Planting trees

On June 17, Maureen Duncan, representing the San Diego Rotary Club, sponsored a tree planting project at Bosque Santa Lúcia.  Some 25 Rosewood trees were planted in the area across from the main entrance to the reception center.  Some of Marina's students from her visit here ten years ago participated in the event.  Obrigado!

Legendary Muiraquitã frog

One of our woodsmen at Bosque Santa Lúcia discovered this juvenile frog in the nearby forest at Bosque Santa Lúcia.  It's a very rare frog, maybe in extinction.  Passengers from the cruise ship, VIKING SKY were indeed fortunate to see this frog.  Many had seen paintings of the frog in the Santarém Museum before coming to the Bosque.
