In response to a Board of Trustees request for information and recommendations concerning the future use of the Gold Creek property owned by the Los Angeles Community College District, this report emphasizes that the use of this site for instructional field experiences enhances the quality of environmental education for the district's diverse metropolitan student body. Included in the report are descriptions of the history and characteristics of the property, the uses of the site, the advantages and limitations of Gold Creek for instructional use, and alternative plans. Disciplines using the property include anthropology, biology, botany, earth science, entomology, environmental science, geology, meteorology, microbiology, natural resources management, and zoology.
