Nature Knowledge

Last weekend some friends and I attended a Nature Knowledge workshop in the San Bernardino Mountains outside Los Angeles. Below is just a sample of the nature knowledge we acquired: the name of every flower family; plants in forests, chaparral, and riparian (river) ecosystems; a scientific hypothesis of when the "big one" (earthquake) will shake California; mountain bird songs of birds in the San Bernardino Mountains; how to identify butterflies and river larva (stoneflies, mayflies); and how much hot chocolate a human tummy can digest. Enjoy some pictures!
