Once farmland, this wooded acreage, transected by old fieldstone walls and the meandering Rutgers Creek, offers diverse habitats for field studies and environmental monitoring. You will have opportunities to work in the conservancy with field scientists to conduct surveys, design assessment tools and ecological indices and make use of sophisticated instrumentation and technology. You will also have time to explore cultural and natural features of the Delaware Water Gap, a National Park. PEEC is a long time partner with the National Park Service. Accommodations at PEEC are rustic.
