Strategic Value

This long and large property is the nexus of three river valleys. It starts at the cloud-forested peaks of the coastal mountain range and then drops over 1,000 feet into a low pass in the mountains, before rising up another 700 feet in elevation. It is named in honor of the tayra, which was captured on a camera trap video on this property. The tayra is one of the most intriguing mammals in this ecosystem—a carnivorous weasel with a sleek and powerful body and tan-colored head.
