Message from Dr. Carol Chambers:

"Hi,

The revamped workshop we are offering is the same workshop we held as a 2-week course in Flagstaff in the past.

We now offer the workshop as a 6-week on-line portion followed by a 1-week session in Flagstaff.

The on-line portion will provide concepts and discussion of topics such as ecological processes, conservation biology, wildlife policy issues, problem areas (e.g., invasive species) and examples of projects (e.g.,, how to make a project appeal-proof) - all related to wildlife conservation and management. The on-line portion will be conducted over a 6 weeks period giving people plenty of time to complete course work. We expect it to also involve discussions with experts in the field (as it did in the past.) The on-line portion would not be static, but would engage participants in hands-on learning, discussions on-line with other biologists in the course from all regions of the FS, and instructors who are FS employees or have expertise in the topic.

The on-site portion in Flagstaff will include discussion and field trips synthesizing knowledge from the on-line portion and (of course) see some of the incredible wildlife and sights of Arizona which might include California condors, the Grand Canyon, herpetofauna - for example, a unique species of rattlesnake facing habitat fragmentation by road construction.

I am very excited about the workshop and we think that having the workshop offered as a blend of on-line and on-site allows us to get to know our participants while making it easier on the participants by only being away from work 1 week.

Thanks for your interest, and if you have more questions, please contact me.

Carol"
