SUMMARY:CANCELED: Lichens Course Begins (June 29th - July 3rd)
DESCRIPTION:Biology & Conservation of Lichens June 29 – July 3 \nDr. Jessica Allen\, Atlanta Botanical Garden & Dr. James Lendemer\, New York Botanical Garden (download syllabus) \nLichens grow all over the world\, from the arctic to the tropics\, where they are important in a multitude of ways including serving as shelter for small invertebrates\, and food for animals from snails to caribou. In this course you will have a chance to learn about lichens in one of their centers of diversity\, the southern Appalachians. We will take field trips to a variety of habitats to explore the species and ecological diversity of lichens. Lab work will cover lichen chemistry\, morphology\, and identification. At the end of the course you will have a new perspective on the diversity\, evolution and ecology of lichens. \n* We will go on field trips to explore a variety of lichen communities characteristic of the southern Appalachians. Field trips will take place in natural areas up to 1.5 hours drive from HBS. Up to a total of 5 miles of hiking per day can be expected on days we go in the field. For all-day field trips you will need to pack a lunch. \nPrerequisites: General biology\, ecology\, basic understanding of evolution\, and prior experience with basic skills of microscopy is strongly recommended. \nClick here to apply.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Mammals Course Ends (15th-26th)
DESCRIPTION:Southern Appalachian Mammals: June 15 – 26 \nDr. Ed Pivorun\, Clemson University & Ms. Rada Petric UNC-Greensboro (download syllabus) \nThis mammals course will emphasize the mammalian fauna of the Southern Appalachians. We will have traditional lectures on mammalian anatomy\, evolution\, orders\, physiology and ecology for about 1 ½ hours every morning. Field work will emphasize live trapping techniques. Mammals tend to be nocturnal. Thus\, all traps will be set out in the late afternoon and will be checked early the next morning. These efforts will allow the student to become familiar with as many living local species of mammals as possible. The field work will examine the importance of specific habitats for the distribution and density of specific species. After a short break\, we will move into the lecture setting until noon. In the early afternoon\, after lunch\, we will spend another 1 ½- 2 hours to do some more of the traditional mammalogy labs on anatomy\, identification and keying. An interactive DVD/flash drive provided to each student contains high resolution images of the skulls of each species native to the Appalachian forests. This is an excellent study aid that is used in conjunction with the actual skulls and study skins of each species. \nPrerequisites: Introductory biology\, zoology\, or permission of the instructor. \nClick here to apply.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Fishes Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Fishes of the Tuckasegee with Jason Meador \nJune 16th\, 9:30 AM – 3:00 PM \nWestern North Carolina has the richest aquatic diversity in the state. Come see fish unique to this area\, understand why they are found here and why they are vulnerable to extirpation. \nLearning objectives: \n\nElectrofishing Lower Caney Fork to assess stream quality using fish as bio-indicators. Students will learn electrofishing methods for wadeable mountain streams and fish identification.\nSnorkel the Tuckasegee River. Students can observe fish (and other aquatic organisms) in their natural environment. Develop a better understanding of the importance of aquatic habitat and sources of habitat loss. Observe interactions among aquatic organisms.\n\nWe will begin with a presentation to cover an introduction of the area\, safety\, endemic species\, and methods (30 minutes)\, 45 minute drive to E Laporte Park\, electrofishing (1 hour)\, break for lunch\, and then snorkel (1.5 hours). Price of workshop includes wetsuit and snorkeling gear. \nJason Meador is Mainspring’s Conservation Trust’s Aquatic Programs Manager. He is responsible for engaging youth and adults in the community in the work of Mainspring. He coordinates stream restoration activities and the Biomonitoring Program. Jason received his B.S. in Marine Sciences from North Carolina State University (2004). He later completed his M.S. in Forestry and Natural Resources (2008) with a concentration in fish/wildlife populations\, specifically working with freshwater mussels. \nClick here to apply.
