Mount Hood Field Trip | Friday, May 29th
Learn about the biogeography and geomorphology of Mount Hood!
FOG is organizing a long half-day trip on Friday, May 29th to (most likely) head up Mount Hood and learn about biogeography, ecology, soils and geomorphology.
We plan to rent a van, so make sure to RSVP so we know who wants to go. Although at this point the specific itinerary is still to be decided, we need to know the number of participants and whether to rent or carpool.
