Agami heron lagoon Restoration

Short-Term Volunteers (2 days)

This opportunity is designed for volunteers who can stay two nights. We understand that many people balance work, family, and studies and can only commit for a short period, often a weekend. Many Costa Ricans fall into this category.

We invite you to join this short-term forest restoration volunteer experience, contributing directly to the recovery and protection of Pacuare’s ecosystems.

Activities Include:

• Removal of invasive vegetation

• Supporting natural regeneration processes

All activities involve physical effort, working outdoors rain or shine. Volunteers must be in good physical condition and willing to work in hot and humid tropical conditions.

Specific dates available in January–February, a key period for preparing forest areas and strengthening ecosystems that support wildlife, including turtles, birds, and other species.

• Must be 18 years old or older, or be accompanied by an adult

• Must be able to work during the day (activities are scheduled according to project needs)

• Must be in good physical condition and able to:
