Pacific Park Plants 520 Native Trees to Protect Natural Water Source in Tamarindo

June 26, 2008

Tamarindo, Costa Rica (June 26, 2008) Local government, school children, and Pacific Park worked together to plant 520 native trees to protect a nearby natural water source in Tamarindo for future generations.

The 520 trees were paid for by Pacific Park Condominiums and construction workers took time out from building to dig the holes for the school children, who then planted the tree..

“This was a fun and meaningful two days for everyone involved,” said Paul Cruz, partner in Pacific Park.

The reforestation effort is the beginning of an ongoing environmental campaign to preserve and protect Tamarindo’s natural beauty and ecosystem. This campaign was coordinated by the Environmental and Cultural Committee of Tamarindo in cooperation with the Commission for the Diria Biological Corridor and other local officials.

“Pacific Park is committed to sustainable environmental development,” said Cruz. “We are very happy to be involved with community improvement projects in Tamarindo.”

Pacific Park received praise from the community and letters of thanks from local environmentalists for their involvement.
