Hastings Natural History Reservation

30 Apr, 05 AM - 02 May, 05 AM

The purpose of this trip is to introduce a class of students from Pittsburg High School tot he diversity of organisms that live in the wildlands of California, and to techniques for studying this diversity. An additionalpart of our overall program is to develop a collection of natural history objects (insects and plant specimens, vertebrate dign, photos and observations) that the students will analyze, curate, and display at their school. Specific activities have not yet been finalized, but will center around sampling and comparing insect, plant and vertebrate diversity in different habitats. Through these field trips, lessons conducted by graduate students in the high school classroom, and the students' own work and ownership ofthe collections, we hope to enhance their experience with and understanding of biology and natural history, increase their appreciation of California's biodiversity, and, perhaps, open some pathways into further study of science.
