Biology excursion
WILLIMANTIC --- In late May, eight students from the Department of Biology at Eastern Connecticut State University went on a 12-day tropical excursion in Costa Rica. The trip, led by biology Professors Brett Mattingly and Matthew Graham, guided students through the ecosystem’s natural history and ecology. Among the students was Kassidy Stewart of Putnam, a senior who majors in biology. Students analyzed the various tropical habitats and the interactivity of their diverse flora and fauna. Through their fieldwork in the rainforest ecosystems, students also delved into Costa Rica’s agricultural practices, sustainability methods and environmental preservation methods.
