A summer field experience is a required and unforgettable part of every College of Natural Resources (CNR) major at UW-Stevens Point. This hands-on program offers three exciting options to fit your interests: a traditional six-week format at our Treehaven Field Station or on campus, an international exploration of Europe\u2019s natural landscapes, or an immersive ecological adventure in Kenya. Costs typically range from $3,800 to $6,000, depending on residency and program choice, covering tuition, course fees, and lodging options. No matter which path you choose, you\u2019ll gain real-world skills, earn academic credits, and create lasting memories while advancing your career in natural resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The traditional Summer Field Experience (SFE) option immerses students in a six-week program designed to build essential natural resource skills. Held at Treehaven Field Station in northern Wisconsin or the UW-Stevens Point campus (when available), this option focuses on mastering field techniques, exploring integrated resource management, and gaining hands-on experience with northern flora, fauna, and ecosystems. Through structured courses and professional interactions, students refine their expertise and evaluate potential career paths in natural resources—all while earning graded academic credit.<\/p><\/div>
