Sierra College Nature Area and Trail Established 1967 Sierra College's Nature Area and Trail is known as an excellent living example of the Sierra Nevada Foothill Woodland and Riparian Plant Communities. Established by the Sierra College Board of Trustees as an "Outdoor Laboratory" and widely recognized as a valuable natural resource for educational purposes, the Nature Area and Trail has a long history of use by the community, elementary schools and a wide variety of college classes (biology, forestry, art, geography, interdisciplinary, agriculture, English, physical education, anthropology, photography, horticulture, geology, and others). The Nature Area and Trail are the Northern region of the Sierra College Rocklin Campus properties. |
