Methods, Professional Development Tools, Implementation 2

 Field sites are a central component of instruction for students in their initial training. Each group must work at a specific field site and conduct a naturalistic study at that site.

Workshop locations:

- Lauze Scrubland (Errol Véla, Les Ecologistes de l'Euzière, Carrières du Biterrois)

- Palavasian Ponds (Benoit Nabholz, CEN Languedoc-Roussillon partner)

- Arre Valley (Eric Imbert, Pays Viganais Community of Municipalities, Cévennes National Park)

- Causse du Larzac (Olivier Duriez, Parc des Grands Causses)

The cost of the program must include coverage of students' transportation expenses (12 round-trip trips per semester).
