The Environmental Science AP class partnered with the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy to learn about the science of habitat restoration. Students visited the Alta Vicente Reserve in Rancho Palos Verdes where they learned to identify native and non-native organisms as well as learn about the local ecology. They collected percent cover data from areas of the reserve that were in various stages of the restoration process. They also made phenology assessments to be used for a comparative analysis with data that will be collected during a follow-up visit this spring. The Environmental Science AP class has been collecting data from this site for the past four years. Click for slideshow.
