Making a difference one tree at a time!
PLANT FOR A PURPOSE
In June 2024, La Brea Industrial Development Company Limited (LABIDCO), our landlord in Trinidad, invited us to volunteer at the launch of Phase II of their “Plant for a Purpose” project on the La Brea Industrial Estate.
Owned and managed by LABIDCO, the La Brea Industrial Estate is 407 acres of fully developed land with all relevant infrastructure and utilities. The Estate is strategically located on the South-Western peninsula of Trinidad and is readily accessible via the Southern Main Road. The Estate consists of:
- 65 serviceable lots for light manufacturing and energy-based industries
- a 14m wide Estate Corridor Road
- The Port of Brighton – a deep water harbor
The “Plant for a Purpose” project was launched in 2023 with LABIDCO utilizing unusable lands on the Estate for biological carbon sequestration through tree planting. This initiative plays an important role in offsetting the quality of air and promoting better health for the island. During Phase I, 181 trees were planted on approximately 4000 sq.m. of land.
LABIDCO launched Phase II of the project, planting 400 trees on 15,000 sq.m. and Tiger was there to help with our Trinidad team!
