Forest Habitat
EXAMPLES OF FOOD FOR WILDLIFE
FROM RTT CARBON-OFFSET FORESTS ON FARMS IN THE TROPICS
Papaya in the 2010 plantings. There are about 5 papayas in each hectare of the new forests. These are of a variety that are not very good tasting for humans, they are for the bird populations. The papayas planted themselves. The photo was taken on July 19th of the 13-month old forest.

- Bamboo poles convert into individual pots for birds to use

- Squash crop tests in a young forest
Corn and squash are crops being tested in the Triumvirate 2010 forest. Experts predict higher food prices, so we are testing the use of the open spaces in young forests for producing food. I told our crew chief, Rainiero, shown here, not to plant any more food crops until we see the effect on the growth of our seedlings. Leaf cutting ants nest which is a natural part of the forest. Massive plantings of forests for managing US CO2 emissions are foreseen in the next decades. The RTT Model of advanced carbon-offset forests involves the conversion of pastures to efficient forests that are profitable for participating farmers. Adding trees and plants that produce food and habitat for wildlife is a logical step in our forest design. The snake was found by our workers in the Las Delicias Farm. Recently, they found 7 of these close to a creek. The snakes go there during a dry spell to find prey that also need water…probably mostly frogs.
