    Big Morongo Research Paper

    Too often considered monotonous “drive-over country”, California’s deserts are actually quite varied and richly reward those who make the effort to know them. Winter temperatures in the south tend to warm, sunny days and cool, clear nights, so “three-season” clothing and equipment are usually adequate for outdoor activities. Just west of Joshua Tree National Park is Big Morongo Canyon Preserve, a relatively unvisited park holding a true oasis in the desert due to a fault that forces groundwater to the surface. Unlike the smaller and tidier palm oases in the nearby national park and in the Coachella Valley to the south, Big Morongo is a riot of greenery, a veritable jungle covering hundreds of acres. (The entire preserve is about 31,000 acres.)…

    Sugar Land Research Paper

    Just east of the Brazos River, lies the land now known as Sugar Land. It was originally owned by the Mexican government and was acquired by Stephen F. Austin after Texas won its independence from Mexico. As a reward, Austin gave the land to Samuel M. Williams in 1828 for his dedicated service (Anhaiser). The land was rich with tall sugar cane, which explains the name. Williams brother, Nathanial, purchased the land from him in 1838 and at some point, built the Oakland Plantation.…

    Southwest Louisiana Research Paper

    Southwest Louisiana is characterized by extensive coastal marshland interrupted by numerous forests atop relict beach ridges, or chenier ridges, and natural ridges or levees. The cheniers of southwest Louisiana and the natural ridges of southeast Louisiana are unique geological features that are critical components of the ecology of these areas. They support a diversity of wildlife and, because of their location along important migration pathways, are especially important for Neotropical migratory songbirds. Available long term data sets reveal population declines among many migratory landbirds species over the past quarter century ().…

    Why Is Coyote Hills Important?

    California is a state that consists of countless historical landmarks that have been preserved in order to better understand the heritage of that specific site. Preservation is a way for people to recycle land and buildings in order to teach people about the resources that were once used in the past. People observe and learn through the preservation of landmarks so that important details such as traditions, rituals, languages, and skills can be incorporated into our present and future time periods. Out of many captivating historical landmarks, I chose to visit Coyote Hills Regional Park because I wanted to learn more about its importance. Coyote Hills is a significant part of history because it teaches society that in spite of the invasion and the genocide that the Ohlone Indians underwent, decedents of the tribes are now connecting with their communities by sharing their land and history with society.…

    Personal Narrative Essay: The Powerful Colorado River

    As the powerful Colorado River churned beneath me, as it has for centuries, and the relentless sun peaked over the top of the North Rim, I could not help but feel astounded. I was in a timeless place: a place disconnected from the society I had left behind miles ago. Down here, in the lowest section of the Grand Canyon, it was just me, my friends, and the heat. Always the heat. We had started our journey, a run from the Grand Canyon’s North Rim to the South Rim, at 4 AM in a futile attempt to avoid the skyrocketing temperature and finish before the sun became the determining factor in the success of our venture.…
