The Maryland Summer Center for Conservation Research is a two week program that takes students through the journey of primary research. It is a non-residential program and is housed at Harford Glen Environmental Education Center. Students determine the research question they want to tackle and use their time at the center to conduct their research. As one person said it, "When a student completes this process, they will know something that nobody else in the world knows". Click on the presentations below to view previous research.
