Sand box chickens. Our laying hens love to chill out in our sand piles. Maybe it helps in removing ectoparasites, maybe it keeps them cool on hot days, maybe they just like to have their own chicken beach party! Happy Easter from the TREES crew..

We had the pleasure to host Chris Sayers from the Biodiversity Research Institute (BRI). He was working on assessing contemporary methylmecury exposure to resident and migratory bird species of Belize with @treesocietybelize being one of his study sites. Chris collected both blood and feather samples of birds caught during our regular banding operations. Contact us to see the results of his study.

Spring has arrived and that means thousands of different species of birds are migrating. Birds face many challenges on their long journey North, the largest being the light emitted from cities. With the majority of birds flying at night, bright lights and skyglow can disorient these birds and cause them to fly into buildings. Do your part this migration season and #dimyourtlights.

For more information we recommend you visit www.worldmigratorybirdday.org website.

Official day was May 14th but our effort for change is everyday..

Yellow-faced Grassquit (Tiaris olivaceus), these little birds specialize in feeding of grass seeds. We typically will alternate our lawn mowing in order to allow the grasses to go to seed providing food for this species and the other seedeaters found at the observatory.

Testimonials

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 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!

I just want to start off by saying this trip has been one of the best learning experiences of my life…… I am so glad and fortunate my first internship was with T.R.E.E.S……you guys are doing an astonishing job with the research station, the environment is perfect for people of all levels to learn and develop further their skills as biologists…..Because of this experience, although it was tough at times, I intend to continue my pursuit in becoming a biologist…..You guys were awesome!

DiegoBehavioural Ecology InternVirginia Military Institute

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!

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

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

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 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

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.
