Welcome to the June 2016 eNewsletter from Alderleaf Wilderness College! 1.) Graduation and Alumni Updates! 2.) Featured Article: Skull Identification 3.) Upcoming Course Dates  We just graduated this amazing group of Alderleaf Wilderness Certification Program (AWCP) students (our 8th annual class!). They had a successful survival trip to wrap up the year. A huge congrats to all of them!
 We also graduated our first class of second year students, the Advanced Wilderness Skills Program (AWSP). They had a tremendous year of in-depth training. Words can't express how proud we are of this rugged crew!
Learn about what some of these alumni are doing:  Andy and Annabel (picture behind the table), recent AWSP grads, accepted paid internships with Panthera (the world's leading wild cat conservation research organization), putting their tracking skills to use with the Teton Cougar Project in Wyoming!
 Kwan and Christina, AWCP grads, accepted employment with Trackers Earth Bay Area, teaching wilderness skills to teens on backpacking trips. Kwan and Christina will also be returning to Alderleaf in the fall to join our Wilderness Instructor Apprenticeship Program.
 James-Michael, AWCP grad, accepted a position with Outdoor Adventures, leading white-water rafting trips. He
will also be returning to Alderleaf in the fall to attend the Advanced Wilderness Skills Program.
 "Alderleaf has surprised me in many ways this year. I plan to use what I have learned at Alderleaf to start a Permaculture/Natural Building business. The most valuable thing I have learned this first year is how much naturalist skills will impact my future plans. My comfort level in the wilderness has grown tremendously, and I am very happy with the vast curriculum Alderleaf has presented." - Andrew Tuttle
 "During my time at Alderleaf I have been amazed by the opportunities and resources provided through the school. Not only am I obtaining a diverse skill set necessary for a
happy and successful lifestyle, I am also receiving skills and resources required for a prosperous and successful career. All the naturalist skills taught at Alderleaf have expanded my personal viewpoints of the world around me and provided me with a sense of belonging and fulfillment for years to come." -Brandon Dean
 "I have enjoyed every minute of the Wilderness Certification Program. Permaculture is my reason for being here, but I specifically chose Alderleaf because I wanted a robust set of naturalist skills to go along with a Permaculture Design Certificate. The instructors here are fantastic! The apprentices really enhance the experience. I was told in the beginning of the year, the field trips just get better and better, and it's totally true. One bit of advice for prospective students: come for the education, stay for the field trips!" - Alberto
