Students from Germantown Academy help plant trees for the future
We were delighted to welcome a group of students from Germantown Academy for an immersive overnight stay, 13-14 February 2025, at Las Casas de la Selva. During their brief but impactful visit, these young stewards of the environment took part in a hands-on conservation activity—planting endangered tree species as part of our ongoing forest enrichment work.
Special thanks to 3t for leading the plant and field activities and offering guidance and insight into the significance of rainforest restoration. Deep gratitude also goes out to Jon Warwick and Mercury for their crew and kitchen support, ensuring everything ran smoothly on the ground. We also thank chef Monique Nieves for preparing deeply nourishing meals that fueled everyone for a meaningful day’s work.
Every tree planted is a step toward protecting Puerto Rico’s precious biodiversity. We thank Germantown Academy for being part of that journey.
Thanks to Jesyka Melendez Rosa for the introduction!
