VOLUNTEER ACTIVITIES
Reforestation: we collect seeds and let them germinate in our special seedling nursery. We plant new trees in a way that they can evolve perfectly. Furthermore, we clean the trees that have been planted before during our reforestation project, so that they can keep growing.
Inspection of cocoa plants: we help to organize the cleaning of the plants and to prevent pest and parasite infestation.
Birdwatching: we compile lists of the native bird species and of their behaviours.
Reptile observation: observation of reptiles’ habitat.
Amphibian observation: we count the number of frogs and toads and study their behaviour.
Gardening: we plant different plants like orchids and flowers that serve hummingbirds and other bird species as sustenance in our garden.
