Happy Arbor Day!

ABC's not just for the birds – we're for the trees, too! Trees are essential for birds everywhere. To care for one means caring for the other. That's why, between 2004-2012, ABC helped our partners plant 2.4 million native trees - mostly in South America in the Andes region.

What are you doing to celebrate Arbor Day?

Chilamate Rainforest Eco Retreat is a family run sustainable tourism project dedicated to rainforest conservation, contributing positively to the community and providing an unforgettable tourism experience.

Just outside the bustling town of Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui are the calm waters of Lago Jalapa. The lake and surrounding forest is now managed together by the Ministry of Energy and Environment and the community of Rojamaca to protect these natural resources. Members of the community still work their own farms, however, they have also invested time and energy into making Reserva Lago Jalapa a special place for visitors.
