BIOL 241 : FIELD BIOLOGY

Field Biology is a course in observation, and you will be expected to use your powers of observation to the fullest as we explore various habitats across western Virginia. In the field we will encounter many different organisms—from mosses, wildflowers, and trees to insects, birds, and salamanders— and take a glimpse into the lives of each. In this course you will have the opportunity to explore various elements of ecology, botany, entomology, and other fields, while practicing some associated collecting and identification techniques hands on. This 200-level version of Field Biology is intended for Biology or Environmental Biology majors.
