| ABOUT US |
| Foundation The Rainforest Trust was founded on the 26th July, 1995, by two friends who had first met in 1979 while students at Princeton University. Brett Ashmeade-Hawkins, Plantation Owner, and the late Jay Hernandez-Leal, Attorney-At-Law, both became determined to help save the rainforest from further senseless destruction. Sadly, Jay died suddenly of a Heart Attack in Miami in August, 1996, at the age of only 39, and he never lived to see his dream fulfilled. However, Brett Ashmeade-Hawkins, joined by his younger brother, Mark, and a small but dedicated group of unpaid volunteers, has lead and managed projects that are in effect in Belize and in other parts of Latin America and the Caribbean that are now saving the rainforest. Our struggle is made difficult by financial challenges and the Rainforest Trust relies on the world wide community to help support our cause through donations and volunteer work in order to accomplish our goals. Organization We are a Charitable Non-Profit Organization registered in compliance with the Laws and Regulations of the State of Florida. All donations to The Rainforest Trust, Inc. will soon be tax-deductible. The Articles of Incorporation and Annual Reports of The Rainforest Trust, Inc. are on file at the Division of Corporations, Florida Department of State, and are open to inspection. |
