# 1: Crawford Beck Vineyard
The Crawford Beck vineyard field trip is designed to show
how teachers of bioscience can incorporate agricultural sciences into their
classroom. A well-managed farm
incorporates aspects of every science from geology, genetics, microbiology,
geography, hydrology, meteorology, ecology, botany, plant physiology, physics,
and chemistry. Focus will be put on soil studies, sustainability, and the
microbiome, as well as numerous other fascinating topics. This trip will be jam packed with information,
whether we can do all of this in three hours in uncertain, but we do promise
time enough for a wine tasting at the end!

#2: Yamhill Watershed:Legacy Oak Prairie Habitat Restoration
From time immemorial, the Kalapuya
people of the Willamette Valley used controlled fires to manage the local
landscape, creating an idyllic expanse of nearly 1 million acres of open
grassland prairies dotted by scatterings of majestic, umbrella-shaped Oregon
white oak trees. As these ecosystems now
represent less than 1% of their historic range and the diversity of species
that rely on these habitats are in peril, efforts to preserve and enhance
remnant oak prairie habitats are more important than ever before. Join us for a tour and hike of a local Oak
Prairie habitat restoration site and learn about the tools that modern day
natural resource practitioners use to preserve and restore the landscapes of
the past.

walk between the breweries.
