First WildLink Expedition
In Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park.
They were
snowed on. The ten hikers were thrilled! Most had never seen
snow before and their clothing, tents and a campfire kept
them warm. John Lockhart, Director of the Sequoia Field Institute
and Jocelyn Gretz, WildLink's expedition leader led the students
from Reedley and Woodlake High School into the wilderness
of Sequoia National Park where the students saw a bear, tested
water and air quality and experienced wilderness at its Fall
best.
John Lockhart called the expedition "a definite success,
exactly what we wanting to do (educating central valley youth
about the Park). I walked away with that 'I’ve
made a difference feeling'. The students were outstanding."
