The first field station of its kind in Virginia’s Clinch River Valley, the CREEC is managed by the University of Virginia’s College at Wise and is nestled on the banks of the Clinch River, one of the most biodiverse freshwater ecosystems in North America. The field station provides opportunities for education, research and experiential learning in biology, ecology and related fields for community college, college and university students, and for K-12 students and teachers.
