PE 1658
Costa Rica Tree Climbing

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2016-2017.

The rainforest canopy is home to many arboreal animals: rare frogs, toucans, monkeys, orchids. Yet even after great public alarm and dismay over the loss of tropical forest, only minor attempts have been made to plant native trees and develop sustainable forestry systems in the tropics. Come visit the rainforest and draw your own conclusions about the preciousness of the rainforest and best means to sustain it. We will spend ten days in Costa Rica, traveling to the Rio Guabo valley to explore the canopy of a lowland tropical rainforest. You will learn how to use ropes and technical gear to get into the canopy of any tree, to move around, to climb from one tree to another, without coming back to the ground.

When Offered Fall.

Fees Course fee: $2100.
