"Trees for Life"

"Trees for Life"  delivers species of food, medicinal or economic value, where they are needed most in villages and southern coast conservational sites. Visitors to the nursery are encouraged to make a donation to purchase a tree to support a family, which at the same time offsets the cost of operation, including free delivery of saplings, horticultural training, establishment of satellite nurseries and school environmental awareness programs.
