This project is the summation of three years’ effort and growth from 13 current and former @moreheadstate @News_MSU students and our team of field and research collaborators. I cannot congratulate them enough for their perseverance and continued delight in discovery!

Whilst our 5-day course offers a rewilding safari and in-depth sessions on aspects like carbon survey techniques, our 2-week course can offer this and provide comprehensive experiences such as observing Exmoor ponies and Purple Emperor butterflies, alongside specialized surveys!
