COMMUNITY REFORESTATION PROGRAM

This is the newest project for the station, and it has received great response. Volunteers will participate in a tree planting program designed to restore some of the native trees that are considered “rare” in the Tortuguero region. Generous donations have enabled the planting of fruit trees in the local community to diet supplements for locals. A seed collection program and germination table has been established to enhance the survival rate of seedlings once they have been transplanted. Volunteers assist in all aspects of the project.
