[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here…again, thank you for all these leads! To the PP who asked where we are going--Southern California.

Anyone have any thoughts on colleges that specialize in some of this stuff?  The PP comment on U of Michigan got me thinking.[/quote]

Lots of schools! If she's looking for the funky, outdoor focused schools, any of the Eco League Schools should fit the bill: http://ecoleague.org/who-we-are/
Alaska Pacific University
College of the Atlantic (ME)
Dickinson College (PA)
Green Mountain College (VT)
Northland College (WI)
Prescott College (AZ)

(I can hear everyone now. "But those aren't well-regarded schools!" Believe me, I know. I graduated from one of them and am always having to explain where it is and what makes it different. But damn if I didn't get into a MA program ranked top-10 in the country in my field, so.........college is what you make of it)

Michigan Tech has an outstanding Forestry program

Lewis & Clark College in Oregon

Warren Wilson College in North Carolina is super green with a lot of environmental studies majors

A lot of other schools offer majors that would be of interest to your daughter. Some majors she might be interested in exploring are Outdoor Education, Natural History, Natural Resources, Forestry, Environmental Studies, Environmental Science.

Three programs that may be of interest to your daughter as she further explores her love of the outdoors:
NOLS http://www.nols.edu/
Outward Bound http://www.outwardbound.org/
Southern Appalachian Wilderness Stewards http://www.trailcrews.org/ (run by friends of mine)[/quote]
