This week, our TCE Environmental Science class headed to Cluan Tier to study forest ecology, with the help of the Forest Education Foundation. Cluan Tier is located in Golden Valley and its changing altitude means that all of the main Tasmanian forest types are found within a short distance of each other.
The warm, sunny weather presented ideal conditions for students to apply various field techniques learned in class. In addition to their field studies, students discussed biodiversity, contextualised their understanding of biotic and abiotic factors, and gained insights into the complexity of forest management.
I would like to thank Darcy and the Forest Education Foundation for providing our students with the opportunity to conduct field work in such unique and beautiful environments.
