Field Station Natural History Workshops

2023

We do not have any workshops scheduled for 2023 at this time.

A Very High Quality of Instruction

Our workshops offer a unique opportunity to explore focused topics in natural history under the guidance of noted authorities. The workshops present college-level instruction and are designed to accommodate participants with a broad range of experience. The only prerequisite for any of the workshops is a keen interest in the topic. Enrollment in each session is limited to 20, providing an informal atmosphere and individualized instruction

Available for College Credit

Students may receive Undergraduate or Graduate credit for some of our workshops by enrolling in UWM, Biological Sciences, 562, Topics in Field Biology. For summer 2022, Field Herpetology, Introduction to Lichens, and Wildlife Inventory and Monitoring are available for credit.  There is an additional tuition fee to receive credit, and an additional online component that must be completed to receive college credit.
