The Final Countdown!

Today our WeFunder campaign surpassed $800,000 and 350 investors. What has been so inspiring is to see all the comments on the grapevine about why you invested. We are seeing statements like:

"Save the planet and make some money. I like it covering my carbon footprint."

"Upside is huge from an investment standpoint, but it's great to invest in something also good for the planet."

"I like making a difference, helping the planet and making money."

"One of the most beautiful investments I have ever made. Thank you for this."

There are 120 comments, and almost every single one says something similar: we are here to use our investment dollars to do good for the world. Yes!

Meet the Team

We have been so overwhelmed by your response - and we would love to meet you and thank you in person. We will be setting up a webinar for our investors after the close (probably in May) so that you can meet the team, see where your trees are being planted, ask questions and get personally connected to your investment. 

For now, let me simply say THANK YOU. Please keep on sharing with your community. There is still 24 hours left to invest and together we can reach our dream target of $1 million.

Some Pictures!

I love reading your questions and someone asked for more photos. Here are just a few of my favourites from the last year.

Let's start with pictures of our farmer support team. From left to right: Kara takes a rest while tree planting; Nick admires a mature Empress; Roy hugging one of President Carter's Empress trees.


In Costa Rica we inter-crop the trees with coffee. This picture is of a tree on its one year birthday. Amazingly, this tree had been coppiced (cut to the ground) just 6 weeks before this photo was taken. These trees really do grow fast! With me is Mariana, our Costa Rican lead.

Over the last few months we have been harvesting plantations. This rather impressive log came from one of the plantations in South Carolina.

We love our farmers. These amazing men are proudly standing by their three month old trees. We can't wait to introduce you to our new farmers who are planting this spring.


Thank You

Thank you for all your questions, comments, encouragement, sharing and financial support. If you are an investor, I hope to meet you on our webinar in May. 

Now, I'd better go shake my tail feathers because we have 24 hours left to go and more trees to be funded.

Keep on sharing!

Love, Wendy
