Yesterday was a wonderful mix of the modern and traditional Costa Rica. In the morning, we enjoyed the hospitality of a local family as we assisted in a reforestation project. Students helped locals bring back local flora into an area thad had been clear cut. In the past, many areas of the community were clear cut to make way for cattle. Now however they are realizing that the community, flora and fauna can help the community more than a quick clear cut! Costa Rica has some great programs that help the locals earn a living by supporting the land instead of destroying it…and they are the most aggressive of the Central American communities when it comes to conservation improvement and education.
We have some great pictures to put out tonight and you will enjoy seeing the fruit of the students labor!
Looking forward to the pics!
