Our special focus is on making sustainably manufactured wood products and at the same time bringing back exquisite tropical hardwoods that are in danger of disappearing forever. We currently sell in Costa Rica, so if you need construction wood or architectural millwork such as flooring, moldings, doors, cabinetry components or tongue-and-groove wainscoting for your home or business in Costa Rica, please contact us for references and quotes.

We work mostly in Spanish cedar, laurel, and teak, and we will soon harvest acacia that we planted in 2006. The trees we are growing on our plantations are owned by over 200 individuals and companies who have entrusted us with this task.

Finca Leola S.A. believes that the conservation of tropical hardwoods for future generations will be achieved through sustainable forestry practices that are both a profitable investment and beneficial to the communities and to the ecological biodiversity surrounding our tropical tree farms. We also believe that reducing the pressure against deforestation of old-growth forest is best done by using an alternative renewable source, plantation-grown hardwoods, to manufacture the products traditionally taken from these forests. To this end, we are growing trees for processing and sale as lumber and wood products. After all the trees have been harvested, the land they have helped pay for will be turned over to perpetual forest, forever protected from clear-cutting. The photo below is of the mixed-species plantation where the Maderas Para Siempre factory outlet is located. You can see how much it already resembles a forest. The trees will be harvested a few at a time while planting others to replace them, so it will never look less like a forest than it does now.
