I just wanted to update you with what is happening with our plant tours in 2021. We have postponed some tours originally planned for 2020 to 2021: Baja (April), South Africa (August), Ecuador (September), and Madagascar (October). In addition, we are also organizing a extra tour in November 2021: Chile-Argentina.

A proof of vaccination will be required to participate in any tours.

We hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.

When the world opens up again, and it will, we will be ready to safely travel abroad.
