  WHAT TO SEE?

The Tirimbina Rainforest Center of Wisconsin and Sarapiquí

The mission of TRC is:

• To preserve an endangered tropical forest ecosystem and its biological diversity;

• To develop a unique educational resource that fosters understanding of the interrelatedness of life on Earth through the process of scientific investigation;

• To provide research opportunities in temperate/tropical ecology, biodiversity, and forest restoration.

In late 1994, the Milwaukee Public Museum and Riveredge Nature Center agreed to jointly sponsor acquisition of 300 hectares (750 acres) of the Tirimbina tropical rainforest in the Sarapiquí region of northeastern Costa Rica for preservation and for developmentof innovative education and research opportunities. Both MPM and RNC have long histories of high quality educational programming in biological analysis, ecology, and the environment, emphasizing both local/regional and global perspectives.

Tirimbina Rainforest Center is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation that operates in Costa Rica and develops program with participation from the two member institutions. Funds are raised through private donations.

TRC is a resource for teachers, school groups, ecotourists, and scientists from Wisconsin and elsewhere to explore matters of biological diversity, preservation and Costa Rican culture. At the Centro Neotrópico Sarapiquís in Costa Rica, on work trips to the reserve, and through workshops and curriculum offered in Wisconsin, TRC offers exceptional experience-based education opportunities.
