NATURAL HISTORY WITH CLC
For the 27th time, this year the College of Lake County is offering a credit
course based on a wilderness experience on the Appalachian Trail and connecting
trails in Mt. Rogers National Recreation Area in Virginia. Here is a chance
for you to learn to identify a wide variety of organisms while hiking in some
of the most picturesque locations in North America. This trip visits an area
which has an unbelievable variety of plants, animals, and geologic settings.
We will have the opportunity to take photographs of wild orchids in bloom, spectacular
waterfalls, salamanders, snails and giant colonies of club moss. We will hike
along the edge of a 600 million year old volcano and view the results of recent
human activity.
TRANSFERRABLE CREDIT
Students wishing to participate must enroll in BIO 128 for three semester hours
credit. This credit can be transferred as an elective.
NO PREREQUISITE
The only prerequisites are a desire to participate and permission of the instructor.
Students with little to no experience in camping, hiking, or field biology are
encouraged to participate.
EASY REGISTRATION

beginning in April. In order to guarantee yourself a place in the class, you
