Alpine Ecosystems Research: our multi-disciplinary approach

What does it mean to be "multi-disciplinary?" We gather and synthesize information from multiple perspectives and fields such as geology, biology, archaeology. We also incorporate the cultural perspectives of the people who lived in these ecosystems. We strive to bring a diverse range of voices who love and care about these ecosystems, and seek to understand how we can better tend them for the benefit of generations to come.

Educational Outreach

We conduct a number of educational outreach events across various venues. We are equipped to give talks and teach classes across numerous topics, such as human ecology, foraging practices, ethnobotany, ecosystem restoration, soil restoration, and more.

Formal Classes

We are equipped to provide formal classes and in-field opportunities about a number of topics starting in 2026. See the list of curricula options here!

Low-Cost Educational Field Opportunities for ALL

Come with us and be a part of the science in action during our hands-on learning experiences in the field! You can take part in our research directly by volunteering for the low cost of a basic membership, starting at $25 dollars. All you have to do is show up ready to camp, and we'll be there ready to cook and to teach.

Historic Research for Private Land Owners

Do you own a piece of interesting history? We can provide archaeological and historical research about your land, tailored to your research question. Contact us to find out more about how to unlock the mysteries hiding in your backyard!

Biological Soil Research and Education

We provide research opportunities and educational content for landowners, members of the public, and academic disciplines. Through these research and educational activities, we conduct soil assessments that measure the present biological soil activity, which can provide a snapshot into soil health and nutrient cycling for a particular moment in time.
