Funded and run by the community of Santa Elena the 310 hectares of santa elena Cloud Forest Reserve are dedicated to conservation and education. The students of the local high school play a vital role in its development.
A walk through a Santa Elena Cloud Forest reveals a lush garden of mosses, ferns, flowers and epiphytes growing thickly on every tree. Clouds drift in and settle among the slopes, providing the plants with the continuous moisture that they require. Dangling roots and vines sweep across the trails, while the sounds of birds and other creatures echo throughout the forest. |
