COURSE AIMS
This lab provides direct experience with a variety of vertebrates in the field. The aim is to learn about the study and conservation of living vertebrates in natural circumstances.
This lab also provides a chance to experience two world-class vertebrate spectacles, the salamanders of the southern Appalachians and the migratory waterfowl of coastal North Carolina.
WEEKEND FIELD TRIPS
This lab offers two weekend field trips -- one in mid-September and one in mid-November. Students must plan ahead to fit these trips into their schedules.
Transportation for these trips is provided by Biology Department vehicles.
The costs of rooms and most meals are shared by the participants (in recent years not more than $90 per person for the two week-ends combined).
LIMITATIONS ON ENROLLMENT
Enrollment is limited to two sections of 15
students each, so everyone can see (and hold) the animals.
