Project Serve: Eye on the Rainforest

Environmental Renewal in Las Casas de la Selva, Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico, a series of Islands near the Caribbean, is an unincorporated territory of the United States. It boasts a rich natural beauty ranging from the mountains and volcanic rocks to the native species of plants and animals to the surrounding ocean. The Eye on the Rainforest environmentally focused team will spend the week at the Rainforest Enrichment & Sustainable Forestry Project, located on 1,000 acres of spectacular rainforest land in the Southern Central highlands of Patillas, Puerto Rico. The project's mission is to research and demonstrate the economic use of the rainforests using methods that do not destroy the forest ecology. Your team will take part in all the activities of the project, including forestry work, road and truck maintenance, plantation surveying, construction, nursery work, and erosion control.
