One of our main partners is the Toucan Ridge Ecology and Education Society (T.R.E.E.S) and their field station in Belize. The objectives of this environmental education center are to host various cultural and environmental based student courses, workshops and event hosting in the heart of the beautiful Maya Mountains of Belize.

The waterfall!

Last week end during the famous herp-o-thon the whole TREES crew finally made it up the famous waterfall. This waterfall is very famous in Belize, everyday we have people stop in front of the property to take a peek and pictures of this waterfall. While it is very small during the dry season this 300 ft. waterfall can be gushing like mad after a big rainfall. We see this waterfall everyday from the station and were very pleased to reach it after about an hours hike in the thick jungle and a very steep climb. In addition to seeing many cool plants and animals we were rewarded by a cool fresh breeze at the bottom of the falls! We hope to bring our climbing gear next time and repel down this beauty.
