Ecotrust loans to boost 'conservation economy'


Ecotrust loans to boost 'conservation economy'
Vancouver's non-profit organization, Ecotrust Canada, has just partnered with a similar organization in the United States in order to support and loan money to businesses which promote a "conservation economy." Ecotrust Canada loaned money to Timbre Tonewood Ltd. in Ucelet, which successfully helped to get their business of making guitar tops off the ground. Ecotrust Canada is presently trying to raise $3.3 million for helping out companies in B.C.'s coastal rainforest area.
