REALMS at Ryan Ranch

We had two beautiful days for the first field trips that the 7th graders took to Ryan Ranch. Students were able to explore and discover the secrets of Ryan Ranch. The students learned a little about the history of the giant meadow and they began learning about the plants that can be found along the Deschutes River. This week, they will be putting their new knowledge into action while they collect vegetation data along six different transects. REALMS students will compare and contrast the differences and similarities between the meadow and the pine forest. They will compile their data in order to compare it to last year's student collected data collected. Hopefully, the days will be sunny and warm for the students. Stay tuned for fun pictures from our next two field days...
