     In support of field biologists, researchers, field naturalists,
faculty members, and students with interests in the natural history
sciences, Eagle Hill offers specialty seminars at different
ecological scales for those who are interested in understanding
complex natural history questions. Seminars range from watershed
level subjects, and subjects in classical ecology, to highly
specialized seminars in advanced biology, taxonomy, and ecological
restoration.
     In support of scientific illustrators and artists, Eagle Hill
offers a diverse range of workshops focusing on natural history art.
     Eagle Hill has long been recognized as offering hard-to-find
seminars and workshops which provide important opportunities for
training and meeting others who are likewise dedicated to continually
learning more about natural history.
     Eagle Hill field seminars and workshops are of special interest
because they focus on the natural history of one of North America's
most spectacular and pristine natural areas, the coast of eastern
Maine from Acadia National Park to Petit Manan National Wildlife
Refuge and beyond. Most seminars combine field studies with follow-up
lab studies and a review of the literature. Additional information is
provided in lectures, slide presentations, and discussions. Seminars
are primarily taught for people who already  have a reasonable
background in a seminar program or in related subjects, or who are
keenly interested in learning about a new subject.
