This is a series of pictures showing the process when we plant fruit trees at La Pedregoza. Fruit trees provide cash flow and also local socio-economic development opportunities in the region.

 Nice to see those greenhouse gas capturers going into the ground. Even better, soon they will provide delicious fruit, shade, and smell and look even more beautiful!
