Upcoming Site Visits

COSTA RICA: mAY 15-19, 2023

SFS has operated its Center for Sustainable Development Studies in Costa Rica for nearly 30 years. However, as the communities and environmental complexities of the region evolve, so must SFS Costa Rica. Beginning Fall 2023, SFS Costa Rica will become The Center for Ecological Resilience Studies. The site visit will showcase these exciting updates through a series of field excursions and disciplinary talks that examine ecological, social, and economic resilience in the Costa Rican context. The visit will take place the week of May 15-19, though travel on the bookended weekends will be required. Please submit a Site Visit Application by January 15. Academic themes will include: - Ecological resilience of flora and fauna to climate change - Food security initiatives and social resilience - Biodiversity at various elevational gradients - Community conservation efforts - Importance of forest fragments for ecosystem services and biodiversity protection (I.e., mammal diversity) Field Excursions will likely include: - Overnight in the tropical lowland rainforest of Manú - Night walk to discover bats, frogs, other critters, and bioluminescent fungi - Hummingbird mist netting, bird watching, and rainforest hikes - Ecological services on regenerative agroecological farms at different elevations - Cloud forests of San Ramón - Municipal forest and camera trapping demonstration A $500 participation fee includes accommodations, site-visit activities, local transportation, and most meals. Site visitors are responsible for expenses related to international travel, immunizations, and personal spending. To be considered, please submit a Site Visit Application by January 15. Please direct any questions to sitevisit@fieldstudies.org. We look forward to welcoming you to Costa Rica!

experience SFS firsthand!

SFS site visits are an excellent opportunity to learn more about our programs. We typically offer one to two group visits a year and each visit includes an overview of the Center's programs and research focus. Guests will meet our Center staff including the Center Director, faculty team, and support staff, and will head into the field to see key field sites used during the programs. Site visits are open to individuals who advise students for SFS programs which may include study abroad staff, academic advisors, and/or faculty members. If you or one of your colleagues will be in-country and would like to arrange an individual site visit to an SFS Center, please reach out to sitevisit@fieldstudies.org for all inquiries.
