Students and Interns undertake projects with the following goals in mind:
Large-scale restoration of diverse wildlife habitats, especially mid-Atlantic coastal grasslands, Delmarva Bays and the Chester River, all of which have long histories of heavy human-impact, such as agriculture and pasturing.
Design of studies and protocols for the establishment and sustainable management of these wildlife habitats, especially as they interact with on-going modern farming.
To conduct basic and applied research on the flora and fauna that colonize these restored habitats, to learn their natural requirements for sustained survival, growth, and reproduction.
Environmental education, including hands-on programs for school children K-12, undergraduate and graduate students and members of society interested in the natural sciences.
