The main purpose of the maintenance program staff is to care for all of the sectors of the BEN that are open to the public. This includes trail, road, sign, and infrastructure maintenance. The maintenance staff also works to keep property boarders clearly marked, as well as fences in good condition. They also contribute to our protection program, environmental education, and special hikes organized for tourists and other groups.
Other responsibilities include verifying property limits, serving as resources for legal cases, serving as representatives for environmental service payments, and aiding with projects related to the Arenal-Tempisque Conservation Area (ACA-T) managed by the national government of Costa Rica.
