The Marine Biology Club (MBC) at North Collins Central School is advised by Mrs. Lisa Brosnick. The Club visits a unique ecosystem each year and has chosen the Costa Rica for 2019. This is the club's first trip to Costa Rica. The group choose this location as a contrast to the Caribbean Ecosystems previously visited as well as the several different ecosystems that can be studied within one location.

Last Day in the Rainforest
Hello! It's Noah and Tony here doing the blog today. We started off the day by packing all our stuff at La Leona Lodge and bringing it down to breakfast at around 7 o'clock am. We then had our last meal at La Leona, which consisted of eggs, fruit, and rice. We then enjoyed the coast side view before we left for the hike back to base camp. We saw many interesting things which included toucans, spiders, and we even ate termites for the first time. After a long hike, we then stopped at the Beach before Base Camp. There we got fresh coconuts from the people working there. A few of us went down to the beach, taking in the water to try to cool off. We then ate a lunch of sandwiches, Coke, juice, and crackers. Then, our taxis arrived to take us to the Puerto Jimenez airport. After a quick stop at base camp to pick up our luggage, we then began the 2 hour journey back the city. This ride known as "Pepe's Last Stand", due to the numerous times we stopped to see cool and interesting animals which we had not seen before. This included a black and white owl, sloths, a crocodile, and the last species of monkeys we have not seen, squirrel monkeys. We then made a quick stop, in which we witnessed two wild iguanas fighting.
