Education and ecology will he the focus of a
series of 11 nature excursions offered In the Uni
versity's Museum of Natural History
The series represents the museum's "Learn the
Landscape" program offered every summer The
trips occur twice monthly, beginning this Sunday,
and run through September.
All trips are day-long except for one. which is a
three-day trip to Newberry Crater The other trips
are local and involve only an hour or two of dri
ving, said Joseph Minuto, one of the trip leaders
The first trip is April l), and will explore Ore
gon's coastal forests. These forests generate inter
national interest because of their rarity. Minato
said
"tt is one of the last remnants of Oregon coastal
rain forests," he said
Minato recommends that people register for the
trips early bee ause they ( ould fill up fairly quick
1\ The number of people allowed on each trip
ranges from 12 to 15 Oregon law requires that
groups traveling into a forest have a maximum of
12 people to minimize ecological damage
The museum likes to keep its field trips small
bei ause of their educational focus, Minato said
The first two trips still have openings.
The trips aim to educate people about the
archaeological history and the ecology of the
places each group visits, said Minato. He said it's
important for people to rei eive a range of knowl
edge about the environment
"We try to be well rounded when we ft« us on .1
plane," he said
Minnto stress’d the impact humans have on the
environment and emphasized wavs m which peo
ple can limit the Amount of damage they causa
while visiting natural sites
Because the trips focus on education, they
require only 0 moderate amount of physical fit
ness, but participants must he able to walk three
miles, he said Minato stressed that the trips are
geared toward adults, not t hildren. who are often
not ready to handle a dav-long educational excur
sion.

group that teaches nature education to elementary
si hoot students He also teat ties natural history
