Observation On June 8, a count was made and it was found that

there are 524 trees in good condition, projected in the first stage 506.The La Colina lot has approximately 5 hectares, in which the first 506 trees have been planted on ½ hectare. With the support of The Pollination Project, the maximum of 530 tree seedlings have been planted; we project the possibility of doing the same work in 2018 in two different spaces.
