Merced Vernal Pools and Grassland Reserve

09 Apr, 11 AM - 09 Apr, 04 PM

From September 11th to the 13th, the UCM Wilderness Education Center partnered with the office of Women's Programs to take 11 young women from UCM on a backpacking trip geared towards empowering young women on a backpacking trip in Yosemite National Park. On November 7th, those young women will be getting back together for a reunion on the Merced Vernal Pools and Grassland Reserve. This reunion will be an opportunity for them to connect with a natural space in their own backyard and to reconnect with one another.The group will hike onto the reserve as a group, lead by Angi Baxter, coordinator of Women's Programs, and Jessica Rivas, a ranger from the UC Merced Wilderness Education Center. The women will be introduced to the plant and animal life on the reserve and will be given multiple opportunities to reflect on their experience by answering written prompts in a journal.
