Gathering of samples and data conducted in the Sierra National Forest, camping/working alongside field ecologists from the National Ecological Observation Network (Neon) and UCLA graduate students. Data collected contributes to the nation's largest open-source environmental dataset and is used by researchers, policy makers, and educators around the world.
