[Update] Gravity fed spring water sediment filter and reservoir

This is an update to a previous post with the same title.

Updated the design for the system with the inputs I received from the community. I have yet to build it, the old one is still working with some minor problems. Access to the property by vehicle will be a reality hopefully in the next few months. Then, I will be able to bring the tank and long hdpe poly pipes up closer instead of having to haul them on foot with a wheelbarrow.

Free monthly webinars on restoration ecology by CTRS

Every month the Center for Tropical Restoration Science (CTRS) hosts a free webinar with expert speakers on a subject related to conservation and/or restoration ecology. These virtual sessions are aimed at restoration practitioners, students and likeminded individuals who are looking to deepen their expertise and knowledge in restoration science as well as share their experiences and local knowledge with others.

CTRS is based in Costa Rica and is a project by the Organization for Tropical Studies (OTS). CTRS serves the tropics worldwide.

Webinars are held both in Spanish and English.

The next webinar will be held on May 27th, 2026 at 10am CST and will be in Spanish. The topic is science communication strategies to engage audiences and drive research toward impactful outcomes.
