Santa Cruz Island Research Project 2022
Leaders led a discussion on "Passive Recovery of Vegetation after Herbivore Eradication on Santa Cruz Island, California" (Beltran 2014) and "Some Ecological Effects of Feral Sheep on Santa Cruz Island, California, USA" (Van Vuren & Coblentz 1987) with students who were interested in joining the project. Reading and discussing these papers was essential to the participation of this project because they give an in-depth background to the natural history of Santa Cruz Island as well as describing the original transects and sampling methods in which this project intends to replicate to help further inform post-grazing plant recovery.
Students developed a growing interest in this project and this workshop promoted a lively discussion about the effects of grazing and restoration ecology.
