Colorado Plateau: $300

We are available to consult with you on outreach strategies for your campus. Please email zoe@wrfi.net for assistance. Thank you for your enthusiasm and advocacy for WRFI. We know how powerful, transformative, and motivating a WRFI field course can be - let's share that knowledge with the world!

Featured Course: Environmental Ethics

Climate Change and Visions of a Sustainable Future

Philosophy sometimes has the reputation of being stuffy and abstract. WRFI's Environmental Ethics course brings philosophical thinking directly into contact with the lived world. Traversing Montana's impressive landscapes, questions about how we should live good lives in the face of climate change are realized in the sight, touch, sound, smell, and (yes!) taste of this wondrous more-than-human home of ours.
