New Course: Communicating Conservation in the Southern Blue Ridge

Western North Carolina is full of special places; this richly diverse temperate rainforest houses some of the world’s most amazing and threatened species and ecosystems. Saving special places and organisms takes more than just good science and policy. Modern conservation must also include effective communication with key stakeholders, including the general public. In this course, students will participate in local conservation projects, helping to share the stories of the imperiled ecosystems of western North Carolina and the dedicated people working to help save them. Students will learn and practice science communication techniques, including scientific writing, video, photography, podcasting, and dissemination through social media and other outlets.

Course Instructor Peter Erb:
Peter Erb is a conservation biologist-turned-filmmaker who teaches science communication and documentary film courses at WWC. When not behind the lens of a camera, Peter is often found hiking in WNC or Montana with is wife, daughter, and Bernese mountain dog, Bridger.

• Enter your insurance information.
