It is the John Inskeep Environmental Learning Center. For those of you who are familiar with the attractions and services available, this is just a reminder to take some time and wander toe paths and bridges of the 15-acre nature area or revisit the Birds of Prey exhibit. For those of you who are not familiar with this unique resource, I’d like to take a little of your time and introduce you to an interesting way to spend some time. Also known as the Wild life and Technology Museum of the Pacific Northwest, the ELC, which is located in the northeast comer of the campus between the Art Center and Clairmont Hall, is the product cf a long-term effort which reclaimed an oldtindustrial site. Today it covers over 15 acres of landscaped terrain including a large fish-bearing pond, all built with nature in mind.i The center features over a mile of nature trails which wander through a park-like scene filled with native shrubs and plants designed to enhance the wildlife habitat. Additional attractions at the center include a demonstra tions wetlands area and stream rehabilitation project, a Native Plants and Wetlands Nursery, a fish hatchery that raises salmon and rainbow trout, a River Re sources Museum and an astro nomical observatory featuring the second-largest reflecting telescope in the Pacific Northwest. A Birds of Prey facility provides a home for many non-releasable raptors including hawks, owls and bald eagles which are available for public viewing and educational presentations. For recyclers, the center provides a full-line recycling cen ter and a newly opened Resource Conservation Institute and Mu seum which features exhibits and technological information on re source conservation and recycling. For businesses, clubs or private individuals, the center fea tures a lake-side education hall which can be rented. With a capacity of 200 and audio-visual aids, toe hall, which overlooks the serenity of toe pond, trees and wildlife, is an ideal location for meetings, seminars or social gath erings such as weddings. The ELC also conducts nearly lOOcollege-levelclassesin the areas of resource conserva tion, plants and animals, and lo- cal geology and history. Over the coming summer, the center will feature many new classes, includ ing such diverse subjects as hum mingbird and butterfly gardens, cooking with herbs, astronomy and animal tracking. In addition to these onsite classes, several sum mer field trips are scheduled as well. As I mentioned at toe outset of this feature, for those of you who are familiar with the ELC and the many things it offers to the college and the community, stop by and say hello. For those of you whohave yet to visit this unique and valu able area resource, take some time to drop by and discover all of the thingsl have mentioned andmore. Questions regarding ELC services or classes will be gladly answeredonsiteorcall657- 6958, ext 2351. photo by Anjanetie Booth Clackamas drama students joined forces with local middle school drama students to perform two shows in which they voiced their concerns about the challenges faced by today's youth.
