it's now been over a month since Piggy's island rescue. At an estimated weight of 400 lbs, AKA Hogzilla, was a little larger than expected but we have worked it all out. He is fitting in well with chickens and sheeps andcthe myriad of TREES pets. He is converting all of our farm scraps into great manure for our composts and soils. #farm #farms #outdoorclassroom #sustainable #community #travelbelize #inspiration #health #pig #spices #petpig #pigsofinsta #animalrescue #farmanimals #treesocietybelize #photooftheday #local #insta #belizesmallfarms #belize #treesbelizefarms #farmer #smallfarms #organic #cute #love #iamcountryside #farming #hogs @treesocietybelize #mrPiggy

The Rufous-tailed jacamar (Galbula ruficauda), a common breeder to Central America. It uses its long sharp bill to catch flying insects including; wasps, dragonflies, butterflies, etc. It has a beautiful high pitch call that is recognizable from a distance. #birds #BirdsOfInstagram #birdstagram #birdseyeview #Kings_birds #bird #photooftheday #naturelover #nature #local #love #insta #wild #belize #conservation #science #outdoorclassroom #banding #birdbanding #selvamaya #studyabroad #trbo #travelbelize #naturebelize #birdsoftoucanridge #treesocietybelize #birdphotos #birdringing #baguagesoiseaux #TRBO

Collared Aracari (Pteroglossus Torquatus) is a small toucan common to Belize. We are very lucky to have a resident family group living at the properly named Toucan Ridge Bird Observatory. They are a great seed disperser, commonly observed feeding on palm fruits and distributing the trees seeds far and wide. Good for both species.

Hurricane Iota. Seems like we are lucky again to have missed the heart of it and the destructive winds but we will be getting a ton of rain. The 30th stormed (of the named one's) named this year for this year's Atlantic hurricane season.

Testimonials

We LOVED staying at T.R.E.E.S! Very educational, excellent hospitality and food. It was an unforgettable experience and I will definitely be back! Thank you for all your hard work!!

Stacy & JaredSave the Frogs Eco-Tour guests

It’s hard to express how much gratitude I have with a simple “thank you”, but I guess it’ll have to do. This place is an oasis in an oasis and the things I’ve learned and experienced here will last forever. Oh yeah, the food’s great and Mat and Vanessa are the best.

ConnorHerpetology InternUniversity of Texas

T.R.E.E.S. is without a doubt one of the best places you can stay in Belize! Mat and Vanessa are awesome, and the rest of their staff is very helpful. They are always willing to help you with whatever you need, even if it’s setting up tours with other tour groups. The grounds are amazing. If you’re looking to stay in a rainforest with some great people, T.R.E.E.. is the place for you. Also, the food is amazing!

BeckyStudentUniversity of Florida.

Having travelled to the wilder parts of Costa Rica, Brazil, Peru and Bolivia, I can say that Toucan Ridge is a tremendous destination for biology or environmental studies courses – the mix of humid tall rainforest, mist-covered hills, jungle river, second growth and low intensity citrus fields provides an amazing richness in species, habitats, and teaching opportunities. During our course, we recorded about 60 species of birds, nine species of bat, various possum and rodents, as well as 3 larg… Read more

After spending a week at T.R.E.E.S this past summer, I feel that I have grown as a student, a scientist, and a person with the T.R.E.E.S directors and staff’s help. So many wonderful memories made despite having to confront a lot of fears and personal limitations…I am certainly more of a “city-girl.” But I honestly did end up enjoying myself! I decided to come on this trip to challenge myself and I feel that I came out of it with even more than I was hoping for: friends, fun, once in … Read more

MichelleStudentUniversity of Iowa

Thank you so, so much for everything. The food was absolutely amazing, and the facilities were great – luxury compared to the last place we stayed. Thank you for being so nice and accommodating. I could live here!!! I will miss the place. ,

AmieEco-TouristSanta Cruz

T.R.E.E.S is a beautiful piece of paradise. The cabins gave a lookout into the backyard jungle, and the center is open and welcoming. There were so many things to see and do! Also the food is amazing!

BaileyBiology StudentUniversity of New Brunswick

Thank you for the amazing opportunity to stay at T.R.E.E.S with Save the Frogs. My daughter and I were not just luxuriously comfortable in the middle of the rainforest, but also well fed and amidst the frogs, bats, reptiles, birds, butterflies and an abundance of tropical foliage. Hopefully it will not be a one-time visit!

ChotiSave the Frogs Eco-Tour guest

T.R.E.E.S immediately felt like home to me thanks to the beautiful yet rugged facilities, Vanessa’s welcoming smile, and Matt’s delicious cuisine! There was always something amazing to do or see. You get both quantity and quality when it comes to experiencing true Belize ecology at the T.R.E.E.S field station. Thank you T.R.E.E.S!

BrittanyBiology StudentUniversity of New Brunswick

In my travels to wilderness hotspots in various tropical parts of the world – West Indies, East Africa, India, Seychelles, Comoro Islands, Madagascar, New Zealand, Hawaii etc – I have come across few places that can match Toucan Ridge for sheer biodiversity that is really accessible – there is even a bus stop right there! To have rainforest pristine enough for jaguars, right next to stream and overgrown-orchard habitats, is truly exceptional. Bird netting there for just a few days in March… Read more
