Description
I am Manuel from Osa Peninsula. I was born and raised on the Osa Peninsula, owner of an old finca on the peninsula which is composed of a food forest, primary forest but also deforested areas.
Our project is to create a food forest, reforest deforested areas, preserve the existing rainforest, build wood cabins, develop our vegetable garden, maintain and develop our cocoa plantation, and maintain our garden of native plants of the Osa Peninsula. On the farm you can see many animals since we are connected to the Corcovado National Park.
This year our goal is to plant 2000 trees. with species native species to the Osa Peninsula.
It is a perfect place for bird lovers.
