Day of Service at the Reef National Park in Puerto Morelos, Mexico

Positive Legacy partnered with Reef National Park of Puerto Morelos for an amazing Day of Service with Paradise Waits fans and then the following week with My Morning Jacket Fans in January, 2014. We experienced the underwater wonders of the area 

by snorkeling in the reef, sampled the invasive species lionfish ceviche, and got our hands dirty chipping wood into compost & planting shrubs along the dunes. Local students set up information stations & presentations on programs to reduce waste & sustain the coastal ecosystems of Puerto Morelos. We also planted native species of grasses and plants at the turtle sanctuary at the park. The day ended with delicious food, live music & dancing by local artists. Thank you to all who came along on this inspiring adventure and helped us as we support the park’s educational programs!

Thank you to Kirsten Cohen for capturing some great pics during the My Morning Jacket’s One Big Holiday Day of Service.
