Earthquest (Canada) for the Environment

I spent 4 weeks on the FMBP course in August 2023. During this time I learnt to identify over 20 families of vascular plants and was additionally trained in the use of GIS software. This experience subsequently assisted me in obtaining a job in the conservation sector in my home country. During my stay , Dave wasaninc iredibly knowledgeable and helpful teacher and also welcomed me into his community which supported me when being so far away from home. I would recommend his courses to anyone.

Wasn't sure what to expect from this experience but exceeded all my hopes. Dave is a kind and generous instructor who made me feel very welcome in Canada and introduced me to his family and friends so that I felt integrated into a community. On top of this he is extremely knowledgeable and I felt I came away with more practical knowledge of plants than ever taught in my biology courses at university. Hopefully I can continue this going forward. The lodge where you stay is comfortable and right next to the beach and Dave charges extremely reasonable prices for rent and fuel etc so you can budget accordingly. With Dave I got to explore so many field sites in Ontario as well as manitoulin island and Pelee island, and I feel in love with the area and the kindness of the people. I will definitely be back, thanks again Dave ! Ellie

This course, held locally in Ontario, exceeded my expectations. Dave is incredibly knowledgeable, an enthusiastic and generous instructor. I have built the foundation I wanted and learned so much more.
