VCSU @ Yellowstone, June 2014
Explorations of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem with Dr. Gary Ketterling. This is a field experience in which participants explored the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and its many stakeholders. Ecological concepts such as trophic cascade, predator-prey interactions, wolf reintroduction, food webs, inter and intra species interactions, climate change, and human impact were discussed. Participants had an opportunity to visit with researchers, talk to advocates for bison, ranchers, investigate the National Yellowstone Archives, and time for pictures and film for their classrooms.
