Pitzer College FCRE/CR page

This page includes links to the Study abroad in Costa Rica program from Pitzer College.  HERE 

Of particular interest is the link to the history of the area by long-time conservationist Jack Ewing, which is well worth reading.  HERE

See some publications

Although the FCRE is not terribly old, and in fact only works with undergraduate students (and faculty), there are still several interesting publications that have come out from the field station or are of general interest.  See a shortLIST OF PUBS.

Also available for purchase on the internet through Blurb! is the FCRE critters book.  More on this including the first 15 pages or so can be found at:  www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/558964

The Photo Galleries

The photo galleries for the FCRE include places, projects and lots of animals.  Not tapirs and jaguars, but mostly smaller, interesting, and often beautiful things like the frogs and insects.
