I spend a day visiting the La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica, one of the two most iconic tropical forest research stations (the other being BCI in Panama). It is a two hour drive from San Jose over a magnificent volcanic range. The station is incredibly well set up, with a large canteen and magnificent laboratory facilities and a library. We take a guided work that spots a wonderful variety of birds, as well as harlequin beetles, green and helmeted iguanas, howler monkeys, spider monkeys and a swarm of collared peccaries. I am keen to strike out deep into the old growth forest, but unfortunately our visit there is frustratingly brief. There are some magnificent tall trees there though. The reserve is a peninsula in a sea of deforested land (some of it now regrowing). Having seen the forest I have a more intuitive sense of the place when I read about it in scientific papers.

I have a classmate who took a course that has something to do with Forestry. I have sensed that it's pretty hard that's why I didn't take it! By the way, you did not narrate all experience you had while you were in La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica. I am sure it was your goal to be there; so I am pretty sure that you have maximiZed everything what the place and time has to offer for me. Though it's not my thing, going to La Selva Biological Station looks like an interesting thing to do.
