I had occasion to visit with CureZone's
Home Health Environmental Advocate
Liora Leah at her home, and saw some
of the lovely trees that her father Henry
planted.
Liora Leah is growing a rainforest
of enormous Ficus Trees in her backyard.
She is an advocate of saving the rainforests.

HERE is the STORY ABOUT TREE GROWING
that is SAVING RAIN FOREST LAND:
Overview
Since 1991, we have planted more than 1.8 million tropical hardwood trees of more than fifty different beautiful species, highly prized for their beauty and sought after for the very finest furniture, cabinetry, exquisite inlay work, beautiful marquetry, musical instruments, and other uniquely beautiful furnishings.
We will plant and grow for you, your IRA, your children or grandchildren, your church or school, or anyone you wish, the same precious species of tropical hardwoods that we are growing for our own account.

cultured hardwoods grown on our tree farms
You can choose which of our species of precious tropical hardwoods you would like to own, and we do all the rest. We will select, plant, care for and harvest your trees on our tropical hardwood tree farms in Costa Rica for up to 25 years, exactly as we do our own trees, in the same professional manner and with the same experienced personnel.
Our tropical hardwoods are truly beautiful
At each thinning and harvest, you may choose to keep the beautiful hardwood lumber from your trees for your own use, or sell it yourself. Or if you prefer, we will sell your hardwoods for you and send you the proceeds.
Your trees, and the tropical hardwoods they produce are yours to enjoy!

and protecting
2002 - the same area after
planting and regeneration
As you explore and read, perhaps you too will discover the wisdom of growing tropical hardwood trees for later harvest, for profit, and may too wish to have us grow precious tropical hardwood trees for you.
To see more of the process of harvesting tropical hardwoods from our young trees and beautiful furniture and cabinetry crafted from them, go to From Trees to Beautiful Furniture.

sanctuary and abundant life is returning throughout the farms.
