Anthropology 101 — Human Ecology I
Help tribes, governments, and non-profits make fishing, farming, and forestry more sustainable while studying relationships between people and ecosystems. Carpool to and from field sites. This is part of the Learn and Serve Environmental Anthropology Field (LEAF) School.
Past LEAF school projects include studies and service projects on Whidbey and Jetty islands as well as the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) trail project in Moran State Park on Orcas Island. Students helped rebuild the trails and studied the history of national service programs, while camping in and upgrading facilities created by the CCC.
