Educational Initiatives

Dr. Rhoades teaches Historical Ecology every year. This class provides an overview of human impact over time on ecological, rural landscapes, with a focus on the piedmont of the southeastern U.S. As part of the class, students learn different historical skills using tools that would have been available at that time; last fall, they learned how to select timber, skin and notch logs and assemble log homes using pioneer-era tools.
