Goals and Objectives
 The
overall goal of the summer field program is to serve as an introduction
to natural resource management as a field of scientific and professional
work. Students in the program study the ecology of the Sierra Nevada, apply
environmental monitoring and measurement techniques, and explore first-hand
the management of forests, watersheds, and firesheds. By participating in
the program students acquire a broad working knowledge of the concepts and
techniques which foresters, land managers and environmental scientists use
in their work. Studying these subjects in a field setting is the best way
to learn about the ecology and management of forest and grassland ecosystems.
