EnCAP<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Recently, we had our third summer of the Environmental Career Preparedness Program (EnCAP) take place at the EERC. Over three weeks, participants explored topics including GIS mapping, restoration of ecology, insect biodiversity, and more. We\u2019re so grateful for the University of Washington Bothell faculty and staff who helped in preparing the next generation of environmental leaders!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
