| The goals of this course are to expose students both to the ecology, and natural history of California wildland ecosystems AND to the challenges of managing these systems for conservation values. We will explore what is known about controls over the structure, dynamics and composition of plant and animal communities in selected California
environments and some of the constraints and conflicts in managing these habitats for conservation purposes. The Friday meeting time includes 5 field trips and 5 discussions with managers and visiting scientists who will explore how ecological knowledge is used to manage wildland habitat or threatened species.
