Natural History Report on Sierra Nevada Trip

Feb. 6, 2000 Natural History Report on Sierra Nevada Trip On the first weekend of February 2000 I went on a 2-day adventure with my Environmental Science class to Sequoia National Park. Located along the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range in northeastern California, we camped overnight in the area of Lodgepole. The weather in Lodgepole was fairly mild for this time of year with overnight lows in the mid-40’s. The foot-hill forest there consisted of broad leave trees …

…this was my third visit to Sequoia Park but by far the most educating ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography** As we made our way up through the Giant Forest of the Sequoia, the elevation reached over 5,000 feet, which made it possible to see some conifer tree communities. We drove by white fir, red fir, sugar pine, lodgepole pine, ponderosa pine, incense cedar, and of course, the giant sequoias. We stopped to admire the trees of the Giant Forest.
