HAPPY WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY! ๐บ๏ธ๐
In May 2026, the Environmental Science program traveled to Belize for an immersive learning experience focused on conservation, biodiversity, and environmental science. ๐บ
The experience brought together members of the NC Wesleyan community who share a passion for environmental stewardship and global learning.
๐ Participants explored Mayan history at Xunantunich, visited the Green Iguana Conservation Project, hiked and canoed through tropical ecosystems near Monkey River, and experienced Belizeโs rich marine biodiversity through snorkeling and mangrove kayaking in Caye Caulker.
Throughout the trip, participants observed ocean and freshwater ecosystems, explored human impacts on the environment, and connected classroom concepts to real world conservation challenges. ๐ง
This experience highlights NC Wesleyanโs commitment to hands on learning, global education, environmental stewardship, and lifelong connections with its graduates.๐งฌ๐
Under the leadership of Dr. Daniel Elias, students have explored biodiversity, conservation & sustainability in Costa Rica, Iceland & now Belize!
