For local folks: my son's technical/environmental colegio is selling tree seedlings at 400 colones each (75 cents). The three species are caoba (big-leaf mahogany), which is listed as endangered, sotacaballo, which is excellent for river and creek borders, and malina, which makes lumber highly resistant to insects, i.e. termites.
The name of the school is C.T.P. Ambientalista Isais Retana Arias, locally known as CAIRA. It is located between Pedregoso and Pedregosito, about 5-10 mins. from the center of San Isidro de El General.
Here's their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/CTP-Ambientalista-Isaías-Retana-Arias/442409599116310?hc_location=timeline

Nature’s Veil travels deep in to your skin to help reestablish a synergistic balance and skin elasticity. It is quickly absorbed leaving no sticky or oily residue on your skin.

• Healing bruising
• Healing cuts or abrasions
• Reducing pain from arthritis or infection


• Reducing pain and itching from insect stings and bite


To Use: Formulated for every day use, Nature’s Veil works best when applied just after bathing and over night. Only a thin veil is necessary. Reapply as needed for soft, supple skin. Consistency will change with temperature, this does not change its effectiveness. Shake well if separation occurs.


Ingredients: cocoa butter. coconut oil, avocado oil, almond oil, aloe, essential oils, and herbs.
