May 14, 2005: Fourth Annual Siembra another Success

Rincón, PR – On a rainy Saturday, at least forty volunteers and forty Montessori students joined forces to plant trees near Domes Beach.

During the activity students and volunteers planted over 225 native species making the Fourth Annual Siembra the most prolific effort yet. The trees were planted to raise awareness and to help reduce the threat of erosion and the resulting sedimentation that is so damaging to Rincón's precious coral reefs.

The participants were visited by Mayor Carlos López who assured the volunteers that they could count on the municipality to help the trees survive.

Many thanks to all the volunteers and to Rincón's Obras Públicas for the tremendous effort.
