Who?

EXPEDITION III was in Yosemite National Park for the week of December 1-6, 2000. Participating schools included Reseda and Tokay High Schools. Their study area was historic Hite's Cove in Sierra National Forest. Hite's Cove was a booming mining town during the second California gold rush in the second half of the nineteenth century.

• met new people from diverse backgrounds and different high schools
• learned how to backpack using Leave No Trace principles
• collected hydrology data for the GLOBE program and for the Forest Service
• completed an archaeological monitoring project for the Forest Service
• learned about the flora and fauna of a natural area in the Sierra National Forest
