Semester in the West

On tuesday, a few of us met Whitman College's Semester in the West class out in the Bodie Hills. Semester in the West is an amazing environmental studies program where the students travel all over the west, seeing tons of places and meeting with people from a variety of organizations to talk about public lands conservation. The students complete four courses while on the road, along with camping most nights and cooking their own meals.

Jeff told the students all about range management for the BLM, and they helped us install stays on our Bodie Creek fence. They wouldn't stop until all 500 were installed! Their work really helped us out, and they had great questions! An impressive group of students from an awesome program.

ready to help!
