222–224p. Abstract: While educationally beneficial, place-based learning can be challenging to implement in an applied forest ecology course that draws a diversity of students with limited forest experience. I describe a semester-long sequence of labs designed to instill place-based learning principles. The semester begins with an observational lab to develop an initial personal forest relationship, with future learning reinforcing and cultivating this bond. Forest-specific labs cover key applied ecology concepts while continuing to expand on students’ place knowledge with an overarching forest management plan to provide real-world application and expression of understanding. ***______{For Hard Copy, Please visit Library.}________*** place-based learning| forest ecology| applied ecology| field-based learning| college 0002-7685 https://doi.org/10.1525/abt.2023.85.4.222 https://doi.org/10.1525/abt.2023.85.4.222 240305 20240305172632.0
