designed as an environmental-tract service
trip. Students work with Cloud Forest School
in Monteverde with a reforestation project,
organic gardening, and assisting with the
maintenance of their outdoor classroom.
There is also a project (ANAI) with the
Gandoca Wildlife Refuge building hatcheries
and relocating the eggs of the endangered
leatherback sea turtle population.
ANAI marine Program has worked with the
local community in Gandoca to protect the
Leatherback Sea Turtle nesting population in
the Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge by
improving the beach habitat for turtle nesting
and protecting the turtle eggs from poaching
and domestic predators. Students live with
Costa Rican families and work closely with
local environmental specialists and biologists
from around the world. The trip is limited to
14 students and 1 staff member and costs
$1,150.00.
