Dear Friends / Queridos amigos:
We are at the end of the rainy season here in Southwestern Costa Rica. In about 2 months time we will be in the Summer of dry season. And this is the perfect time for us to work on the trails in the rain forest. So far, we have been able to lay out the trail path. Some segments are fairly flat and easy to mark, but other parts are on steep hills and harder to design. Yet, once the daily rains subside it should be a lot easier for us to work on actually building the bridges and putting the gravel along the paths. We hope to get more funding this holiday season so that by January 2017 to actually start the construction. These trails would be of great help not only to avoid innecessary erosion but mostly to facilitate research and make teaching fairly easy. And this is especially true for little kids and their teachers. Children under 7 years of age have a lot more difficulties moving around the forest and crossing little creeks. Thus, safe trails and bridges help make the entire experience more enjoyable and a positive experience for them. Your support so far has been very much appreciated and we hope to continue receving your assistance and that of other contributors that believe in training for conservation at early age.
Sincerely
