John Vogel presents to our guests at San Jose. Note that the land on the right hasn't been
cleared for the bamboo, it has been mismanaged and as a result huge gaps are created that
need repairing and healing.

Respect and regard for the environment and its inhabitants remains a key priority and here we are relocating some baby
