There is a wide variety of birds, butterflies, reptiles and mammals. A background in environmental studies is helpful, but not required. Volunteers assisting with this project should have a strong level of conversational Spanish ability. In a small agricultural community, located about 30 minutes from the reserve, several farmers participate in a project to produce organic crops. Volunteers live with host families in the community and have the opportunity to see an entirely different side of life in Costa Rica.
Volunteers have meals and lodging at a building at the entrance to the reserve.
Meals are served in a dining hall. Food is good and plentiful. Lodging is free for volunteers. Inc. 2458 River Rd.
