We offer tours of the tropical rain forest here at La Reserva in the Tilaran Mountains overlooking Lake Arenal in Costa Rica. It is a delight to see tourists who come from all around the world become converts after only two hours with us in the forest listening, looking, smelling, and touching. Visitors are ecstatic upon return to headquarters. This response has shown us time and again, that we can make a difference. If you are traveling to Costa Rica and would like a walking tour of La Reserva's forest reserve, please make arrangements by phone or email. We offer two-and four-hour guided walks through the reserve along marked trails. Special arrangements can be made for night time tours. VOLUNTEERING
In the United States, we operate in a virtual work environment and we need grant proposal writers and others who can assist in environmental educational materials and fundraising. In Costa Rica, we need volunteers for tree planting, seed and seedling collection, computer help, fundraising strategies, inspecting farms, and more. Read stories and reports from our forest volunteers. NURSERY
We operate a nursery of over 9,000 indigenous tree seedlings with plans to expand to 20,000 seedlings this year. We donate these trees to landowners in the area who wish to contract unused pastureland to us for forest regeneration. We also sell the trees to people who own small parcels and wish to encourage wildlife populations by creating mini forest corridors between lots. Your purchase of seedlings helps enable us to donate trees to those who can’t afford them and to landowners under contract to La Reserva. Call 8856-2977. DONATIONS

When you walk across the fields with your mind pure and holy, then from all the stones, and all growing things and all animals, the sparks of their souls come out and cling to you and then they are purified and become a holy fire in you. What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, man would die from a great loneliness of the spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man. All things are connected. The work an unknown good man has done is like a vein of water flowing hidden underground, secretly making the ground green. The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature. Great indeed is the sublimity of the Creative, to which all beings owe their beginning and which permeates all heaven. |
