Abstract:
A course in environmental stewardship at Central Washington University engages students from diverse disciplines in the development of stewardship plans for local recreational areas and interpretive sites. The course draws from the strengths of different disciplines to lead students through the design of comprehensive stewardship plans that address monitoring, management, and citizen involvement. A discussion of how the course structure and curriculum advance interdisciplinary collaboration in ecology is provided. Future directions in the use of environmental stewardship in ecology education are discussed.
