Yellowstone Wildlife Ecology Project

ECOLOGY PROJECT INTERNATIONAL (EPI)
Yellowstone Wildlife Ecology Summer Research Program Experience the power of conservation where it all began — in Yellowstone, the world’s first national park. On our Wildlife Ecology Program, you’ll walk among bison and elk; you’ll track Yellowstone wildlife, from grizzlies to pikas, across ancient volcanic plateaus.
Here in the wild, howl at the moon and you can hope a wolf howls back. Our summer research programs for high school and college students engage you with meaningful science in a landscape so unique, it inspired the entire idea that places and animals deserve protection. Learn More. Contact Us.
