NATURAL HISTORY SEMINARS
In support of field biologists, modern field naturalists, and students
of the natural history sciences, Eagle Hill offers specialty seminars
and workshops at different ecological scales for those who are
interested in understanding, addressing, and solving complex ecological
questions. Seminars topics range from watershed level subjects, and
subjects in classical ecology, to highly specialized seminars in
advanced biology, taxonomy, and ecological restoration. Eagle Hill has
long been recognized as offering hard-to-find seminars and workshops
which provide important opportunities for training and meeting others
who are likewise dedicated to the study of the natural history sciences.
Eagle Hill field seminars are of special interest because they focus on
the natural history of one of North America's most spectacular and
pristine natural areas, the coast of eastern Maine from Acadia National
Park to Petit Manan National Wildlife Refuge and beyond. Most seminars
combine field studies with follow-up lab studies and a review of the
literature. Additional information is provided in lectures, slide
presentations, and discussions. Seminars are primarily taught for
people who already have a reasonable background in a seminar program or
in related subjects, or who are keenly interested in learning about a
new subject. Prior discussions of personal study objectives are welcome.
