Description

Devoted to a specific topic unique for each semester and instructor. May be repeatable for credit. Fall 2026 SECTION 01 TOPIC: Hadwen Arboretum The experience will engage Clark University students at the Hadwen Arboretum, a 26 acre forest plot near the Clark campus. https://www.clarku.edu/arboretum/ Students will learn important skills for a career in conservation planning, wildlife ecology, forest ecology and arborculture. Skills include tree inventory and species identification, tree health assessment, soil assessment, invasive plant identification and removal, trail maintenance, GPS mapping and use of LIDAR imagery for site structural assessment, and use of wildlife camera traps. Students will also gain insights about urban greenspace management from Hadwen Arboretum partners including the Hassanamisco Nipmuc Band, the Greater Worcester Land Trust, the Department of Conservation and Recreation, and the Columbus Park Residents Association. Please reach out to Professor John Rogan if interested (jrogan@clarku.edu)
