<blockquote type="cite" cite>Do your students have an interest in
community-based conservation, ecology and environmental issues?
Northwest Connections'<i> Landscape and Livelihood Field Semester</i>
is accepting applications through March 26th.</blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font size="-1">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.</font></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite> </blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>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.</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite> </blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>We accept 10-12 motivated undergraduate
students interested in community-based conservation. Check our website
for further information and an application:<u>
