This seminar-style course offers an overview of environmental education, integrating both social and biological approaches to understanding and teaching about the environment. The seminar focuses on preparing students for teaching about the environment at the high school level. We will use case studies of Dahomey National Wildlife Refuge and the Mississippi River to illustrate themes and topics. Themes include wetlands habitat, migration, endangered species, public and private approaches to conservation, national wildlife refuges and conserving wildlife in an agricultural landscape.

Students will have an opportunity to work towards certification as an Audubon Master Naturalist through participating in this course.
