🌱 Today, in Cañon San Cristóbal Nature Reserve, WCS interns volunteered at a native tree nursery.

🦋 After, we had the chance to release monarch butterflies in their Monarch Waystation.

🎨 We finished off with a botanical illustration workshop led by the staff of Para La Naturaleza.

Create, Conserve, & Protect.

☕ Planting coffee trees is like saying, "let's turn this garden into a party, and the beans are the VIPs" ~☕

✨ EcoVivencias interns helped plant coffee trees and tasted coffee that was prepared differently to understand some of the different flavors of coffee! ✨

Our visit to the Rio Encantado Natural Protected Area site turned out to be a special sight. The Puerto Rican crested toad is the only toad endemic to the Puerto Rican Island and was thought to be extinct since 1967.
