Our Story
Growing change from the roots up.

Founded in honor of Pepito and Feleciana Etcuban, our mission is to protect the land, seas, and communities of the Philippines, so that the natural commons we inherited can be passed on, renewed, to the next generation.

The Leyte Arboretum
Where our first dreams grow.
A living classroom. A peaceful sanctuary.
Nestled in the hills of Tagbubunga, Villaba, the Leyte Arboretum is our flagship project: a protected space where native trees, research, and community come together. It is both a refuge for biodiversity and a gathering place for learning, reflection, and wonder.
