Environmental education is one of the main activities in our project to take care of the mangroves in the Pacific of Costa Rica. This month has started full of energy in the “Osa Peninsula” thanks to our work with children from local schools.
In just a couple of weeks, we have given workshops in two schools in the South Pacific: The Association for Educational and Cultural Development of Osa (Corcovado School in Puerto Jimenez) and “El Campo” School in “Rincon” Community. In these activities the students learned about the importance of mangroves and they discovered environmental values.
In addition, our field station “Willie Alvaro Trejos” has received a very special visit. The kids from "Corcovado School" and their teachers came to visit us so we could show them more about nature. During a walk on our trail "Heliconia" they explored the environment around us.
The musical workshop of our colleague Luis can’t be missed because it is one of the activities that kids enjoy the most. It's a lot of fun to produce sounds from reused material. We mainly use plastic bottles that are recuperated from waste and we transform them into drums.
