AVEO and Keene State College Continuing Education proudly sponsor the Field Studies Program, which provides a hands-on introduction to natural history and ecological data collection in southwest New Hampshire. Students learn from local experts while exploring the woods, waters, and fields of the Ashuelot Valley, then go on to join AVEO’s growing corps of citizen scientists. We’re excited about our course offerings this winter and spring (some of which start quite SOON!), and we hope you will be too!

Registration is now open for the following courses. Please click on the links for course dates and descriptions!

Now that AVEO is officially online, we’re looking forward to sharing stories, photos, and even videos of citizen science in the Ashuelot River watershed! See below for footage from the 2007 Monitoring Avian Productivity and Survival (MAPS) bird banding station at Keene State College’s Wildlife Management Area, and keep checking back for more stories of AVEO in action!

AVEO thanks The Putnam Foundation, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and Mary Wright for their generous support of our bird banding program.
