[ECOLOG-L] 2 week wildlife field course, May 13-26 2018

[McDonald, John E.]

The Northeast Section of  The Wildlife Society, in cooperation with Castleton 
University and the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife, will be hosting our 
10th annual 2-week Wildlife Field Course in Castleton, Vermont, May 13-26, 2018.

Please visit the course website for details and application materials:   
http://wildlife.org/ne-section/about/student-field-course/

The course fee is $950 and includes 3 undergraduate or graduate credits through 
Castleton University and room and board for the 2 weeks.  The course is housed 
at the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department's Edward Kehoe Conservation Camp 
near Castleton with much field work on the nearby Bird Mountain Wildlife 
Management Area.  The course emphasizes hands-on experience with basic field 
techniques (small mammal trapping, bird point counts, habitat sampling, 
radiotelemetry, etc.) and small group work organized around the theme of 
conducting a biological inventory.   We also provide hunter education training 
and certification in Project Wild. The course is led by practicing wildlife 
biologists and ecologists who volunteer their time to serve as instructors 
providing great networking opportunities and career perspectives during evening 
discussion sessions.  We usually have 20+ guest instructors from various state 
and federal agencies, consulting firms, and universities.  The 
November/December 2017  issue of The Wildlife Professional (www.wildlife.org) 
has a short article on the course if you have access to it.

Enrollment is capped at 20 students, don't get stuck on the waiting list, sign 
up soon.   Please do not reply to this email with questions but contact me at:
