Ancient Forest Exploration
Journey back in time, and into one
of the most majestic and awe-inspiring habitats ever created. How do
ancient, "old-growth" forests differ from other forests? Which animals
rely on our diverse old-growth habitats for food, shelter, and clean
water? Students will handle specimens of a Flying Squirrel, Marbled
Murrelet, Pileated Woodpecker, Red Tree Vole, and other wildife endemic
to ancient forests. Students will then hike through the ancient forest
and use the knowledge they're gained for a close-up look at nurse logs,
snags, and 500-year-old trees.
