Torcon, Inc has planted a total of 10 hectares (25 acres) of carbon capturing forest with Reforest The Tropics.  Since 2014, Torcon has planted 2 hectares of forest each year.  In all, Torcon has planted enough forest to sequester 5000 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide within the next 25 years.
2014:  Planted 2 hectares at El Zota Biological Reserve (moved to Haciendas del Reventazon in 2015).
2015:  Two hectares planted at Haciendas del Reventazon, and 2 additional hectares planted at Haciendas del Reventazon (from El Zota). Both of these forests were planted with a mixture of Klinkii (Araucaria hunsteinii), Pilon (Hieronyma alchorneoides), Acacia (Acacia glomerosa) and Deglupta (Eucalyptus deglupta). These forests are performing exceptionally well and have accumulated enough biomass to be measured for the first time in March 2019. Each project has sequestered 49 metric tonnes of CO2 in 3 years. In the early years of a forests’ establishment, this is an incredible rate of carbon capture. As the forest matures, this rate of capture will increase to over 20 metric tonnes CO2e per hectare each year.
2016: Two hectares were planted at CATIE (Centro Agronimico Tropical de Investigacion y Ensenaza). The forest is planted with Klinkii (Araucaria hunsteinii), Carribean Pine (Pinus caribaea), and Deglupta (Eucalyptus deglupta).
2017: Two more hectares planted at CATIE. The forest is planted with Klinkii (Araucaria hunsteinii), Carribean Pine (Pinus caribaea), and Deglupta (Eucalyptus deglupta).  Due to the high productivity of this particular mixture, RTT expects the 500 MT CO2e/ha target to be met within 22-23 years.
2018: Two hectares planted at Haciendas del Reventazon. The forest is planted with Klinkii (Araucaria hunsteinii), Acacia (Acacia glomerosa), and Deglupta (Eucalyptus deglupta). The Reventazon farm has become a reliable partner for Reforest The Tropics. The new forests are all be planted and managed properly and we expect each of our projects on this farm to meet or exceed initial carbon capture projections. Below is a photo of the planting site.
