Students in the Forest Ecology class traveled to south Georgia to visit the Jones Ecological Research Center. In addition to visiting a cypress swamp and a prescribed burn in a longleaf pine forest, the class learned about the importance of the longleaf-wiregrass ecosystem to amphibians such as the tiger salamander and reptiles such as the gopher tortoise. In this picture the class is sending a camera down into the gopher tortoise burrow to see if anyone is home.
