>A Field Semester in Montana
>August 30- October 27, 2004
>
>Do your students have an interest in community-based conservation, 
>ecology and environmental issues?  Northwest Connections' Landscape 
>and Livelihood Field Semester is accepting applications through 
>March 26th.
>
>Our Landscape and Livelihood residential program operates seven days 
>per week, creating time for classroom lecture, field work, reading, 
>reflective writing, independent exploration and involvement in 
>community activities.  Through a cooperative agreement with the 
>University of Montana, fifteen semester credits are earned in five 
>separate courses through the College of Forestry and Conservation, 
>Environmental Studies, General Science, and Recreation Management.
>
>Base camp for the semester is a historic homestead on the Swan 
>River, south of Glacier National Park.  >From there, students travel 
>throughout the Swan, Blackfoot and Flathead Valleys and the Swan and 
>Mission Mountains. Several brief homestays with local host families, 
>a unique component of our program, connect students more intimately 
>with the community and help put a human face on resource management 
>issues.
>
>We accept 10-12 motivated undergraduate students interested in 
>community-based conservation. Check our website for further 
>information and an application: http://www.northwestconnections.org/
