Description:
Environmental
Career Skills is a 3-day immersion course hosted by Cornell's
Department of Natural Resources. The course takes place from August
15 - 18, 2006 at the Arnot Teaching and Research Forest, a semi-isolated,
wooded setting with woodland flora and fauna, streams, ponds,
and 100-year-old forest stands. Located 15 miles southwest of
Ithaca, NY, the Arnot provides ample opportunity to study the
methods and principles of conservation ecology, forestry, and
stream ecology, and to learn techniques for studying amphibians,
reptiles, birds and mammals. |
