The Jungle Look – The Birds and the Bees and the Kapok Tree by Chris Freeman

Event type: Meeting
Date: 16th October 2025
Time: 14:00 - 16:00
Venue: Todmorden Community College
Organiser:

A trip into the majestic Cloud and Rainforest Jungles of Costa Rica where there are ‘No-Added-Ingredients’, with the splendid, steaming, volcanic beauty of Mt Arenal Volcano, caught in a minor eruption; with Kapok, Balsa, Strangling Fig and Avocado trees, that rival any man-made skyscraper; full of monkeys, sloths, bats and birds and a million insects. With a brief, contrasting look at the Concrete Jungle of New York and Stamford where everything seems to be ‘plastic’ and it’s the people who are like insects.
