For the past couple days we have been working in San Cristobal clearing out the invasive plant species that have been ruining the land. After getting rid of the plants we started to restore the land by planting new plants that are native to the Galapagos Islands. The new plants help create a better and safer environment for the tortoises and other species who originated in the Galapagos. We all worked really hard and had a lot of fun while doing it. Its been a great experience and it feels good to know that all our hard work will benefit the tortoises.
