On the agenda: hiking, rock scrambles, birding, caving, and fossil-hunting, with some downtime to relax and an evening around the campfire at Red Creek Campground.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professors <strong>Doug Graber Neufeld<\/strong> and <strong>Jim Yoder<\/strong>, who teach biology and environmental sustainability, led the trip to West Virginia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe live and work in an amazing place with access to these public lands that are both our laboratory and our home,\u201d Graber Neufeld said. \u201cWe wanted to give our students an opportunity to see some of that beauty, get away from campus, and do something fun in ecology without a test or homework hanging over them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trip, with one- and two-night options, was open to all environmental sustainability majors and minors and any first-year student considering the major.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ally Peachey<\/strong>, a sophomore majoring in environmental science and biology from Champaign, Illinois, says Dolly Sods made the list as one of her favorite wild places, along with the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
