About the Network
Following graduation from college, Thoreau Scholars are inducted into our alumni association – the Henry David Thoreau Society for the Environment. Whether researching whale behavior in Iceland, tracking the bushmeat crisis in sub-Saharan Africa, conducting geological studies in the Gobi Desert, crafting environmental policy in Texas, or creating urban planning designs in New York City, our alumni are orchestrating impressive research, engaging in scholarly collaboration, and shaping environmental outcomes across the globe.
As members of this lifelong association, our alumni remain connected and keep up with their fellow Thoreau Scholars, providing opportunities for environmental networking and idea exchange among all Thoreau Scholars, past and present.

Coastal Georgia is a biodiversity hotspot that is experiencing rapid population growth and coastal squeeze. As human pressures such as development and nutrient pollution increase along the coastline, it is critical to engage students with hands-on experiences and creative thinking to communicate about these problems and address them.
