Raystown Field Station

Raystown Field Station Raystown Field Station Furthermore, most parks lack classroom and laboratory facilities, and park visitors may disturb research apparatus or survey markers.

In most parks and natural areas, regulations discourage or prohibit collecting specimens, manipulating habitats, and disturbing plants and animals. While such restrictions can be important in protecting the integrity of the environment, they also make it difficult, if not impossible, to conduct many types of scientific activities. The Raystown Field Station provides a place to study nature with fe

wer distractions and greater flexibility - a place where you can establish experiments without worrying about someone pulling up your survey flags, stepping on your study organisms, or walking away with your expensive data logger. Therefore, it is no surprise that field stations have been at the forefront of biological research and education. Most field stations are associated with major universities; it is unusual for a small, private school such as Juniata to have such an active field program.
