Cayo Scoop! The Ecology of Cayo Culture

The Mesoamerican Society for Biology and Conservation is teaming up with UB, to have this year's NRM Symposium.  It's next Wednesday at the George Price Center.  The theme this year is 'Balancing ecological and social systems for sustainable trans-boundary resource management.'

"The count down to the annual Natural Resource Management (NRM) symposium is on... This year we have attracted a team from Duke University's Nicholas School of Environment who will be presenting on Blue Carbon.  You don't want to miss this one. Talented professional, researchers and works from across Belize and abroad."

Sacred Heart Junior College students are making good progress with the Big Rock Trail improvement.  They are half way through their 10 nights there.  Check out the pictures so far at https://www.facebook.com/groups/549155755177741/

"The Big Rock Trail Improvement Project is underway. 8 SHJC NRM students, 6 SHJC volunteers, 4 trail builders from New York and team leader Chad Burrow braved rain and cool weather this weekend kicking off the project.  They'll work and camp in Belize's Mountain Pine Ridge for 10 nights volunteering their time to make one of Belize's premier destinations safer and more accessible. Belize Trails, Blancaneaux Lodge, the Cayo Tour Guides Association and SHJC's NRM department are proud sponsors of this outstanding effort!"
