Foy Streetman
Founder

Foy Streetman claims to be half Texan, half Okie, and half Costa Rican. Yes, that is a little over the top mathematically, but the sum fits the man. Streetman,a gentle giant in his sixties, is all about commitment to a cause. He comes to ecological concerns from a successful background in oil and manufacturing, and he does so with a vengeance! At an age when most men are retiring, Streetman seems to be gearing up for the long fight. He is an advocate of the ever decreasing rain forests and a friend to endangered species both in the plant and animal kingdoms.

Streetman’s hero is Johnny Appleseed, the American pioneer who traveled westward in the early 1800s planting apple seeds. Just like Johnny, Streetman delights in seeing seedlings grow. He loves to brag about the 24/7, 365 day growing season in Costa Rica where sun and soil can nourish a seedling to a 100 foot tall tree in ten years.
