This field studies program is designed for either undergraduate
students or professionals who wish to study community-based forestry and
natural resources in a region that's working to manage its forests,
grasslands, rivers and ecosystems in a sustainable manner. Instructors
will include resource and conservation professionals, community leaders,
land managers, and scientists. Students will live in Wallowa County and
interact with community residents.
A focus of this course, educators say, will be to explore how
both economic and ecological goals can be balanced, and real-world
problems and issues dealt with.
Registration has begun and more information on the program is now
available by contacting OSU Extended Campus, the university's award
winning program of extended education, at 800-235-6559.
