This subject is taught during a field camp off-campus. Practical work and lectures will be conducted at a field station at Boho South in the Strathbogie Ranges, during the mid-semester break in late September.

This subject requires all students to actively and safely participate in laboratory and field activities. Students undertake field trip experiences that will require them to be physically capable of undertaking outdoor field work in remote locations. This subject involves the use of animals - exemption is not possible, however some research projects, that do not use animals, are avaliable for those with strong philosophical objections - this must be discussed with the coordinator.
