At Wildlands Studies, Earth Day is every day.

We celebrate the Earth by immersing ourselves in it—bringing students face to face with some of the planet’s most dynamic and diverse environments.

Through hands-on research, exploration, and community engagement, our programs offer students the chance to better understand the complexity of biodiversity and the urgent challenges our planet faces. In doing so, we learn not just how to protect these places—but why they matter.

As we mark Earth Day this year, we also honor the memory of our founder, Crandall Bay, who passed away last year. His words continue to guide our work and inspire generations of students:

“We love our wildlands. Wherever we go, we strive seriously to minimize our impact on the land. We believe that to know its beauty and feel its inner music is a human need, a need important to our hearts as well as our heritage.”

Thank you to our students and alumni for making our work in field research, conservation, and environmental education so meaningful.

If you’re a prospective student, we still have a few spots remaining on our summer programs in French Polynesia, Australia, and Alaska. Fall programs in Thailand, Japan, and Nepal are filling quickly as well.
