Interdisciplinary Galena Creek Park Field Studies...
In this class, we will be collaborating with the Great Basin Institute to visit, learn about, explore, and become experts on The Galena Creek Park Recreation Area, and Nevada and California wilderness areas beyond. Set on the foothill of Mt. Rose, Galena Creek Regional Park and its visitor center aim to encourage understanding, appreciation, and wise use of the natural, cultural, and historical resources of the Galena Canyon area and the Mt. Rose Scenic Byway. Our class will take part in many activities and projects including, but not limited to, leading interpretive and seasonal programs through the visitor center, discover local animals, plants, birds, fish, rocks, and cultural history through hands-on games, hikes, guided activities, and special guests, explore other area parks, do “Learn & Serve” projects, help with the Campfire Series, lead naturalist hikes, and more. The Great Basin Institute is an interdisciplinary field studies organization that promotes environmental research, education, and conservation throughout the West. The Institute advances ecological literacy and habitat restoration through educational outreach and direct service programs. This class will be taking field trips to the park and other natural areas approximately every other week on Fridays, so a flexible school schedule is mandatory.
