Maya Mountain Research Farm
http://www.mmrfbz.org/
Location -- Maya
Mountain Research Farm is fairly remote. We are two miles up river
from the predominantly Kek'chi Mayan village of San Pedro Columbia,
in Belize's southernmost district of Toledo.
One border of MMRF is the
river called the Columbia Branch of the Rio Grande, the other side of
which is the Columbia Indian Reservation. We are about a mile and a
half's walk on rugged trails from the ancient Mayan ruins of
Lubaantun. The river emerges from the ground 1/4 mile up river from
us, and the drainage for this watershed begins in the Columbia River
Forest Reserve, a 100,000 acre, unique, fairly pristine natural area
of broadleaf forest.
We are in a wonderful
location, on the one hand connected to the village by the river that
is the local highway, and on the other hand in close proximity to high
bush in the Columbia River Forest Reserve.
