We are once again planning a trip to Belize. This summer's tentative trip dates are 18 May through 5 June. The proposed cost of the trip will be close to $3000. This includes: airfare, travel (in-country), lodging, meals and activities. The trip will be associated with the Tropical Ecology class offered in Spring 2009. Contact Sean Collins or come see Dr. Tom Jones (Morrow Library 115) for more information.

The May 2008 trip is cancelled. There were some reservations about sending research students "unsupervised" for an extended period of time. Dr. Jones and Sean Collins will be traveling to Belize to set up contact persons in-country. Plan on a trip in May 2009.
