Who We Are

The Nielsen Environmental Field School was established in 1990 by David M. Nielsen (a hydrogeologist) and Gillian L. Nielsen (a hydrologist and aquatic biologist), who together have more than 60 years of practical field experience and more than 50 years of International teaching experience. The goal of the Field School is to provide working environmental professionals with the highest level of practical, hands-on environmental field training to help them advance their careers.  The philosophy of the Field School is that the best way to truly learn how to do field work is to "learn by doing" from professionals who possess field experience and teaching skills, and who focus on teaching the most up-to-date technologies and methodologies in a clear and logical manner. Field School training programs have earned the highest praise from the toughest critics -- your colleagues and peers. As you read the detailed information provided for each course on this web site, you will have the chance to read the testimonials of hundreds of past students to see why our courses are second to none.

What We Do

Practical, Hands-On Open-Enrollment Field Training

From our base in Las Cruces, New Mexico, Nielsen Environmental Field School staff travel across the U.S. to instruct numerous hands-on open-enrollment environmental field training programs on a wide variety of subject areas of utmost concern to the working environmental professional.  Our open-enrollment field courses are held in the Spring every year at carefully selected locations across the U.S. that have proven to be popular destinations with our students and where we have established field sites. Depending on staff availability, open-enrollment field courses may also be held in the Fall, after the busy summer field season.
