Teaching in Conservation & Wildlife Ecology!
Guest Lecture to FWCB 370 class by
Bennett Hardy, Graduate Student at CSU
Colorado State University (Spring 2019)
Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology
Course:
Design of Fish and Wildlife Projects
Together in this class we learn how to conduct research in fish, wildlife, and conservation biology from the ground up. Through lectures, labs, discussions, and group projects, students learn how to 1) ask ecological questions that apply to management and conservation issues, 2) understand and apply the scientific method to their questions, 3) design an experimental study, 4) collect and analyze data, and 5) present their work orally and visually through poster presentations and in writing via research proposals.

Siegele Conservation Science Internship Program
Colorado Natural Heritage Program
Students receive professional training and gain experience in applied conservation science that is relevant to biodiversity conservation.Examples of skills gained include: plant identification, vegetation sampling, field survey techniques, monitoring protocols, data collection of biotic and abiotic factors, route finding, mapping, use of GPS and GIS, managing and analyzing biological data, and describing conservation values. All interns receive an orientation to the history, methods, and mission of the CNHP and the NatureServe Network of Heritage Programs; participate in one or more Bioblitzes in remote locations in Colorado; have an opportunity to explore potential career paths; and accomplish meaningful, Colorado-based conservation work. The internship provides excellent opportunities to work with professional biologists and conservation practitioners, and to gain extensive experience with many aspects of field sciences that support career development in environmental conservation.
