About the program
Students will travel from the east to the west end of the Gorge, learning from local educators about the flora and fauna as well as the geological and human forces that have shaped it. Students will also practice the skills of a naturalist, including observation and interpretation.
The course includes seven sessions: April 5 and 19, May 17 and 31, July 26, Aug. 30 and Sept. 27.
Sessions are all day and occur on Sundays. Continuing education credit is available for teachers. Applications are due March 1.
