The Ecology of the Great Smoky Mountains

A study of the unique features that have make The Great Smoky Mountains one of the most diverse temperate regions on earth. We study the complex ecological interactions that have shaped this unique area and how the Smokies have influenced even the Ashland area. There are two weeks of on- campus classroom preparations, then one week of study in The Smokies and a final class session after returning. Not currently in the standard rotation.
