The Science of Ecosystems program engages you for a full seven-day week. We start most days with a brief orientation talk and then continue with an interactive field trip to a specific, carefully selected locality. In addition each day will include discussion and practice of several lesson plan activities. Two days are FREE DAYS an d have no scheduled educational activities so that participants can relax and explore on their own. (Day 3 and Day 6). A courtesy luau is provided for the evening of Day 6.
