• BIOL 2045: NATURAL HISTORY OF REGIONAL ECOSYSTEMS:

  1.00 Credits

  Central Wyoming College

  
  This course is offered in conjunction with the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS). It involves immersion in the ecosystem, adapting to the natural rhythms of the Earth, which teaches students about cycles and behavioral adaptations at a guttural level. Class work in regional biota and ecology will provide students with information that is easily integrated with the environmental ethics of land management and low impact camping. Field natural history and basic field ecology are key to exploration and minimization of human effects on ecosystems. When this course is part of the NOLS semester, it must be taken concurrently with EDUC 2050 and G&R 2050. On certain semesters it is also taken concurrently with HLED 2010. NOLS semesters are taught experientially, so climate, season, terrain, participants, specific course selection, and other factors generally support some outcomes more than others. When required, this course may be taught by CWC directly and not as a part of a NOLS semester. Prerequisite: NOLS or instructor's permission. (1-5 lect.)
