Ecosystem Field Studies would like to wish you a Happy Earth Day!   At EcoFS we promote students' understanding of the science of our incredible Earth ecosystem. Through our experiential field courses students are also empowered to be responsible stewards of it. For example, on our upcoming summer EcoFS courses students will learn: tools to assess the health of the Caribbean coral reef and the Rocky Mountain forest ecosystems.  methods in wildlife species conservation and management. skills for measuring ecosystem processes that shape the Earth. techniques for ecological restoration efforts. the role of science in protecting natural ecosystems.
