Using Gis As A Watershed Management Education Tool, T. M. Williams, W. R. English, Donald J. Lipscomb, Christopher S, Nickel Jan 2002

Using Gis As A Watershed Management Education Tool, T. M. Williams, W. R. English, Donald J. Lipscomb, Christopher S, Nickel

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

Global Information Systems, including the capacity of these systems to store and manipulate data, have found great utility in analyzing spatial information. The spatial information that is most useful to watershed managers includes accounting of land-use practices that both damage and enhance water quality in watersheds. The capacity of GIS to present data visually is very helpful when trying to educate those concerned with watershed management issues.

Experiential Learning At California Polytechnic State University's Swanton Pacific Ranch, Samantha J. Gill Jan 2002

Experiential Learning At California Polytechnic State University's Swanton Pacific Ranch, Samantha J. Gill

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

Swanton Pacific Ranch (SPR) is a 3,200-acre fully operational ranch, including forested lands, located 12 miles north of Santa Cruz, California, and 200 miles north of the California Polytechnic State university, San Luis Obispo main campus. Even though the property is 200 miles from the main campus, it is used extensively for experiential learning activities. SPR was first established as a Mexican land grant in 1843. Since that time, it has had several owners and has been a dairy, and had several agricultural operations including growing crops, such as artichokes, brussels sprouts, and also cattle operations. The area was logged …


Curricular Threads : Integrated Themes From Introductory To Capstone Courses, T. J. Newcomb, B. R. Murphy, J. M. Berkson Jan 2002

Curricular Threads : Integrated Themes From Introductory To Capstone Courses, T. J. Newcomb, B. R. Murphy, J. M. Berkson

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

Effective curricular design in natural resources should concentrate not only on critical technical content, but also on developing important themes in ver-increasing complexity as students proceed from introductory to capstone courses. We propose a set of perspectives /values (e.g., citizenship, respect, curiosity, liflong learning, and the role of science in society) and critical skills (e.g., communication, leadership, critical thinking, problem solving, and team working) that we believe should be used as a set of “curricular threads” uniting individual courses in the curriculum. Students should be exposed to these perspectives early in their student careers, and they should be challenged to …


Integrated Resource Management Courses : Lessons Learned After Six Years, Hugh O. Canham Jan 2002

Integrated Resource Management Courses : Lessons Learned After Six Years, Hugh O. Canham

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

Integrated management courses, or capstone courses, have been inserted into many forestry and natural resource college curricula. The general intent is to have the students bring together the knowledge they have gained in other courses and synthesize an holistic solution to some set of issues. At Syracuse such a course was made a required part of the senior year in the Forest Resources Management program starting in the fall of 1996. The author has taught the course almost every semester, sometimes in conjunction with others. Over the years various procedures were tried, different cases utilized, and different requirements placed on …


Undergraduate Student Internships In Natural Resources At Virginia 4-H Educational Centers, Jeff Kirwan, Barry Fox, Barry Garst Jan 2002

Undergraduate Student Internships In Natural Resources At Virginia 4-H Educational Centers, Jeff Kirwan, Barry Fox, Barry Garst

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

Virginia has six 4-H educational centers that provide residential camping experiences for over 22,000 youth per year, the second largest 4-H camping program in the United States. These children may have many learning opportunities in the areas of natural resources and outdoor living skills. Beginning in 1995, the Chesapeake Bay Program in cooperation with the Virginia Division of Soil and Water Conservation provided funds for water quality instructors at each of the 4-H Centers. In 1998, the Virginia Forestry Educational Foundation began supporting a similar internship program for undergraduate students to serve as forestry instructors. Nearly 50 undergraduate students have …


Comparison Of Academic Statistics Of Two-Year College Transfer And Native Fisheries And Wildlife Students At The University Of Missouri, Janice E. Faaborg, Joshua J. Millspaugh, Mark R. Ryan Jan 2002

Comparison Of Academic Statistics Of Two-Year College Transfer And Native Fisheries And Wildlife Students At The University Of Missouri, Janice E. Faaborg, Joshua J. Millspaugh, Mark R. Ryan

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

As an increasing number of high school graduates take advantage of less-stringent economic and entrance requirements offered through two-year colleges, concern is mounting at the University of Missouri (MU) and other major universities about the ability of two-year college transfer students to compete in advanced, preprofessional curricula such as Fisheries and Wildlife. We assessed the validity of this concern by examining the academic histories of two-year college transfer students (n=21), students transferring into our department from another MU program (n=23), and students who had enrolled in Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences (FW) as freshmen (n=56). Two-year college transfer students were less …

Introducing Problem-Based Learning Techniques Into The Natural Resources Managment Curriculum At The University Of Delaware, Steven E. Hastings, Dewey M. Caron, Thomas W. Ilvento, Joshua M. Duke

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

Natural Resource Management is a relatively new interdisciplinary major in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources at the University of Delaware. This paper describes the efforts of faculty to incorporate problem-based learning techniques into several courses in the Natural Resource Management major. It includes a brief history of the major; an overview of problem-based learning programs and initiatives at the University of Delaware; a discussion of problem-based learning techniques recently introduced into courses in statistics, community economic development, environmental law, and a senior capstone course; and observations by faculty and students on the problems and benefits of problem-based learning …


I'S And E'S Of Natural Resources Education, Or, Moving From Learner To Teacher, Gary J. San Julian Jan 2002

I'S And E'S Of Natural Resources Education, Or, Moving From Learner To Teacher, Gary J. San Julian

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

Natural Resources provide some of the most fertile and interesting subjects for an educator to present. Yet, our undergraduate and graduate students are poorly prepared to be educators. Few Master's or Doctoral programs require any education courses before a degree is bestowed. We touch hundreds of students each year in our classes who will become professionals, but are we giving them the tools to pass on their love of the resource to the next generation? Undergraduates and graduate students who are taking our courses should, in my opinion, have the skills and more importantly the desire to pass on the …


Potential Strategies For Managing Utah's Wolf-Livestock Conflicts, T. Adam Switalski, Trey Simmons, Shiree L. Duncan, Andreas S. Chavez, Robert H. Schmidt Jan 2002

Potential Strategies For Managing Utah's Wolf-Livestock Conflicts, T. Adam Switalski, Trey Simmons, Shiree L. Duncan, Andreas S. Chavez, Robert H. Schmidt

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) classifies gray wolf populations as either endangered, threatened, or nonessential / experimental. Therefore, if wolves enter Utah under their current legal classification, the USFWS will be the primary agency responsible for wolf management (see Section 2). For the last 30 years, this agency has been responsible for managing recovering wolf populations in other parts of the United States, both in the Great Lakes and the Rockies. Unfortunately, wolves have come into conflict with livestock in all of their recovery areas. As a result, the USFWS has taken various measures to minimize these …


Economic Aspects Of Wolf Recolonization In Utah, T. Adam Switalski, Trey Simmons, Shiree L. Duncan, Andreas S. Chavez, Robert H. Schmidt Jan 2002

Economic Aspects Of Wolf Recolonization In Utah, T. Adam Switalski, Trey Simmons, Shiree L. Duncan, Andreas S. Chavez, Robert H. Schmidt

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

An assessment of likely economic effects of wolf recovery should be included in the discussion of the future of wolves in Utah. In this section, we discuss both the potential benefits and the expected costs of wolf recovery to Utah’s economy. The potential benefits include both use—such as increases in tourism resulting from the presence of wolves—or non-use values that can be measured by willingness to pay surveys. The expected costs of recovery include direct costs born by agencies involved in wolf management, livestock owners that experience losses from wolf depredation, and those that might result from reduced game take …
