Early this summer the Applied Forest Ecology course will be taught in the field with the help of Song Gao. We plan to camp and stay in cabins and will visit Big Thicket, long leaf pine stands and a variety of forests and heaths in the Great Smoky Mountains and other areas of the Southern Appalachians. The course will offer many opportunities for hiking, as well for exploring different forest ecosystem types.

Coastal zone course on field trips
The Coastal Zone Management course is offering two field trips. The first is to Sea Center, Brazosport, and to Brazos Bend State Park to view the hatchery, coastal developments, and management of wetlands. The second will camp on Galveston Island and will view the NOAA sea turtle research facility, coastal dune and marsh restoration, and the famous seawall and jetties.
Christianity, Wilderness and Wildlife goes into paperback edition
University of Scranton Press has decided to make my book Christianity, Wilderness, and Wildlife: The Original Desert Solitaire available in paperback. This will reduce the price of book and make it more acccessible to students. The hard cover is now out of print (I have a few copies left) and soon to be replaced by a less expense paperback. I feel good about a major Christian writing project that is staying print for more than 15 years.
