Americas for Forest and EcoHealth: A4FEH
The Americas for Forest and EcoHealth (A4FEH), an exchange program between the University of Vermont (UVM) and the Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala (USAC), is a partnership that will provide students from both universities experiences to address the real-world problem of forest restoration, build technical and linguistic skills, and engage in cross-institution, international teamwork. Students from USAC will work with faculty and student mentors from UVM and students from UVM will collaborate with service-learning partners in Guatemala to address the intersection of human and forest ecosystem health and take a course on reforestation and epidemiology.
