of The Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Participants in this special project will camp and hike and study the forests and wildlife of the Appalachian Mountains.
The Smokies are a globally recognized reservoir of biologically diversity, containing the largest remaining tracts of old growth forest in the eastern U.S. The spectacular spring displays of wildflowers are internationally famous. These mountains are also a world center of diversity for amphibian species, especially salamanders.
Students will have opportunities to view most of the major habitat types to be found in the park, as well as gaining an appreciation for the historical human communities of these mountains.
