About the Trip
Despite being some of the most charismatic and well-loved species, owls are often understudied due to their nocturnal nature. HWI has taken to the riparian canyons of southeast Arizona and the aspen forests of Northern Utah to study knowledge gap forest owl species. The species we study are all cavity nesters, meaning that their survival is deeply entwined with the health of the forest. Through our long-term study, we are looking to learn how factors, such as climate change, may alter the landscape of the forests and the food sources within them and, as a result, affect the health of small forest owl species.
Be a biologist for a week! Join our team as we head into the woods to study small forest owl species.
Join us in the field to see what it is like to be a biologist, learn more about the flora and fauna of the region, and get the rare chance to see owls up close.
On your all-inclusive trip, you’ll have 4 days/3 nights to explore the sky islands of the Chiricahua Mountains in southeastern Arizona or the Aspen forests of northern Utah. During the day, you’ll help us study the forests these owls call home. In the evening, we go out owling. You might even get to release an owl back into the night sky!
