This five-day residential course is designed for college seniors, graduate
students, teachers and the general public. The course provides an overview
of the diversity of ecological communities that occurs within the 6 million
acre Adirondack Park and to investigate the common inhabitants of these
communities, both plant and animal. Participants gain knowledge of the biological
and behavioral characteristics that identify plants and animals common in
the Adirondacks. They are also exposed to methods used by researchers when
studying these organisms. The course emphasizes trees, herbaceous plants,
birds, mammals and amphibians of the northern forest. The course combines
lecture with field trips to convey knowledge of the natural history of important
