RTT works with a limited number of farms in Costa Rica in joint ventures sponsored by US donors. Donations to RTT from The HD Foundation provided a grant to the farm, a contribution towards the costs of establishment, and the management of this research project.
Long-term management and profitability for the farmer are the keys to long-term carbon storage in sustainable forests. This project is managed by RTT under a written 25-year agreement between RTT and the farm owners. The forest belongs to the farm while the rights to the CO2 sequestered belong to the Home Depot Foundation through RTT during the agreement.
