On an island where green space is rapidly vanishing under concrete and construction, this untouched land — Aruba’s last undeveloped private terrain in Noord — could easily have been transformed into resorts or restaurants. Instead, it is now being reforested and preserved.

​

Thanks to the vision and generosity of Ewald Biemans, Grete Marie Case, and the strong support of Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort, this precious land — covering 13 hectares (32 acres) — will now be preserved forever.

​

Gifted in 2020, the nature preserve is dedicated to safeguarding Aruba’s native ecosystem for the enjoyment of both residents and visitors.

​

Our goal is clear: to reforest, restore, and protect — creating a living legacy of sustainability for generations to come.

​

“Every tree we plant strengthens the foundation for a more resilient and self-sustaining Aruba. The preserve is more than a carbon sink; it is a living classroom and a gift to our island where nature, people, and knowledge come together. By protecting and restoring our ecosystems, we can show that even a small island can make a meaningful contribution to global climate action.”
— Ewald Biemans, Owner of Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort
