NECTANDRA
What do we do?
Nectandra Institute carries out educational programs for
the general public, and conducts limited scientific studies
to support its educational goals. These goals are to promote
understanding of neotropical cloud forests: their biodiversity,
their ecology, and their importance to our future.
Where do we do it?
Nectandra Institute carries out its work at a cloud forest
preserve in northern Costa Rica. Located near the city of
San Ramon, the preserve is at an elevation of 1100-1200m,
and has an area of approximately 100ha. The preserve is
adjacent to the highway from San Ramon to La Fortuna, on
the Atlantic slope of the Cordillera Tilaran.
Facilities on location
Our preserve is in two parts. Four hectares, closest to
the road, known as the Garden, is dedicated to public education,
with facilities for horticultural, botanical, scientific
exhibits, a small café, and a small art gallery featuring
subjects and objects from cloud forests. The remaining area
in the preserve will be restricted to scientific research.

How can I help NECTANDRA ?
To know how I can
help, please contact us !
To all friends
of the forest:
As a publicly-supported educational organization, Nectandra
Institute relies on broad public support in order to keep
its tax-exempt status. We cannot depend on just a few donors,
or occasional grants. The officers and other interested
parties also cannot largely support the Institute; excessive
contributions from a few people will result in the revocation
of its tax-exempt status. Even if you cannot make a large
donation, every gift is important to the Institute, and
is very much appreciated!
Also, we would very much like to
hear from you; please send us your comments and questions.
They will help us to improve this web-site.
Thank you for your collaboration.
