Field experiences become pivotal moments for many learners (ie, students) in the environmental sciences (Lertzman 2002). The first introduction to a field setting for a student can range from a guided hike where students are introduced to the flora and fauna of an area, or as a team on a project outside the classroom; this can provide powerful motivators that encourage students to continue exploring the environmental sciences during their academic journey (Taylor 2018, Halliwell and Bowser 2019, Halliwell et al. 2020). However, field experiences can also demotivate, or dissuade learners from underrepresented minorities (URM) who, at times, have reported feeling isolated and discouraged from continuing in the ecological sciences (Haynes and Jacobson 2015, Hansen et al. 2018, Morales et al. 2020, Bowser and Cid 2021). Some factors that demotivate students from field experiences include financial burdens, lack of previous experience, and lack of racial/ethnic diversity within the environmental sciences. Underrepresentation is defined here in context with the National Science Foundation (NSF) annual report on Women, Minorities, and Persons with Disabilities in the Sciences and identifies African American, Hispanic American, Native American, and Pacific Islanders as underrepresented in science disciplines in proportion to their representation in the US population (NSF 2019).
