I learned so much about Scottish wildlife, how to identify different plants and work together as a team.

lots of ecology skills, plus how to sing karaoke and play rugby Liston B - University of Arkansas - Fayetteville View Entire Review
There are many factors to consider when trying to manage ecological resources. There are also many tools/methods to employ when carrying this out. One must think of all the repercussions of their actions and what could be the future of a site. Overall, the experience was worthwhile and enlightening.
