Acerca de

Cloudbridge is a private nature reserve in Costa Rica. It was created to preserve and reforest an important gap in the cloud forest adjoining the Chirripo National Park, on the slopes of Mt. Chirripo, the highest peak in Costa Rica.

The main purpose of the reserve is to help rebuild a part of the tropical cloud forest, bridging a gap between two mountainside forests. As well as protecting the existing forest and allowing natural regrowth, we are planting a mix of native trees, thousands of them, to turn pasture back into forest.

The local community's participation in the project is an integral aspect, and the reserve includes a project of sustainable reforestation for future harvesting.

Cloudbridge welcomes volunteers and interns to assist with scientific research, tree planting, and trail maintenance.

There are three ways you can volunteer or do research at Cloudbridge:

Research intern: Contribute to one of Cloudbridge’s ongoing research projects (according to availability), or design your own project and methodology with guidance from the science staff.
Independent researcher: Propose and conduct your own research (no guidance needed).
Volunteer: Help the reserve in a variety of ways, according to our needs, and your abilities and interests. This may include planting trees, trail or reserve maintenance, construction projects or assisting tourists.
