Alpine Wright Field

Our IT-E3 group met at UCSD to introduce sensors to potential new teachers to the program. After, we headed out here to Alpine to visit Wright Field. The natural preserve area, part of land trust, is adjacent to their middle school. They are using the area for science and enviironmental studies (an elective class). Pictured are our teachers examining a vernal pool. These rare seasonaly wet habitats are home for unique flora and fauna adapted to a short wet season within an otherwise dry ecosystem.
