Project description: This is a tour of the Bernard Field Station, organized by the Pitzer Ecology Center, in honor of Earth Day. Paul Faulstich has agreed to guide interested students from the 5 colleges on Wednesday the 21st, meeting first at 4:15 in front of the clocktower on Pitzer campus. This event is in collaboration for a week long earth celebration on the campuses. We would love to utilize the wonderful resource which is the field station- exploring the native habitat of the area, located so close to the schools. We want to share this environment, providing a unique opportunity for people to experience the real nature of the area, in an all around appreciation of our earth.
