Sagehen Creek Field Station

11 Oct, 01 AM - 31 Oct, 07 AM

We propose to bring a group of 5th graders from Truckee Elementary School for a day visit to explore natural history at Sagehen. Activities may include nature hikes, scavenger hunts, bird watching, collecting and observing insects with a variety of techniques (sweep nets, aerial nets, pitfall traps, night lighting), live trapping small mammals, sampling aquatic insects in the creek, and collecting and identifying common plants. Only small numbers of common plants or insects will be collected and so collecting activities will have minimal impact on populations. All other activities are observational and therefore have little or no impact on populations. This group will be led by Ryan Hill, a graduate student familiar with the site, and assisted by a second graduate student. The classroom teacher (Candy Blesse) will attend the trip and there may be one or two parent chaperones.
