Our track record
Our method is simple: We train artisan woodworkers to produce high-quality products from well-managed forests and help connect these products to good markets.
Our goal: Return as much value as possible form every harvested tree to the people who depend upon—and help sustain—some of earth’s most endangered forest resources.
The proof is in our nearly twenty years of on-the-ground development in Latin American communities.
Put simply, GreenWood works.
“If there were a few more GreenWoods and MaderaVerdes, the world would be a much better place.”
