Description:

4 credits This course explores the geology, plants and animals of Oregon in three geographical areas: Central Oregon, the Willamette Valley and the coast. A comparison of these different habitats is made by discovering the similarities and differences in the geology, flora, and fauna. By going on field trips to each area, students will learn how to identify various plants, fish, birds and mammals. Environmental awareness of local problems and possible solutions will be discussed especially with the Northwest-related problems of salmon decline and cutting of the old growth forests. Class discussions, student research and field trips will be a major part of this class.
