[Past Event] Watershed Geology | Palo Corona Regional Park
Course Description:Watersheds are vitally important to the natural environment as they channel rainfall, snowmelt and runoff into a common body of water. Join us as we observe the Carmel River watershed in action via a guided walk with environmental scientist Jimmy Guilinger. Along the way, we'll learn the basics of what makes a watershed, how it’s formed, and how humans and natural earth processes can change rivers, streams and wetlands. (Note: We’ll meet at the Palo Corona Discovery Center. Involves walking approximately 3 miles with an elevation change of 100 feet.) |
