California Naturalist Class

Sierra Foothill Conservancy is sponsoring a California Naturalist class this Spring. I'm one of the lucky participants in this six week course. So far we have had four two hour classes and four field trips. I'm really enjoying the company of fellow naturalists and our instructors have been top notch. For my capstone project, I plan on continuing my survey of plants, animals, fungi, and geology of the foothills and mountains of the Sierra. I will be focusing on the area west of the LeConte/White Divide and east of Courtright and Wishon Reservoirs in the Sierra National Forest, an area ripe for exploration. For an idea of what I have done so far, see previous iNat journal entries. It amazes me that I am responsible for one third (82 of 252) of iNat first observations in Sierra National Forest. I couldn't have done it without help from fellow iNat members. (http://www.inaturalist.org/places/sierra-national-forest)
