We believe in the transformative power of nature and want you to experience it firsthand. Visit with your family and friends and connect with nature as a volunteer. The hours you give will contribute to the planting of 750,000 native and endemic trees, educate on the importance of maintaining the health of ecosystems and help grow the resources needed to ensure that 33% of lands in Puerto Rico are protected by 2033. Choose an activity and time that most interests you and get back to nature.
Hundreds of people like you are the champions of the conservation history that we’re writing together. The ecosystems we work in, the species we help thrive and the allied communities and schools will all feel your effort. We thank you.
