Given the location of the University of Vermont in the Northern Forest area, matching local community needs with student service-learning research projects will provide both the communities and the University with mutually beneficial opportunities. Community organizations (public and nonprofit) will obtain much needed research and implementation capacity. Students will be completing a variety of graduation requirements through this civic engagement program, and will develop skills and experiences complementing their conservation leadership training program.
