Wildlands Studies

Wildlands Studies (www.wildlandsstudies.com) field programs provide undergraduate students with the opportunity to join backcountry study teams as working field associates, studying environmental impact assessment, environmental policy, geologic, climatic and topographic factors that support various habitats, and the relationships between environments and culture.  Participants are undergraduates who join us on site from all over North America and Canada.  Each program grants 5-15 upper division academic credit that transfers to the students’ home institution.  Project teams consist of 8-16 participants working with a course instructor who provides onsite instruction and directs all field study activities.
