Making Mangroves

What Sets Us Apart

The Ree difference

Join us for a hands-on experience where we contribute to coastal ecosystem restoration by planting mangrove trees. Mangroves play a crucial role in protecting shorelines, supporting marine life, and combating climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide. In this workshop, you'll learn about the importance of mangroves, proper planting techniques, and how you can make a positive impact on our environment. Together, we will work to create a healthier and more resilient coastal ecosystem. Let's roll up our sleeves and get planting!

​

It's also important to maintain the environment for the mangroves and wildlife to thrive. Therefore the Ree Mangrove Planting experience involves the cleaning of the wetlands before the mangroves are planted. The waste collected will then be appropriately dealt with by Ree and a report provided.
