ENV 260 - Oregon Natural History

4 credit(s)
Oregon Natural History will introduce students to the plant and animal communities of the Pacific Northwest. Participants will learn to identify common species in local habitats ranging from the coast to the Cascades. We will use ecology, life history, and behavior to investigate the interactions that define communities. By exploring connections between geology, climate, and the biotic realm, students will gain a better understanding of and appreciation for the biodiversity of this region.
