SRF: 2007- COSTA RICA TRIP

2 TRIPS IN 2007 SET A NEW MARK OF EXCELLENCE FOR SRF

I am extremely pleased to report that the SRF successfully undertook two rainforest expeditions during the summer of 2007. This is the first time in
our 13 year history that we accomplished two trips in one year. In addition to the trip to Ecuador in early June, we also visited Costa Rica from August
24-September 2.

We were very pleased to have students attend from the two leading naturopathic colleges in America- Southwest and Bastyr. The team stayed four days at
the enchanting medicinal gardens at Luna Nueva in the shadow of the famous Arenal volcano. Luna Nueva’s organic ginger and turmeric estate is owned and
operated by the American supplement company New Chapter. I have personally been to over a dozen rainforest medicinal gardens in my many trips to South
and Central America, and surely this is the best one I have ever seen. The students heard lectures from VP Dr. Steve Morris, Dr. Heidi Weinhold, and myself. Our
side trips took us to the famous Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, a new preserve called Nectandra located about 80 km Northwest of San Jose, and the
Palo Verde, a natural biological reserve owned by the Organization for Tropical Studies.

We’re already planning the 2008 expedition to the Peruvian Amazon. This will be an extended 10-day trip to Cusco and the Inkatera Natural Reserve. Please
contact me if you are interested in registering early, we only can take 21 students! (412) 486-4588 or email: dtwherb@yahoo.com
