Native Tree Planting Day Takes Place in Colombian Paramos
June 13, 2023
We had our first native tree planting day in the Summer of 2023! Twenty people embarked on a beautiful journey to reconnect with nature and honor the Colombian paramos, our unique alpine tundra ecosystem, that is found only in the Andes mountain range. We are on a mission to build The Germinator, a greenhouse aiming at growing native seeds and accelerating the restoration of the natural reserve’s ecosystem. The quick start session was a day of pleasure, with barefoot yoga in the moss, a delicious picnic by a crystalline river, a hike in the clouds, and the planting of native shoots! Close to $600 was raised. Community germinates hope
