The initiative built directly on IAMovement’s ongoing reforestation partnership with Close the Loop Caribbean Ltd, a regenerative social enterprise focused on organic waste capture and upcycling for the production of nutrient-rich compost soil, land regeneration, and reforestation activities. Close the Loop Caribbean’s composting and greening services have been central to building and maintaining the soil conditions at the NQCL site that allow newly planted trees to take root and thrive, building upon early efforts implemented by IAMovement under the EMA-led IWEco-TT project at the National Quarries Sangre Grande site. The operational support of the National Quarries Company Limited was equally instrumental in making the initiative possible, providing the foundation for a collaboration that spans across sectors and scales.

All 350 trees will be maintained over a 3+ year establishment period, with guaranteed replacement of any non-surviving trees; a key aspect of the Close the Loop Caribbean reforestation model that ensures every tree planted reaches maturity. A commemorative plaque will also be installed at the site, permanently recognising the contributions of the Massy Group and its volunteer employees toward land regeneration and reforestation in Trinidad and Tobago.

Building on these efforts, the partnership between IAMovement and the Massy Group reflects a shared belief that meaningful climate solutions require collaboration across all sectors of society. This initiative has created a replicable model for corporate-led ecological restoration; one that integrates nature-based solutions, strategic partnerships, and long-term stewardship to deliver sustained environmental benefits across Trinidad and Tobago. IAMovement looks forward to working alongside the Massy Group to expand the reach and impact of the country’s reforestation efforts, continuing to demonstrate that when organisations come together with purpose, the results are felt not just today, but for generations to come.
