We’re to feature Dr. Fisher and her students in the Methods in Soil Ecology course and the work they have been doing in the Hood-FH Resource Garden.
"One of the things I love about soil science is that it is applicable on many scales. All of my students are now equipped to improve the health and fertility of the soil in their surroundings, whether that be through their work, research projects, internship experiences, or just in their own backyards."

We’re of Environmental Biology student Chris Burch, who was awarded the Melville H. Cohee Student Leader Conservation Scholarship!
"With most of the classes offered at night, and even some online, the Hood College program was perfect! It was flexible with my work schedule. It was close to home. It had all the courses I wanted to take, and best of all, the price was very affordable compared to any of the other schools I explored."
