Beginning in the Fall 2001 semester, the ES core courses Environmental Science (ES 112), Conservation and Environmental Policy (ES 211), and Nature's Meanings (ES 215) are each devoting some portion of the course to an examination of the Bread Loaf region. The purpose of this is to provide a common thread to help integrate these different classes that serve to introduce students to how the humanities, the natural sciences, and the social sciences understand human-environmental interactions. Listed below are resources related to the Bread Loaf region. As this Bread Loaf core integration initiative continues to evolve, we will add more resources to this page, including GIS resources.
