Summer in the Field day camp is still taking applications…

Are you interested in the outdoors?  Do you want to recognize a monarch butterfly when you see it, to know how to tell different birds apart, or to learn to use a GPS?  Would you like to help with important environmental research?

If so, A Summer in the Field may be just what you’ve been looking for.  Join us for fun and learning as we carry out research on Smokey House Center’s 5,000 acres of forest and farmland.

Join other students from around the area this summer as you conduct real research including amphibian, bird, and macroinvertebrate studies.  We may also study butterflies, mammals, and more.  The camp will run for two, 3-week sessions from June 29 through August 16, and is open to young people ages 11 to 14.  See Youth: Field Studies Program for more information and an application form.
