My WRFI Restoration Ecology course was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. As a student studying Art History and Government, I was unsure if this type of course would be something for me. I recommend this to anyone - your major doesn't matter. The experience is 100% worth it and you'll leave a more well-rounded and mindful person.
