La Florida,
Costa Rica
The Coconut Grove...The Heart of True Nature
 The True Nature Community has been in existence since 2004. True Nature is currently going through a transitional phase. We are looking for a new group of committed individuals who are interested in taking over ownership and stewardship of the land and the community.
During this transition period we are also looking for independent and dedicated landstewards and homesteaders that are interested in staying and working in the community.
Thank you for your support and understanding.
If you are interested please contact us.(joshua@truenaturecommunity.org or hobe2001@yahoo.com)
