Fundación Bosque Vivo es un proyecto de rehabilitación de bosques de altura y educación ambiental en Costa Rica. We are the first high altitude forest rehabilitation project in Costa Rica learn more We are the first reforestation project and rehabilitation of highland forests in Costa Rica. We want to return the highland forests of this country to their natural state, since these are the ones that provide water and life to all of us. Without the highland forests we would not have drinking water because these are what help keep the water in the aquifers. We want to recover the forests, not only reduce our footprint We plant with the purpose of rehabilitating the forests Our 2024 goals We understand the importance of what we do, which is why, together with our strategic allies, we set ambitious goals this year. Trees planted 2691/4000 trees for ecosystem rehabilitation Enviornmental Education Apertura viveros 154/500 boys and girls educated in environmental topics 0/2 viveros forestales construidos Certificates of participation We offer the option of requesting a certificate of participation to all people or companies that support us, either through planting or with donations.

Investigation and development As part of the development of high altitude greenhouses and the lack of practical knowledge about them, it is necessary to experiment and find the best ways to be successful in the processes of germination and seedling development. Substrates Given the diversity of natural substrates in a forest, it is necessary to investigate the chemical, organic, microbiological content, substrate acidity and humidity, in order to be able to emulate them successfully in the greenhouse. Germination The following relevant aspects must be taken into account in the germination process: substrate, daylight hours, light intensity, relative humidity in the environment, germination time and optimal moment for transplanting into the bag. Early development The development is the period that goes from germination until they are ready to leave the nursery, it can be a period between 2-4 months. Developing Outside the nursery, either under artificial shade or under the sun, depending on the seedling variety, it is the time that allows the tree to be ready for transplanting in its final location (rehabilitation zone). It is important to record the actual development times of the trees. Transplant One aspect to be successful in planting trees is the preparation of the place where they are going to be located. For this, it is necessary to know the chemical, organic, microbiological conditions, levels of acidity and humidity of the soil to compensate it either with mountain microorganisms, organic fertilizers or amendments (caldolomite).

What we do Fundación Bosque Vivo is divided into four major projects: volunteering, education, greenhouses, and research and development. Each of these projects is essential for the foundation to function. Volunteering Find out more about where we plant and how you can be part of our volunteering.

We plant our trees and shrubs with the help of volunteers who donate their time to us. We firmly believe that we must work as a team to achieve worthwhile changes. Our goals Our goals Forests Conservation and rehabilitation of forests in Costa Rica Education Generate environmental education programs accessible to all Weather Reduce the impact of global warming Fauna Recover the homes of native species Water Securing water in the rivers and springs of Costa Rica Forests Forest conservation and rehabilitation Goals: 1. Basic development of experience and knowledge about the process of collecting, germinating, developing and planting shrubs and tall trees. 2. By December 2022, create a sufficient critical mass of vegetative material in the nursery to supply the current monthly demand of 3,000 plants between shrubs and trees, which which represents an average inventory of 18,000 between seedlings and ready-to-sow shrub and tree plants. 3. Develop the first satellite nursery on the slopes of the Irazú Volcano where 6,000 seedlings can be transferred to develop and acclimatize in the area where they will later be planted. Education Generate accessible environmental education programs Goals: 1. Create and print our first teaching book for children between first and third grade on topics relevant to the importance of high altitude forests, their rehabilitation and I take care, concluding the activity with the planting of shrubs and trees in the company of their families. 2. Create workshops, courses and conferences for companies, in order to raise awareness about the importance of forests in Costa Rica and their role in the environment. 3. Generate alliances with universities to create knowledge through research and development. Weather Reduce the impact of global warming Goals: 1. Generate alliances with companies to mitigate their CO2, thus generating more sustainable companies. 2. Opt for the blue flag, becoming thus in a model project on environmental issues 3. Work hand in hand with the Decarbonization Plan of the Bicentennial Government to make farms and municipalities carbon neutral Fauna Recover the homes of native species Goals: 1. Rehabilitate the forests of Costa Rica to recover the home of wild animals. 2. Generate awareness about the importance of each animal that inhabits the forest so that people understand the impact they have on the environment and the importance of saving them. Water Securing water in the rivers and springs of Costa Rica Goals: 1. Rehabilitate the highland forests of Costa Rica and the forests near rivers and headwaters with the purpose of caring for and recovering aquifers. 2. Among the education part, explain to the target public how to care for water and the importance of conserving it.

Volunteering We plant our trees and shrubs with the help of volunteers who donate their time and dedication to us. We firmly believe that we must work as a team to achieve worthwhile changes. We are planting trees! We have planted around 650 trees and shrubs in the forest that borders the Braulio Carrillo Séctor Barva National Park.
