Over the six week session we will look at various aspects of Emigration Canyon's natural history and how they have influenced human activity. This includes a general discussion of the canyon's different environments, the geography and geology that have helped to create them, and the abundant plant, bird, and wildlife species that inhabit them. We will also consider how pending land use decisions in the canyon may affect its future.
