This course is intended for the student who has an interest in the natural world and the ecological relationships of the organisms found within it. The course emphasizes the natural habitats of Southern California and the plants and animals associated with them. Also discussed is the impact human beings have had upon these natural habitats. Field work utilizes the Rio Hondo College Wildlife Sanctuary which allows students to gather original data through firsthand observation and experience. Several additional more distant trips requiring driving explore some of the variety of natural habitats in Southern California.
