Quick update tonight and adding good mixed soils to the planted tree beds. All trees are still alive and well.
We have raised a total so far of:
Steem- 40
SBD- 71.609
Outcomes to date:
30 native trees planted
One local has so far joined the tree planting part of this project.
480 Peru Soles donated to EcoSwell not for profit: forwarded to their reforestation program.
30.332 SBD and 11 Steem held in savings until price goes and helps for accounting (check my wallet)
Creation of carbon offset directly derived for all Steem activities (takes a lot of energy to propel Steem).
Building a socio-enviromental aware community platform on Steemit.
I donate 100% of the SBD earned on the reforestation posts (like this one) to a local ngo called Ecoswell. This ngo has a reforestation program in which they have small garden nurseries in the village. I donate to them and I get lots of tree saplings to plant myself. This on behalf of all you upvoters. If there is any change to this format, as they might as this grows, I will inform everyone with a blog post on steemit.
My most recent posts that includes a written description, photos and personal comment feedback:
There are more people out there than you think, but we each can help in our own way. I am worried if I start looking at those surf spots online, I am going to get the travel bug. I love going to places where I can't understand a language and have to rely of reading (trying to) body language/facial expressions. How long are you traveling for?
Hmm than this is maybe not your country. It is unbelievable how good the english speaking skills are of the locals, even on the most remoted aread! I would say, just go! I am almost going home and I am sure I will plan my next trip soon!
We are happy to be part of the APPICS bounty program.
APPICS is a new social community based on Steem.
The presale was sold in 26 minutes. The ICO will start soon.

I really love the work you're doing and the last line is awesome:
"Let's make something bigger. Let's make a forrest."
Thanks for improving the world demonstrating the power of STEEM.
I was curious about your cover photo. Is that you surfing and if so, where? Would love to see some posts on surfing. I got to surf in Costa Rica a while back and loved it completely.
It is my pleasure @lukestokes and just doing my part. The forest part is coming along nicely. A piece of land has been identified, 200+ tree seedlings located and ready to go. I am putting together a funding proposal to get this off the ground. We are looking to include a water tower, water tank, drip feed irrigation system, native trees and a few other plants to induce some permaculture. So we are looking to add also vetiver, passion fruit and papaya fruit. This evening I will be planting a few more trees around where I live. I will keep that going until the funding goal has been reached. Once I have all the details and written it out. I will make a blog of vlog about it in the coming week. It is beautiful to see so many people helping out, not only with upvotes and donations, but in other ways too.
As for the surfing part, well that is me surfing the point of Lobitos, Peru a couple of years back. It is the main reason why I stuck it out here, cause there are so many spots around, always offshore and the water is never freezing. If I can I am so going to mix up surfing with upvote a tree project.
Sometimes the point here can handle a bigger wave. This was one of those days.
hello cryptoteen, thank you so much for your kind words and mention in your article (which is a good read). We are moving now to plant over a 100 trees in one area. Just sorting out the proposal and I will post that on steemit.
Bru, there are loads of people getting involved in their own way. It is really cool to see it grow. I am glad you had a great time here. It was my pleasure. Oh definitely planting more trees.
Very nice project.
thank you. sometimes simple is best and with steemit it works.
Very true!👍🏻
I am in love with your project! Such a good thing to know there are still people who care about our earth!
