HI
I was on the same tour last year led by Craig Thompson. Joe Henry was also
on the trip. I had a great time and if anyone has questions on the trip
they could email me. We had excellent local guides and saw a wide variety
of wildlife.

Trip to Costa Rica’s, Osa Peninsula
Are you interested in exploring one of the wildest and most diverse places
in Central America? The Osa Peninsula is home to one of only four
tropical fjords on the planet, the most significant wetland ecosystem and
mangrove forests of Central America, the largest remaining tract of lowland
rainforest in Pacific Mesoamerica, 2-3% of Earth’s flora found nowhere else
in the world, 323 endemic species of plants and vertebrates, the largest
population of scarlet macaws in Central America, more than 4,000 vascular
plants, more than 10,000 insects, more than 700 tree species, 463 species
of birds, 140 mammals including 25 species of dolphins and the only place
on the globe where northern and southern populations of humpback whales
meet.
The Osa is also an extremely important place for protecting wintering
habitat for Wisconsin’s neotropical migrant birds. More than 55 species of
“our” local Wisconsin migrants call the Osa home for six months of the
year. Organizations like The Nature Conservancy, the Natural Resources of
Wisconsin, the Wisconsin DNR, WBCI, and people like you who care about
pristine places are working with Osa Conservation (Costa Rican nonprofit
organization) to protect wintering habitat on the Osa because it is the
best and last remaining place in Central America where large blocks of
tropical rainforest can still be protected. Want to visit the Osa
Peninsula in person? Contact Joe Henry, DNR Ecologist at 920-504-4114 or
at jhenry1174@xxxxxxxxx and he will explain how. Don’t miss this unique
opportunity to see firsthand this wild and untamed land.
Trip Dates: February 9th to 14th
First Payment: September 1 - $500 nonrefundable down payment
Final Payment: November 1 - $1200
Conservation Donation: $500 tax deductible donation to Osa Conservation
Airfare: $500-600 roundtrip ticket (per person)
Call or email Joe, not me please.
