One of our immediate goals over
three years ago was to not only bring plant life back to the land, but animals, too.
Paul was treated to our newest inhabitant at TropicRiverWoods...a toucanet known as a
collared araçari (pronounced ar a sar i) or, in spanish, Arasarí Acollarado
(Pteroglossus torquatus).

What follows, is a photographic record of
Paul's March 2006 TropicRiverWoods project findings. So welcome to the continuing progession of a
world-class botanical garden |
The
pathways are beginning to really take shape and add an additional permanence to
TropicRiverWoods Arboretum. |

Here are pictures
of the growth that has occured since the inception of TropicRiverWoods. Remember,
most of the plants were started from seed less than two years ago! |

This
is the first of several Bohios (indian thatch-roof huts) being built on TropicRiverWoods |
|
|
|
The newest section of
TropicRiverWoods being reforested is the Pine Barrens with hearty Pinus caribaea
seedlings! |

Our next regularly scheduled Loma Finca
Cuatro TropicRiverWoods, S.A. update will be in late June, 2006 during which Paul and
Brad will continue to preserve this special parcel of land.
Paul and Brad, Your
Hosts!
