Are you a college student, a soon-to-be one or a grad student considering a career in a natural-resources related field? If so, and you want some career advice, you can head to the Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook in Dutchess County. It’s a bit of a drive, but having visited the place for other programs, I can tell you it’s worth a visit.
