Maintenance and Care

An agreement was finalized for Brinkman y Asociados Reforestadores de Centro America, S.A. (BARCA) in Panama on the 16th of December, 2006, to maintain and bring to harvest the plantations owned by Forests for Friends Panama Inc. Brinkman & Associates Reforestation Ltd. is Canada’s oldest and most established forest renewal company, with a history of over 35 years in operation. We have been involved in tropical reforestation and plantation management since the 1980’s with operations in Costa Rica since 1994.

A total of 3,400 hectares are registered in the name of Forests for Friends Panama Inc. Thereof 1,980 are planted with teak; 1,317 hectares thereof can be considered commercially attractive plantations and are therefore intensely maintained.
