us. It isn't everyone who can (or wants to) live
in a rainforest. But as stewards, we can take care of
trees for you. You will help create a perpetual forest,
and for doing that, you will receive a good return on
your money.
How does this work? For every 100 trees we plant and
maintain for you, 350 square meters of pasture will
revert back to rainforest. We're here for the long haul
- we live near our plantations in Costa Rica and care
for your trees like we do our own. Proceeds from your
trees start coming to you quicker than you might think.
A Smart Investment
You can tap into the market pressures that are destroying
the rainforests and actually help bring them back. There
is a strong demand for tropical hardwood, and it keeps
growing. Wouldn't it be great if the very forces that
are threatening the rainforest with extinction were
used to cause it to increase instead of decrease!
Rather than put all of your investment dollars into
stocks and bonds, how about investing some in trees?
At least with trees, you know they're always going up!
You will not only be getting a good return on your money,
but you'll know you're helping bring about the return
of the rainforest.

You may invest in trees via your self-directed IRA or regular funds for as little as $3,850 for 100 trees.
