Being Environmental Responsible

The responsibility of owning a nature reserve is immense and imperative.  The delicate balance of plants, trees, animals, birds, insects and water is a responsibility we take seriously.  No trees are to be cut or remove without the guidance from the Environmental Agencies.  We understand and appreciate the efforts to keep the balance intact.  We, as humans, must learn to live within the balance and not disturb, but to learn and understand.  The property contains farm land, but also preserved areas that will not be touched by human activity, but only to be researched for a better understanding of this balance.  Rare species include hummingbirds, woodpeckers, hawks, eagles, macaws, parakeets and on the extinction list is the Yellow Beak Toucan.  Our plan is to enhance the Atlantic Rainforest by introducing more native species of plants and trees, introducing bees to help pollinate the forest, planting at the various springs to increase water flow and limit human activity on 80% of the land.  With our efforts, we hope to preserve, appreciate nature and the delicate balance and to live within this natural balance.  Education is a big part of understanding and appreciating our responsibility and our desire to preserve for future generations.
