Description
In this field based course, students learn resource needs and habitat associations for three managed game species (white-tailed deer, eastern turkey, and ruffed grouse), and use online mapping and remote sensing products to locate forest type/age and landscape features for possible habitat locations. Students plan excursions to explore sites on public land to observe habitat use and wildlife sign. Basic navigation skills and winter overland travel skills will also be covered; ability to navigate through the woods on snowshoes is required. This course will meet for 2 hours weekly for 4 weeks plus one 8 hour field day on a weekend. Course Fee $25
