What you’re doing: Assist with botanical and agricultural studies underway at San Luis Research Station and at the Bosque Eterno de los Ninos while enjoying the beautiful nature of Costa Rica. Study biology in three diverse Costa Rican habitats — lowland tropical rainforest, upland tropical cloud forest, and coastal settings. A student says: “We helped researchers at La Selva work on removing invasive species. We also helped plant a native floral garden at one of the field stations that will be used as a teaching garden for different students who visit there.” |
