Los Lolos Forest

The Los Lolos Forest project involved restoring a former pasture of approximately 1,400 square meters in San Vicente, Ciudad Quesada. The area is home to two springs of great importance to local communities: one is part of Ciudad Quesada's water supply system, while the other provides water to the community of El Porvenir.

Planting 700 native trees helps protect these water sources, improves water infiltration and regulation in the soil, and strengthens ecological connectivity between nearby forest fragments, creating more favorable conditions for regional biodiversity.

The initiative received technical support from professionals at the School of Forest Engineering and the School of Agronomy of the Costa Rica Institute of Technology (TEC), who provided guidance throughout the planning, species selection, and restoration establishment stages.

Since the site is located approximately 1,400 meters above sea level, native species adapted to the area's climatic, soil, and ecological conditions were carefully selected to maximize tree survival and ensure a lasting environmental impact.
