Tuholske Institute for Environmental Field Studies

VLGS established the Tuholske Institute in 2021 in memory of Jack Tuholske, a beloved faculty member, renowned litigator, and pioneer in field studies for environmental law students. The institute offers students a number of opportunities to study environmental law and policy through hands-on, immersive learning experiences. Our students meet with staff of international NGOs in Southeast Asia and serve as an observer delegation at the UNFCCC in Egypt. They meet with tribal leaders in Utah and hike in the public lands of Montana. They study forestry and ecosystems in our own backyard in Vermont.
