Dexter Hodder has a degree in Natural Resource Management from Memorial University of Newfoundland and is currently the Research Coordinator with the UNBC John Prince Research Forest.  He worked with Memorial University of Newfoundland and World Wildlife Fund Austria on the Brown Bear reintroduction into Austria.  He also worked on large carnivore research project in Piatra Craiului National Park in Romania.  The focus of the project was on Brown Bear, European Wolf, and European Lynx populations and their impacts to local shepherding societies.  He has also worked with rural communities in northern Manitoba and Newfoundland in various community development capacities.  In the past 3.5 years he has worked on a moose/access management project on the John Prince Research Forest looking at the effects of increased logging road development on winter range utilization by moose, deer and elk.  In addition, he has been working on a project looking at seasonal visitation patterns of moose at local mineral licks and Black Bear den site selection in northern BC and the impacts of logging on hibernating bears.  He is currently looking at winter feeding site selection and population densities of river otters in large lake systems in the Fort St. James Forest District.  Dexter also has varied field experience in the forest industry and is currently developing a long-term wildlife monitoring plan for the JPRF.

 

 

 

 

Course Overview

The purpose of this two-week field camp course is to provide students with an overall professional-level integration of forest resource management that draws on the student’s collective undergraduate experiences.  Field camp provides a setting for students, instructors and resource professionals to discuss, apply and integrate principles from undergraduate course and lab work, field and employment experiences.  Field camp provides resource management students with an opportunity to gain practical experience applying creative and innovative integrated resource management skills and techniques to manage for non-timber forest resource values at multiple temporal and spatial scales.  Field camp provides third year students with a foundation for fourth year courses that require knowledge of multiple resource values and issues, and integration of this knowledge.  The course is taught in a modular format with the content being delivered by local experts working in the field of integrated resource management.  The course is carried out in a setting that promotes group discussion and teamwork.
