Fideicomiso del Bosque Modelo de Puerto Rico

Our Mission

Bosque Modelo (The Puerto Rico Model Forest) is an independent, non-profit organization created by law 182-2014 as a collaboration between a public corporation, a community multisector network and an independent trust in 2014. In 2018, the public corporation ceased to exist. Since July 2018, Bosque Modelo is an independent not for profit organization led by its multisector community network composed by 35 community-based organizations.

Bosque Modelo of Puerto Rico is a management structure with sustainable development that offers fundamental ecologic services, not only to the people that reside within the geographical footprint of the region, but to everyone who resides in the island of Puerto Rico. More than a conservation or recreation area, Bosque Modelo is a territorial management model that focuses on people who work in creating multisectoral alliances with those who share a common vision towards sustainable development in a vast, useful, and valued territory. Bosque Modelo is an instrument of comprehensive economic development focused on a wooded landscape where natural attributes are valued, and community empowerment processes are promoted.
