Hands-on learning in rural Idaho
Zena Creek Ranch Field School is a summer course through Boise State that provides on-site, intensive field learning for undergraduate and graduate students across environmental disciplines. The ranch is a fully off-grid, 50-acre inholding located near the Frank Church Wilderness and the Stibnite mine. Students will investigate use-inspired questions related to energy, land, and water transitions in rural Idaho. Focus will be placed on problem-based learning, individual reflection, and field projects.
