We specialize in three things: tropical rainforest exploration, cultural experiences, and conservation. First and foremost we take people into the heart of tropical rainforest and reef ecosystems. Second, we immerse in the cultures of Belize, Guyana, and Jamaica. And third, we promote conservation and sustainable living through experiential education and supporting local protected areas. In order
to get the most out of these experiences we constantly push individuals to step outside of their comfort zone and embrace the area beyond, a place we refer to as the "magic zone." If you are able step outside of that familiar comfort zone amazing experiences await - experiences that could not happen unless you make the conscious effort to get uncomfortable. Contrary to how it sounds, being uncomfortable will actually lead to a more enjoyable trip and might possibly make your TREE expedition a defining event in your life. Once you are comfortable being uncomfortable you will be able to sleep on any surface, sleep near any giant insect, hike through any terrain, deal with any heat or humidity, and truly enjoy yourself in the forest. If you are able to get to this level then you will also be able to experience the real culture of whichever CARICOM nation you are in. With deep exposure to both the natural environments and cultures of these countries, and informal discussions led by TREE staff, you will gain experiential knowledge without the need for a classroom. Cultural activities become recess. And you leave with a better understanding of the challenges and the best paths forward for conservation and sustainability. If that occurs, mission completed.
