Field Station Donations

Completed Framing of the Lab

Your contributions to ITEC have helped build the Bocas del Toro Biological Station from the ground up.  Without you and your generosity we wouldn’t have been able to offer a place for students of all ages, nationalities and interests to research and learn about the broad array of the natural world.  In addition, we are building the next generation of natural scientists to help understand and protect the environment we all live in.  We hope you will join us by supporting our efforts to complete the construction of a comfortable and functional place to study and learn.

With the recent passing of Joe Maher, our longtime tree climbing and photography instructor, some friends have asked about making a donation in Joe’s memory. (Click here to see a memorial post.) We miss him and his crotchety wisdom every day.  We would be happy to accept any memorials in his name.  He was a great supporter of ITEC, which was his second home.  We think he would be happy to know that his friends feel the same way.
