DetailsThis course engages students in understanding the comprehensive infrastructure and ecologic sensitivity necessary for effectively and efficiently maximizing the visitors' wildlife viewing experiences; yet, symbiotically protecting the wildlife they've come to see and enhancing the quality of life for the host community. Students will personally inventory the existing wildlife viewing opportunities and quality of those opportunities based on universal design guidelines for viewing sites, trails, signing, visitor centers, day use areas, comfort facilities, public transportation, parking, and accessibility for the diversity of domestic and international visitors. Students will then design a specific wildlife viewing project with supporting documents for their chosen community sites and formally present their designs to public officials and other interested parties. Prerequisites: ESM 620, ESM/BIOL 645, MNGT 655, or consent of instructor.
