Tree Planting

Collaborate with FNPF (Friends of National Parks Foundation – non profit organization working to preserve Indonesia’s wildlife and its habitat for her people and for the world), Maya Ubud Resort & Spa initiates a program to support the environment’s preservation and protection.

This program welcomes all Maya Ubud guests to take part by planting tree(s) along the resort’s riverside nature walk. Variety of threes are available from the resort’s nursery such as mango, coconut, clove, guava, jackfruit, breadfruit, mangos teen, water apple, coffee, etc. After pick the tree(s)’ preference, guests may also choose the spot of tree(s) will be planted. Moreover, this tree(s) will be tagged with the name, date of planting, and other chosen words guest may consider.

Mr & Mrs. Wolfgang Baermann from Germany have participated in this program. They have tried to grow tropical tress they had from Bali back in their country but had no success. Then they decided to have their own mango tree in Maya Ubud, and will look forward to seeing how it will develop on future visits.

A little fee is charged with the proceeds being donated to FNPF. Guests’ donation will help them to pursue the reforestation of the islands in Indonesia. They will plant about 3 seedlings for each of the contribution.

In my personal observation, being concern of global warming, this program becomes one of my favorites in Maya Ubud. I hope this tree planting may help offsetting the carbon emissions and keenly contribute a temperature decrease. Overall, I think it’s quite a nice feeling just to think becoming part in fighting global warming.
