TREE Planting
Tree planting has become one of the most popular activities among visitors. Everyone wants to plant a tree to contribute to the community. The area is almost full and we plan to extend beyond our compound. For the cost of planting, please refer to Products & Rates on the Website or you may donate towards this cause.
One of our greatest concerns is the depletion of the Nyireh timber for woodcarving. The pictures above are of the highly sought-after Nyireh Batu mangrove mahogany tree. For some reason, the great Nyireh thrives on the coasts of Carey Island and its surroundings. No other area in the country has a larger concentration of both the species, Nyireh Batu and Nyireh Bunga. This package is not to populate the island with more mangroves. The planting is to contribute towards preventing erosion from destroying an area they use to celebrate their new year. Mangrove species which is threatened can also be re-introduced.
