There is also information on other areas where I am involved such as the Ithaca Free Clinic and teaching abroad.  If you are interested in a more ongoing discussion, see my blog or Facebook pages (7Song and School page)

 

 

 

School Application Form-for all programs.
Please note, the application form should be in an internet fillout-able form. If when clicked it opens right away, without another box (pdf box), look to see if there is an option along the top right that says 'Open with Different Viewer'. Click on that button and a new box appears. Click okay and then you should have the right form. Sorry about this, I'll try to fix it soon.

PhotosWhite-faced Meadowhawk

One of my favorite pastimes is taking photos of plants, with a focus on medicinal plants. The plants here are accurately labeled and can be used for help in identification.
As a naturalist, there are also many photos of animals, insects and landscapes. There are also photographs of previous classes and the places we've been. It is searchable, and a good place to get a sense of the different programs
