    Emily Absalom of Bangor, currently asophomore at WilkesUniversity, recently

    returned from theGuanacaste region of Costa Rica, where sheand eight other studentscompleted requirementsfor an internationalservice learning courseentitled EcotourismDevelopment in CostaRica. Ecotourism high-lights responsible travelto natural areas thatconserves the environ-ment and improves thewell-being of local

    people. Led by WilkesAssociate Professor Dr.Andy Miller, the politi-

    cal science class exam-ined the public policyand economic aspects of ecotourism. Thestudents then assistedthree communities in

    Northwestern CostaRica in boosting their ecotourism economies.In the city of Liberia,

    the students workedwith the GuanacasteMuseum, assisting increating content for itsmedia presence anddeveloping marketingmaterials for touristsand prospective

    museum visitors. Theyalso worked with a fine

    arts public high schooland other non-profitentities. In the small

    beach town of Playa delCoco, the studentsworked planting trees ona farm to reduce water run-off, and participat-ing in ecotourism activi-ties, such as snorkelingthrough coral reefs, andzip lining over the

    jungle canopy, andlearning about ocean

    and shark conservation.The students thentraveled to the remoteOstional WildlifeRefuge, which serves asa prime nesting place for as many as 300,000turtles per month duringthe rainy season. Thestudents worked withnaturalists, studying thenesting practices of the

    Olive Ridley turtle,taking measurements,

    counting eggs, andtagging fins.Absalom recounts,

    Studying ecotourism inCosta Rica allowed us tointimately experiencethe sheer beauty andscope of its natural wild-life and resources,including beaches,

    jungles, rivers, man-groves, hot springs,waterfalls. The countryis so beautiful anddiverse. She continues,An ecotourism journey

    by far has more respectfor the flora and fauna of

    a country than does amore wasteful masstourism trip, which veryoften degrades nature. Itis a sustainable type of tourism that engages

    both the tourist and thelocal people in preserv-ing the natural environ-ment and resources.The students learned

    first-hand how ecotour-ism can act as a sustain-able income source for local economies whileworking to encouragecommunity involvementin preserving CostaRicas natural beauty.More details on thestudents work can befound on their trip blog:http://wilkesincostarica.wordpress.com.

    Hello fellow readers,Janet of Belvidere asked

    if she should use watering bags known as Tree-gatorson her newly installed

    Cherry Trees. Her neighbors new trees aresporting the sack-likethingamajigs (did youknow that is a real word?)and encouraged Janet tofollow suit.

    It is true the sacks canserve a purpose for thosethat cant manage handwatering or dont have a

    professionally installedirrigation system. How-ever, the downside isusing the Tree-gator maycause overwatering if notused properly. Remember if your soil is too wet for too long or there is poor drainage you couldremove the oxygen withinthe soil needed for theroots which will eventu-ally kill a tree. Then of course theres the risk of root rot.

    Essentially the Tree-gator is a slow release watering

    bag that continuouslydrips water over 5 to 9hours with each fill. Themanufacturer says one

    application of water froma single Tree-gator willtypically provide enoughmoisture to last a newly

    planted 1 to 2 inch caliper tree for up to 7 days. Thenthey provide a nifty chartshowing you how toincrease applications or number of bags on eachtree depending on thecaliper of the tree. Caliper

    by the way is the width o f the trunk.

    But wait theres more!While Tree-gator recom-mends that their productcan reduce the need for watering to once a week,they offer the following

    disclaimer; Proper watering frequency canvary depending on severalfactors (tree and soil type,weather, etc.) and therecommendation will

    NOT guarantee that your tree is being watered

    properly. They add thatduring especially dryand/or hot periods of weather, these wateringschedules may need to beincreased. Conversely,during periods of rainfall /high moisture, a Tree-gator Bag should be filledless frequently.

    Phew talk about coveringyour bottom! Bottom lineyou cant rely on your thingamajig to do your thinking for you. But thedoohickey can be quitehandy! Garden [email protected]

    THE POPE ISCOMING!Today we'll focus on

    selling your property...and no, the Pope isn'tcoming. BUT, what if

    he were?When you want to sellyour home you should

    prepare it as if a veryimportant person wascoming because theyare...the prospectiveBuyer.I will briefly give you

    a few ideas as to how to prepare your home for sale.If you desire, you can

    find any number of websites that will give youinnumerable ideas as tospecifics..Basically start on the

    outside and make it as perfect as you can.Paint is cheap. A fewcomplimenting colorscan bring attention toyour home. Removingdebris is free.A few flowers and

    mulch are also verycheap.I know flowers don't

    grow in snow..but thegroundhog said winter is over.It is a fact, if the Buyer

    does not like the

    outside you may nothave a chance to showthem the inside.Prepare the inside by

    de-personalizing it. Youdon't want to distract a

    buyer with your personal artifacts.Part of depersonaliz-

    ing is to de-clutter your home. Now is the timeto go through the itemsand decide whether or not you will ever usethem.If not, donate i or get

    rid of them. Pack everything that youwant to keep but are notactively using and storethese items. Thisincludes excess furni-ture, clothing, kitchenitems, etc..

    Now that you havemade someroom...make it sparkle.Make the minor repairssuch as a leaky faucet,holes in the walls,

    broken tiles, etc. Makesure all of your light

    bulbs work, wash the

    windows, get the mustysmells out, and onceagain, paint.

    Window treatmentsare cheap and reallymake your home standout.

    When you are finishedgo outside andapproach your propertyas a buyer will. Whenyou enter do you get a

    positive picture?Follow up with this inevery room. Now you are ready toshow!

    There are really only

    two reasons a homedoes not sell. The firstis that it is priced toohigh.

    This is relative to themarket and condition.The second id that your Realtor simply isn't

    effective.So selling may be

    simpler than you

    think....price your homecorrectly and chose theright Realtor.

    A consideration for you is that interest ratesare going up....theywent up over 5% lastweek..rates havereceded to the mid 4'stoday.

    Every time the rategoes up your home

    becomes less affordableto a Buyer....and theconsensus is that theywill be going up...

    Feel free to call for any real estate related

    information and to buyor sell your home bycalling The GreatAmerican Real EstateCompany at 610-863-6205 or by e-mail [email protected].
