Site Description

     This documentation provides information collected during trips to Eaton Canyon in the autumn of 2012 for my Fall semester Field Study Project at La Salle High School, Pasadena. The purpose of this is to understand the methods of field study, complete an observation, and identify evidence of living organisms. This will be accomplished through first-hand studying of the chaparral biome, which is dry and warm, and typically has dense, spiny shrubs. My particular location was a meadow-like clearing, surrounded by trees and dense shrubs. The entire meadow was filled with knee-high grass and a few lone trees dotting the landscape. I could not recognize the trees within, but the surrounding trees were primarily oak trees and western sycamores. I saw one prickly pair cactus, two deer, and one coyote. On one side, there was a tall hill, which was covered in California Buckwheat. -JR
