Education/Training


Mark watches closely as a student learns to use a chainsaw. He taught a beginning chainsaw class to a group of Wild Rockies Field Institute students in summer 2004.

We bridge the gap between current ecological concepts and on-the-ground restoration work. We have trained landowners, agency personnel, families, nonprofit groups and college students.

    We offer the following seminars and workshops:

  • Forest Restoration Practicum
  • Sustainable Forestry Techniques
  • Severe Disturbance Assessment & Restoration
  • Soil Ecology & Biophysical Monitoring
  • Fruit Tree Pruning
  • Rural Living
  • VanWild Internships
