Plant a Tree With Us!


With the rainy season now here, it the also the right time to plant trees in our Reserve!  This past week, with the support of Olger, our new tour guide, we planted several trees with two little ladies staying at the hotel.  The girls took part in the reforestation program of the Reserve of Arenas Del Mar.  It is a very nice activity to participate in because this is a donation program where people can a plant a tree and help the rain forest, and the money that is collected is spent in schools of few economical resources; helping kids to have shoes, books and better materials for studying.

In the activity of “Plant a Tree”, the kids (and adults, too!) have the opportunity to choose the tree they want to plant, like ¨monkey guaba tree, inga tree, jicaro tree” and others, and participate in the entire process: helping dig the hole, planting it with their hands and finally, covering the roots with the best fertilized soil.  The forest and animals are so grateful for this project because it helps to provide more life in the reserve.

So, if you come to our hotel, you are invited to participate in the program of ¨Plant a tree with us¨, like these little ladies did…the forest and the kids of the schools will appreciate it!!!
