Ecology & Wildlife
See nature up close. Participate in a variety of multi-day workshops and academic field-courses on the fundamentals of animal tracking, the science of seaweed, and so much more. If you are already visiting in the region, have a look at the Events happening while you’re here. New courses and programs are being added weekly so check back often. For customized learning experiences for you or your group, please contact our Education Coordinator.
