Ocean Arks Carbon Sequestering Project: A Forest in Costa Rica
Almost a year ago we embarked upon a long hoped for dream. Our Costa Rica based colleagues and partners, long term New Alchemist William Turley and his green-thumbed wife Angie Sanchez are planting trees on their land on the deforested lower slopes of the Volcano Miravalles in Guanacaste.

Update on RTE Project in Costa Rica
Jatropha Seeds
In partnership with Ocean Arks International's John Todd, RTE's research project in Costa Rica is currently documenting evidence of the enhanced growth of trees by using volcanic rockdust to enrich the soil while reforesting previously devastated, overgrazed grasslands. See this article to learn more about our efforts to increase carbon sequestration through remineralization in Costa Rica.

Forests of Champions
A Conversation with Tree Farmer David Milarch Who Sees New Hope in Old Giants.
By David Yarrow
Christmas Eve, 1996, I interviewed David Milarch, founder of the Michigan Champion Tree Project. Tall, bearded, with stout limbs and a thick trunk, he looks like a latter day Paul Bunyan. Or a full size chestnut tree in flesh and blood. But his lumberjack physique is dwarfed by his immense ideas - and his ardent exposition of them. However, the Paul Bunyan figure interrogating me is no lumberjack yelling, "Timber!" His vision is to grow, not cut trees - to renew, not remove, ...

David Yarrow, Champion Trees
Trace minerals are essential for plant health and soil biology, but these minerals are often depleted by chemical fertilizer use, pollution and acid rain. David Yarrow describes how soil health is compromised by mineral depletion, and the benefits of incorporating trace minerals and sea minerals into landscape settings. He also looks at ...
