The Ecological Society of America’s SEEDS (Strategies for Ecology Education, Diversity, and Sustainability) program is pleased to announce the upcoming Fall 2009 Field Trip. Student Field Trips meet the SEEDS mission by providing exciting opportunities for underrepresented undergraduate students to explore their interest in ecology. Field trips allow students to spend four to seven days at an ecologically significant site, such as a field station, research laboratory, or national park, learning about the science of ecology, exploring career options, and seeing the practical applications of ecology.
The 2009 SEEDS Fall Field Trip will take place from September 17-20 at the Mountain Lake Biological Station in Virginia. All expenses are covered by SEEDS. This field trip provides a unique opportunity for students to learn from, and perhaps contribute to, scientific research programs taking place at the research station. For more information about SEEDS field trips and to apply for the Fall 2009 field trip, please visit us online at http://www.esa.org/seeds/fieldtrips/. All applications for this field trip must be received by midnight on May 1, 2009. Please contact Erin Vinson at e...@esa.org or 202-833-8773 with any questions.
