Class Details (Information is updated at 5 a.m., noon and 5 p.m. CST)

Details	Students will compile and finalize a formal portfolio, reflecting a comprehensive master plan for wildlife viewing and nature tourism support services and facilities for their chosen community and/or wildlife resource site. The plan will be a critical analysis of the chosen site and incorporate all of the data and information gathered in previous courses for the same site (site changes are discouraged but may be made in consultation with the instructor). The plan must demonstrate breadth and depth of understanding of all elements of the curriculum. Particular attention will be paid to the student's understanding and application of sustainability-based systems and wildlife recreation and nature tourism model within their project. The project must be submitted and orally presented to (besides the instructor and peers), decision-makers in the community and/or the wildlife resource site. Evaluation of the plan and oral presentation must be solicited from a minimum of three officials to whom the project is presented and their assessment forwarded to the instructor for incorporation into a final grade. For off-site students, a video-tape of the presentation to officials must be submitted for instructor evaluation. Prerequisites: ESM 620, 645, 711 and MNGT 655, or consent of instructor.
