Since 2007, Ardelle has dedicated community-based efforts to the preservation of a 400-year-old Ceiba tree, located in the heart of El Parque de Ceiba in Vieques, Puerto Rico. Ardelle is the principal force promoting the legacy of the sacred Ceiba tree and encouraging the youth of Vieques to absorb the wealth of knowledge the Ceiba tree has to offer by incorporating art, culture, nature, and spirituality in a way that emphasizes the conservation of their ancestors' land, the sacredness of the tree, and its teachings.
