How TCNC was Founded
The council was founded on April 1st, 2020 during the beginning of the Covid 19 lockdown. A think tank was established between friends of Bobby DR Buckter, who decided it was a good time to complete his plans of making an environmental nonprofit. The name comes from Mount Cerro Nara in Costa Rica, to which he part of a conservationist association and owns much land.
Currently
As of 2021 TCNC operates both in California and Costa Rica through a nonprofit internationally.
