The Costa Rica Science Exchange

Through a collaboration with the Sister Cities program, Estes Park (the gateway community to Rocky Mountain National Park) supports a high school student science exchange with the Santa Elena Cloud Forest in Costa Rica. Students who participate study several common species in both parks, including Mountain Lions/ Pumas and birds. Note that this project is currently in the pilot phase.
