The Bijagual Center for Environmental Education and Conservation (BCEEC) owns and operates the
Bijagual Ecological Reserve (BER) in Sarapiquí, Costa Rica. In order to assist the BER to engage
community members in reforestation efforts as well as monitor the outcomes of these efforts, this
report summarizes environmental attitudes and interests in the region, provides geospatial analysis to
support the BER in identifying land use patterns and areas to target for reforestation and provides
materials for a water quality monitoring program and educational interpretive signage system. The body
of the report is divided into four sections: social research, geospatial analysis, stream sampling/water
quality monitoring, and signage. Each of these four sections include an introduction, methods, results
and recommendations as appropriate.Master of Science & Master of Landscape ArchitectureSchool for Environment and SustainabilityUniversity of Michiganhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/143170/1/Bijagual_River_Watershed_317.pd
