ENVS 200: Field Ecology

In this course, students gain practical field and lab skills through different activities each week. This includes identifying trees, understanding birds as indicator species, planting trees and determining survival rates, assessing stream health, forest succession, and how climate change impacts on our groundwater recharge areas.
