Wildlife Technician Program
Our WTP provides hands-on research experience for high school students
interested in the fields of ecology and wildlife biology. Students selected for the
WTP are introduced to the basic principles of ecology and study design through
hands-on participation in an engaging, non-traditional learning environment.
Meet our Techs
Techs, as we call our high school
students, work with mentors
throughout their research
experience. Mentors may be MRGP
staff biologists or graduate
students working on projects at
the Preserve. Two or three into the
program each year.
