VOLUNTEER TROPICAL RESEARCH ASSISSTANT in Monteverde, Costa Rica. The work will be monitoring and assessment of reforestation areas at the Cloud Forest School, where students in grades K to 11 have been reforesting abandoned pastures to restore the tropical cloud forest. I am seeking someone to assist with tree measurements, counting seedlings, assessing ground cover, and data entry. The assistant will work with and help mentor high school students on the project. There is also the opportunity to help start a large scale monitoring of reforestation. The assistant must have field experience and be able to work independently. Pay is not available at this time. This is an ideal opportunity to develop an independent project or be a co-author on a publication. Spanish speaking skill are helpful.
