A new interdisciplinary service-learning course that brings together art and science students to learn from each other and produce a product for the public. Science students will partner with students from the College of Design to travel to NREM's French Conservation Camp in Montana. There they will meet with scientists, US Forest Service rangers, and other stakeholders to learn about natural resource issues in the region. Then they will design and produce new interpretive signs and other visual materials to be installed by the Forest Service at trailheads and campgrounds to educate the public and communicate science. Students will travel to Montana for 1.5 weeks of fieldwork, then continue to meet on campus to design and produce the visual.

Ideal for Interpretation Option students! Counts as an Option elective in Forestry or A ECL and as an ARTGR484/584 class for Design students. 40 hours toward NREM 104.

  • Course credits: (3 course credits)
  • Course fee: $1100

This program is tentatively being planned for fall 2025.
