Field Research in Ecology and Evolution Diversified (FREED) is a grassroots organization that increases access to field research, outdoor and naturalist experiences, community building, and career mentorship for Indigenous, Black, and/or Racialized students. We achieve this by organizing a weeklong, overnight field course at a remote field station, where 15 undergraduate students learn field and naturalist skills. Our focus is on ecology, evolution, and conservation biology with far-ranging impacts across fields. FREED benefits undergraduate students who attend the field course, while secondarily benefiting graduate students who contribute to organizing and instructing workshop during the event.  Our aim is to provide students with a rigorous and safe field work foundation to be a competitive candidate to advance in their chosen career.
