Our world revolves around trees.
Our forest is alive and provides habitat for people, fauna, and flora.
Our story began in 2007.
We set out as pioneers to transform degraded former pastures in Costa Rica into permanent mixed forests, using a near-natural forestry concept with native tree species. Reforesting forests – that is our expertise. We have now been active in the field of reforesting tropical forest landscapes for 15 years. Currently, we supervise more than 3,500 hectares of land – and continue to grow.
The need for a sustainable economy concerns us all and presents us with major challenges. Building on our expertise and competencies, we are addressing those challenges. Within our reforestation-based businesses fields, we have developed innovative and natural solutions – generating added value at all levels.
BaumInvest combines economic aspects with ecological responsibility and social action – it is a meaningful investment in the future!

Why Costa Rica?
Sustainable wood is the solution for the future
Timber is a material that is in high demand and is being more frequently used, especially as application of sustainable or climate-neutral construction methods increase. With increasing demand for this renewable raw material driven additionally by emerging economies, the Hamburg Institute of International Economics (German: HWWI) predicts the price of wood will continue to rise. Requirements for transparency and sustainability are increasingly shaping consumer behavior. This makes an investment in sustainable tropical forestry particularly attractive.
At the same time, we contribute to the supply of wood at our production site and thus its independence from wood imports.
Carbon storage as a key factor in combatting climate change
For the implementation of corporate climate protection goals, the compensation of unavoidable carbon emissions through reforestation has recently increased significantly in importance. More companies than ever are getting involved in self-initiated climate protection projects. In combination with other measures to reduce and avoid emissions, companies can thus achieve their climate protection targets quicker The decisive factor for the increased commitment is the growing pressure from users and consumers , the increased awareness of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the associated competitive advantages. With its proven sustainable mixed forest concept, BaumInvest is a pioneer for Gold Standard certified reforestation projects.
LOCATION SECURITY IN COSTA RICA
Political & legal factors: Costa Rica is economically and politically stable, offers legal certainty and a good investment climate, and is therefore regarded as a regional anchor of stability.
Ecological factors: Costa Rica has established strong governmental and parastatal institutions for climate and environmental protection and is striving, for example, for climate neutrality in the energy sector by 2025. The country has 25 national parks (12.23% of the country’s area), 44 biodiversity corridors (33% of the country’s area), thus protecting its high biodiversity (considered a “biodiversity hotspot” on Earth).
Social factors: Costa Rica has been known for years to invest in education, creating a highly skilled workforce. There is a well-developed social security system and labor protection laws.
CO2 Market: Costa Rica is one of the few countries that has signed the so-called “San Jose Criteria” under the Paris Climate Change Agreement. Double counting of CO2 certificates is thus excluded.

OUR PASSION – THE NATRUAL FOREST CONSERVTION PROGRAM (NFCP)
On our Finca La Virgen, one of our first farms, we have built an educational forest experience trail that leads through one of our reforestations and the neighboring natural forest. This is the NFCP Path – our true passion project. This trail provides a vivid experience of all the functions of the forest ecosystem and simultaneously educates visitors on the complexities of restoring forest landscapes.
The trees of the contributors to the NFCP (we like to call those sponsors ‘Natural Forest Conservers’) are scattered along this path. Together we create new habitats, where countless species of animals and plants can reestablish themselves. Becoming a Natural Forest Conserver , planting trees, protecting species: It’s so easy – and yet so effective.
