ELC provides taste of spring
'right in our own backyard*
by Russ Jones
The Print Staff
Spring has sprung and it
is time to remind everyone of a
very special resource right in our
own backyard. 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-

by today's youth. Susan Joyce, an

author, worked with the middle
school students on their writings for
the presentation.
