Make your positive mark on the island of Koh Trong by planting a tree. For those green thumbs out there, this experience supports Koh Trong Island’s conservation project. Sponsoring a tree directly supports the local community.
Be part of Koh Trong Island’s regeneration project through sponsoring a tree. The community on the island welcome guests to plant a tree whilst visiting. Together with a local community member, visit the forest on the northern end of the island before planting a tree yourself. A placard will be arranged to be placed next to the tree with your name. Sponsoring a tree on Koh Trong Island allows you to see your impact for years into the future and supports the local community.
