The Wildland Fire
Ecology program is a high school curriculum-based
program that allows students to observe and measure affects
of wildfire in the chaparral community of the Santa Monica
Mountains.
The program requires
teachers to attend a training workshop. Afterwards their classes
are provided equipment and training needed to conduct air,
land, and water experiments at various park sites. These areas
range from sites not burned in more than 50 years to sites
recently burned.
Students will learn
process skills used by resource management personnel. Creativity
and problem solving abilities will be emphasized. They will
also discover the importance of fire and its impact on natural
resources and their lives.
Two in-field visits
are scheduled per class throughout the school year. Each lasts
approximately 2.5 hours.
