Wild Studies Green is an 8 day eco-educational adventure for up
to 16 students chaperoned by their teacher. Through our instructors
participants will be introduced to life within a tropical rainforest
and learn first hand how it is important to the world. They will
also learn how the rest of the world is rapidly having its effect
on the rainforest. This is accomplished through daily field trips
to our informal classrooms in the forest. Here, hands on learning
will be applied to familiarize students with the plants, mammals,
birds, reptiles, and insects of the rainforest.
 We
will visit a wide variety of environments during daylight and darkness.
River hiking, waterfalls, beaches, lagoons and mountainous terrain
will all be visited and studied. Segments on geology of the area,
history, and interaction with our local neighbors will round out
the weeks activities.
