2-4 January 2007

An update of our project:

The sustainable agriculture team has collected copious data on plants, crop activities and has done some extensive geographic marking of the Yachana Colegia site. It is 250m wide, 2000 m long south of the river and roughly rectangular in shape. The low land, approximately the first 400m south of the river is where almost all crops are grown. It floods in the summer to a depth of 2-3 meters. The highland is about 100m higher, and mostly primary and secondary growth rain forest. Lumber is harvested in the highland for construction in the colegia.
