meeting, the Fall 2019 Eco-Adventure course gathered for the first time to meet each other and set clear expectations for the upcoming weeks. On this night, we were entertained by lectures from <a href=\"\/academics\/environmental-science\/faculty\/leslie-eldridge\/\">Leslie Eldridge<\/a> and <a href=\"\/academics\/biology\/faculty\/john-roden\/\">Dr. John Roden<\/a> of 麻豆传媒女神. Leslie introduced us to the California Coastal Redwoods and all the unique aspects of the ancient forests, then Dr. Roden shared his <a href=\"\/academics\/environmental-science\/research\/\">research<\/a> on coastal redwood paleo-botany and paleo-climatology. We concluded the evening by picking our topics for a mini-research project due the following Thursday before the class meets again.<\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/SOU-Students-Eco-Adventure-Redwoods.webp 700w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/SOU-Students-Eco-Adventure-Redwoods-300x150.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/SOU-Students-Eco-Adventure-Redwoods.jpg\" height=\"350\" width=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/SOU-Students-Eco-Adventure-Redwoods.jpg 700w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/SOU-Students-Eco-Adventure-Redwoods-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-71194 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"SOU Students Eco Adventure Redwoods\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p>The following week, students were deep into the book <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Wild_Trees\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8220;Wild Trees&#8221;<\/a> learning about the stories and history of tree climbing, tree naming, and forest canopy research in the Redwoods National and State Parks and in forest canopies around the world. Thursday\u2019s class supported extremely passionate speakers. Dr. Michael Parker of the <a href=\"\/academics\/environmental-science\/faculty\/\">SOU faculty<\/a> taught the class about the coastal stream ecology of the Smith River and Dr. Kevin Soland of Humboldt State shared his interesting life story of becoming a world-class florist to working in oil fields and traveling everywhere in-between until he arrived at Humboldt state studying the Redwood&#8217;s hydrologic response to restoration and thinning.

Meeting early Friday morning with sleep in the eye, we headed to the Northern Coast of California with two twelve-passenger vans and a trailer in tow. Arriving in the late morning, we made lunch and spent the afternoon with Brett Silver and a recreation management class from Sacramento State University. Brett Silver, the Deputy District Superintendent of the California State Parks North Coast Redwoods District, spoke to students about issues in the National State parks and how the National and State Parks came together.

Jumping off rocks and learning about the native history in the area, the afternoon was soon upon us.<\/p>\n<p>Before a river-side lunch, we toured through the infamous Stout Grove where some of our group ended up inside the hollow trunk of a Redwood! Our river guides shared local information on aquatic wildlife and insights into local history.<\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/SOU-Eco-Adventure-Fall-2019-Kayak-Smith-River.webp 700w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/SOU-Eco-Adventure-Fall-2019-Kayak-Smith-River-300x150.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/SOU-Eco-Adventure-Fall-2019-Kayak-Smith-River.jpg\" height=\"350\" width=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/SOU-Eco-Adventure-Fall-2019-Kayak-Smith-River.jpg 700w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/SOU-Eco-Adventure-Fall-2019-Kayak-Smith-River-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-71201 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"SOU Eco Adventure Fall 2019 Kayak Smith River\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p>We concluded our day on the water and quickly changed pace to hiking in the Simpson-Reed Grove with a national park naturalist.

We finished our night with chili, Rice Krispies treats, apple crumble, and lively meaningful conversations.<\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/SOU-Eco-Adventure-Park-Ranger-Redwood-Tree.webp 1024w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/SOU-Eco-Adventure-Park-Ranger-Redwood-Tree-300x141.webp 300w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/SOU-Eco-Adventure-Park-Ranger-Redwood-Tree-768x360.webp 768w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/SOU-Eco-Adventure-Park-Ranger-Redwood-Tree-705x330.webp 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/SOU-Eco-Adventure-Park-Ranger-Redwood-Tree.jpg\" height=\"480\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/SOU-Eco-Adventure-Park-Ranger-Redwood-Tree.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/SOU-Eco-Adventure-Park-Ranger-Redwood-Tree-300x141.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/SOU-Eco-Adventure-Park-Ranger-Redwood-Tree-768x360.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/12\/SOU-Eco-Adventure-Park-Ranger-Redwood-Tree-705x330.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-71200 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"SOU Eco Adventure Park Ranger Redwood Tree\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p>Before we left the Redwoods (and after some quiet universal agreement), we drove out to the beach and raced in the sand.
