Course description

Students in Field Biology will learn concepts about ecology through outdoor activities and an exploration of a variety of ecosystems. Students will work with field biologists from the DNR, University of Wisconsin and conservation organizations while exploring and taking part in field research. The majority of class periods will be spent in the field (outdoors) with biologists studying topics and issues related to wildlife, forestry, grasslands and stream ecology. Active participation in field experiences will be critical as course assessments will be tied directly to field experiences.
