The emphasis of the Field School is on the rigorous practice of key conservation ethnobiology skills. This is not a show-and-tell camp!
Participants must do considerable preparation; skills must be acquired and then they must be demonstrated during a week of intensive practice before going to the field sites on Kaua`i.
The living conditions on Kaua`i will be primitive. All participants live out of tents and use camp-style restroom facilities.
