Over the summer students from our Biology, Zoology and Environmental Science and Sustainability courses had the opportunity to visit Grand Teton, Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks to research pollinators in partnership with Colorado State University ✈️

The trip gave our students the chance to take part in scientific fieldwork, developing skills in mapping, species identification and citizen science while contributing to research into the impact of climate change on pollinators 🐝

There were many memorable moments along the way - including finding an endangered Western Bumblebee at a new location in Yellowstone, encountering bears and bison, a very unimpressed moose and mountain goats in Glacier National Park.

It was incredible experience for our students, developing valuable skills and experience to support their future careers 🏔️👏
