River and Duffy Return to Old Roots

Two years after a horrific pandemic put the world to a stop, our two heroes, River and Duffy, made their return to the breathtaking scenes, astounding rainforests, and affable locals of Monteverde, Costa Rica. The two boys acquired their noble steed, an overpriced blue Toyota, and swerved up and down the windy roads of the Costa Rican countryside before making the trek up the magnificent mountains to the mystical Cloud Forest. Once there, River and Duffy were eager for a new quest and discovered that there was work to be done at the Monteverde Institute, a bastion of environmentalism and rainforest protection. The institute had been spearheading reforestation projects for over twenty years and needed the help of two exceptional people to make a push for their final goal: reforest a corridor from the mountains down to the Pacific Ocean. With the guidance of Sir Randy of San Jose, River and Duffy reorganized two tree nurseries, preparing saplings for the front lines of the war against deforestation. Luckily, River and Duffy had assistance from two new-comers, Wyatt and Alida of Vermont and Maine respectively. Together, they shoveled mountains of dirt, moved wheel barrels full of baby trees, and separated seeds from the inedible fruits of some type of plant whose name has been lost to time. After all of the preparations were made, the stage is set for a reforestation project of epic proportions.
