Welcome to TRASS - Terrestrial Restoration Action Society of Seychelles
We are targeting visitors during their holiday to support our carbon offsetting programme. They will buy a tree cost 10 euro each, they plant that tree and help to make a difference.
Just by doing this their holiday will be one with difference.
We communicate with hotel owners and tourism partners so they can support the programme.
Those planting we used our site or any site available but with owner’s permission.
Our first event was on the 27th of September at Pasquere site, we officially launched our holiday with a difference programme, Hotel Raffle was our first establishment to support our event by planted 80 trees: Bonnen kare, Bwa torti and Bwa sousouri. Present for the event were the visitors, Raffles staff, TRASS and Gaea management and staff, La pirogue restaurant staff, media coverage by SBC and Seychelles nation.
Our next activity for holiday with a difference were a small presentation at Hotel Raffles of Seychelles in a management cocktail, on the 23rd of November at 7pm. Present were the hotel resident, staff and TRASS team. The TRASS Project Manager made the presentation to explain the programme and to convince the clients to support our vision and help to make a difference. We managed to at least convince a few.
Our last programme for this year was on the 25th November, a tree planting at Pasquiere site. Present were 3 couples from Raffles Hotel, Raffles and TRASS staff. We planted about 40 plants.
