Rainforest Rescue works with natural bush regeneration techniques and methods, whereby the trees are planted 1.5 metres apart to form a canopy which encompasses pioneer species, secondary species and mature phase species. The pioneer species cycle nutrients, are tough and resilient, and don’t take long to grow a canopy to block out the light. They create a great microclimate for the secondary and mature species to grow.

“Rainforest Rescue wishes to express our sincere appreciation to ReTone for your contribution for our Plant a Rainforest Project. We greatly appreciate your support and your commitment to corporate social responsibility and the environment.” Kelvin Davies, CEO, Rainforest Rescue
