What We Do

Environmental Studies on the Piedmont (ES) is a research, education and conservation organization. 

At home just north of Warrenton, Virginia, we promote wildlife conservation in the Piedmont region through model habitat conservation projects on our field station.  Worldwide, through the Swan Research Program, we conduct internationally recognized research studies about our native northern swans, collaborating with both national and international organizations, while maintaining a research collection of over 100 swans of eight kinds. 

Through community education programs emphasizing hands-on activities, we bring the scientist and the public together again in a rediscovery of common interests and shared goals.
