"Field school was one of the greatest and most informative courses that I have taken at X.”

This is a field course...

Sadly, we cannot accommodate people with mobility issues; you needn’t be athletic, but we do a fair amount of walking.

You never knew how charismatic clams could really be!

You will not want to part with those waders!

Entomology, both on land and in water, is the focus of this component.

You have no idea at the sheer joy you will experience after catching the right bug!

Saturday is exam day, and wind-down day! Sunday is off.

…and dessert.

We use simple technology…

And advanced technology like motion sensitive cameras.
