The landscape of the American West is stunning and diverse but has changed dramatically over the eons.  This course, Ecology of the American West from Ice and Fire to Bison and Cattle,  will explore these changes, study flora and fauna, learn regional history, examine regional conservation efforts and ongoing conflicts between man and nature.  You will study the ecology of the region by making daily excursions to nearby sites in Centennial Valley as well as Yellowstone National Park and Lewis and Clark’s Camp Fortunate.  Additional opportunities such as horseback riding, hiking, canoeing, and bird watching will be available. Lodging and meals are provided.

What could be more conducive to story-telling than being immersed in a dramatic western landscape and staying in a beautifully restored ghost town?  On this travel study program, you’ll have the opportunity to visit Centennial Valley of Montana, adjacent to Yellowstone National Park.  There you’ll participate in outdoor activities such as hiking, bird-watching, horseback riding, and more, in addition to writing and sharing your own original stories.  This program will provide a unique chance for you to work on your skills while experiencing the stunning scenery of the northern Rocky Mountains.
