Semester participants have the opportunity to carry out team orientated, directed research projects while working closely with a faculty mentor and in association with New Zealand research partners and the local community.  EcoQuest has long term commitments to ecological monitoring (of both endemic species and ecosystems) as well as projects and initiatives that advance sustainable management of natural resources and habitats.   Students take part in sustainable and cooperative living at the EcoQuest Field Centre and learn about New Zealand's rich Maori culture. 

Team members from colleges and universities across the country have joined EcoQuest in New Zealand for an unforgettable journey through interdisciplinary and experiential learning from the "mountains to the sea." Participants may choose from a four-course, 15-week fall or spring term for 16 credit hours, or from a two-course, five-week summer session for 8 credit hours.

EcoQuest alumni and staff look forward to sharing more information about this life-changing experience and hope to see you there. All majors are welcome!  Hope to see you there!  Pizza will be on hand.

The EcoQuest Education Foundation partners with the University of New Hampshire through the Department of Natural Resources and the Environment, under the direction of Dr. Kim Babbitt, UNH-EcoQuest Academic Program Coordinator.
