Sagehen Creek Field Station

10 Oct, 05 AM - 12 Oct, 09 AM

Ryan Hill will be leading two day visits by Truckee elementary school 5th graders. He will arrive at Sagehen on Oct 10 to prepare for the students, lead the field trips on Oct 11 and 12, and depart at the end of the day on Oct 12. Activities undertaken by Ryan Hill 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. Ryan is a graduate student very familiar with the site. He may be accompanied by a second graduate student to assist with the field activities.
