<br>
WILD ROCKIES FIELD INSTITUTE is offering a two-month, field-based
course, "Canyonlands of the Colorado Plateau", March 23-May
21 in the stunning canyonlands of southern Utah!<br>
<br>
During this nine-week course students will intensively study desert
ecology, natural history, land use history, wilderness ethics, Native
American history and philosophy, geography, and current environmental
issues pertinent to the Colorado Plateau. Most of the course will take
place during wilderness travel on extended backpacking trips, taking
us into some of the most remote canyons in the region. We will also
kayak through Labyrinth Canyon and drive across the Four Corner's
region to meet local leaders, activists and residents. We will journey
through the slickrock canyonlands of the Colorado Plateau exploring
the red sandstone heart of southern Utah. This is a fabulous
opportunity for intellectual self-exploration and to learn in the
field, directly from the landscape and the myriad communities of
people who live there.<br>
