Field Trips

Field trips to the Ranch have become an integral part of several courses, which utilize the wide ranging natural resource areas on the Ranch.

Students visit the ranch annualy or bi-annualy as part of their coursework. Students are required to complete outdoor lab exercises, utilizing the Ranch's related resources.

Pictured on the right, a group of FNR 420 students pose on the steps of the Al Smith house. On the left, FNR 315 students gather forest stand information for use in a class report.

Field trips provide students the opportunity to apply what they've learned in class, get hands-on experience with technical equipment, and meet and interact with resource professionals. The Ranch provides the unique setting.

Please schedule field trips with the Ranch.
