Heritage Expeditions is a new experimental program to help care for cultural resources on Forest Service lands. The program offers educational tours and programs highlighting prehistoric and historic sites in national forests. Fees collected are used to protect and manage heritage sites for the public. Archaeo Expeditions, sponsored by Cultural Expeditions MEC Canada, Inc., offers opportunities for those 18 years of age and older to participate in archaeological projects with museums, heritage programs, and archaeologists working in the field. This year's projects take place in Russia, Peru, Jordan, Italy, Israel, China, as well as Canada.
