Cottonwood Canyons FoundationTrails. Online. Ecology on the Trail

This five-part series teaches science concepts while utilizing the environment and trails in the Cottonwood Canyons. The Trails. Online. program is designed to be a guide to learn different aspects of science in a place-based setting. Each part of the series includes curricula with naturalist facts covering geology, history, wildlife, trees and plants, watershed awareness, and information about human impact. Each part of the series also includes a map to a trail in either Big or Little Cottonwood Canyons. These maps suggest stopping points, drawing back to the material in the curriculum. Each part of the series also includes hands-on activity sections and bonus information, linking web-based educational resources such as the Leave No Trace Principles.

Our Snowshoe with a Naturalist Volunteers have mad Our Snowshoe with a Naturalist Volunteers have made this season awesome! We are so grateful to them for all their time and energy which they gave to those they served. Thank you for being knowledgeable, flexible, dedicated, and FUN! 
Our early spring showed us American Dippers, Brook and Brown Trout, Beaver-chewed trees, fresh scat, moose, Spring Fungus emerging and covering the ground, Feather Moss, and all of our amazing trees. Students were able to identify trees by their cones, needles, and bark. We saw budding Aspens. We snowshoed until the very end of our season and continued to explore as the spring emergent plants and animals appeared. There’s always something to explore in our canyons and protected watershed!
