Wild Rockies Field Institute now accepting applications for its spring term field course,
“Colorado Plateau: Desert Canyons and Cultures”
A student from the 2012 Colorado Plateau course has this to say about his experience:
“Directly experiencing what we were learning made such a huge difference. It is one thing to read about or be lectured about a subject, but it is quite another to actually see and touch the geology, ecology, and culture of the Colorado Plateau.”
– James Mauch, Montana State University
