Doris Duke Conservation Scholar Fieldwork

The Doris Duke Conservation Scholars Program at the University of Washington is an eight-week, two-summer immersion experience for undergrads. The goal is to shape the future of conservation by fully integrating things like social justice, urban environments and more diverse communities and career paths. Shown here are students participating in Conservation Practice Teams around the Northwest.
