Guests of the resort are invited to plant a tree in the beautiful hotel grounds. For the cost of less than Rp. 195,000 (USD 20), a tree of the guest's choice is planted and a plaque installed with their name and special message engraved on it. Funds raised are then passed on to FNPF (Friends of National Parks Foundation is a local non-profit organisation working to preserve Indonesia’s wildlife and its habitat for her people and for the world). A gift that gives twice!
Since its inception the program has been resulted in millions if rupiahs to help plant trees as part of the Bali Bird Sanctuary reforestation program. This support means that we can increase the habitat for the birds who make their home in Nusa Penida (An island southeast of Bali island of Indonesia).
And the most popular tree selected... the mango tree.
