> organization located in Swan Valley, Montana dedicated to community-based
> conservation and education. We are currently accepting applications for our
> Landscape and Livelihood Field Semester to be held August 29-October 26, 2005.

> Please forward to any interested students.  Thank you!
> 
> Northwest Connections' Landscape and Livelihood Field Semester
> <http://www.northwestconnections.org/landscape.htm>  immerses a small group of
> students in an intense two-month field educational program focusing on ecology
> and community-based conservation.  The program offers 15 semester credits from
> the University of Montana.  Students learn experientially as they live and
> study the community and landscape of the glaciated Swan Valley and the rural
> human community it supports. Base camp for the semester is a historic
> homestead on the Swan River, nestled between two wilderness areas, 50 miles
> south of Glacier National Park.
> 
> Northwest Connections' instructional philosophy recognizes the value of
> learning outside the traditional academic realm.  Students are outdoors, in
> the field, every day of the semester. Students also work closely with rural
> citizens and land managers in order to understand the relationship between
> environmental issues and local communities.
> 
> Landscape and Livelihood's residential program operates seven days per week,
> creating time for classroom lecture, field work, reading, reflective writing,
> journaling, and involvement in community activities.  Fifteen semester credits
> are earned from the University of Montana in five separate courses through the
> College of Forestry and Conservation; and the Departments of Environmental
> Studies; General Science; and Recreation Management.
> 
> Check out the NwC website for further information and to find out how to
> apply: http://www.northwestconnections.org/landscape.htm
> <http://www.northwestconnections.org/landscape.htm> .  NwC has a 'rolling
> admissions' policy, however, priority status will be given to students
> applying before April 1, 2005.
