The basic requirements of wildlife are discussed and population ecology emphasizes the importance of maintaining animal populations rather than individuals. Animal behavior is discussed with specific reference to its application to wildlife management.
Offered at UMCP.

Instructor: Dr. Lowell Adams
Course Description: The purpose of this course is to give students hands-on experience with field techniques in wildlife management that they can expect to be involved with in many entry-level jobs following graduation. Techniques focus on various methods of conducting indices, estimates, and censuses of wildlife populations. Field work will be done locally on university grounds and nearby federal facilities, state wildlife management areas, and county/city parks.
Offered every spring at UMCP.
