Part one is being held July 2017 and will investigate conservation efforts in the upper coastal plain through birding in the Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge, canoeing the Bond Swamp, mist netting bats at Oconee National Forest and exploring bogs at Ohoopee dunes. We will also spend time discussing basic conservation biology concept and field techniques that can be used with students in and out of the classroom.
