During the week of March 26-30, Colorado State University (CSU) will again offer its annual Wildlife Management Short Course, mainly for laypersons and agency personnel without wildlife training.

The five-day short course, limited to 50 participants, is designed to provide an overview of principles of wildlife (including fisheries) ecology and management. Current programs and issues related to natural resources conservation also will be discussed. The short course consists of presentations by university faculty and personnel from various agencies and organizations. Field trips may involve fishery research techniques demonstrations and a visit to a raptor rehabilitation center. Pending approval, academic credit is available for participants.

The cost of the short course is $490 for registrations postmarked and paid in full by March 9.
