Our tree planting was a great expirement, we planted over 500 trees total a few weeks ago, but the crabs ate them. ICE has agreed to donate more so we can try it again, this time though we are taking the trees to the hostel and caring for them there. After they get bigger and stronger we will take them to the beach and try again. The trees we got were pretty small the first time around. We are  building little cages for them also so the crabs have a harder time  getting to them…

Saturday June 5th Solo Bueno planted 20 new trees at the guiled iguana entrance to Guiones. Ice donated 500 trees total to the guiones sector of the Ostional Refuge. A Big thanks to Steve Reyer  from Coconut Harrys’ Surf shop for coordinating the event. And A SUPER BIG THANKS to Julie and Fran for helping out with the planting…….

Well the rain has started, but the good thing is no more dust!!! and everything is so green now and life at the Bueno is chillled out…come visit and enjoy some of this….
