Abstract:
|
A field guide is always a handy , but rare , little document , especially for a secondary educator . Therefore , the purpose of this project was to research , develop , write and present this document , for the Landels -Hill Big Creek Reserve . The University of California Natural Reserve System oversees thirty -six multi -acre , natural reserves . One part of the overall mission of these reserves is an educational outreach program in which curriculum is made available to the school systems . The curriculum is to be used to educate the students about each specific reserve area , to engage students in learning about their environment and to create an awareness of the need for conservation of wild areas . The final products from this research are a secondary -level geology guidebook , for students , with suggested classroom and in -field lessons , specifically written for the Landels -Hill Big Creek Reserve , Big Sur , California , along with a revised and updated geologic map of the Reserve and a teaching rock collection , for use at the Reserve . |
