Experience the Beauty of Costa Rica's Pristine Jungles
Our mission is focused on the establishment of a biological corridor linking Costa Rica's Corcovado National Park and Piedras Blancas National Park, two prominent natural reserves. These parks boast magnificent rainforests, host elusive jaguars, and harbor an extraordinary wealth of biodiversity.
The Arboretum: A Symbol of Conservation
Named after the renowned Costa Rican Botanist Luis Jorge Poveda Alvarez, the Arboretum is a collaborative effort involving AFE officials, Bahia Chal community residents, and several other organizations. This ambitious project aims to provide a public point of interest for neighboring communities, tourists, students, and researchers. It serves as a repository of rare and endangered endemic tree species found on the Osa Peninsula.
Your Help is Needed
The Arboretum is still in the process of construction and development, and we need dedicated volunteers like you to help us complete the initial planting of the corridor. Your participation is crucial to the success of this conservation endeavor.
More Than Conservation: A Recreational Haven
Beyond its role in preserving forest biodiversity, the Arboretum aspires to become a hub for naturalists from neighboring communities and a recreational hotspot for visitors. We organize educational and family events, with a special "family day" on the last Sunday of each month. Join us, plan activities for kids, and help make these events a resounding success.
