THE CARRIZO PLAIN: A THIN SLICE OF CALIFORNIA’S PAST
Interesting Facts:
1) The scenic pictures of the Carrizo Plain and its biodiversity
2) Eben McMillian’s opinion about protecting the Carrizo Plains
This is a very interesting and informative article about the Carrizo Plain. I was able imagine and see parts of the Carrizo Plain with the help of pictures and descriptions. This seems like an amazing place. It looks very flat, without shade (maybe that is why you told us to bring a hat). And the area seems very peaceful without obstructions. It must be very quite in this valley. It was hard to distinguish the many different areas of the land because the pictures are so very limited in color and direction, but I was able to understand a little more about the area we are going to visit next weekend. This has got me really excited and pumped. But I do not want to scare off all the animals and colleagues with my enthusiasm; I need to keep it on the down-low. From what I can see and interoperate from these black and white photos is a great time at Carrizo Plain.
“MAN IS LARGELY A GRASSLAND ANIMAL, HAVING SPENT MOST OF HIS EVOLUTIONARY EXISTENCE IN GRASSLANDS OR GRASSLAND-FOREST TRANSITIONS, HUNTING, GATHERING GRASSLAND FOODS, DOMESTICATING GRASSLAND ANIMALS, AND CULTIVATING GRASSLAND PLANTS.” (PAGE 94 #3)
Another interesting topic in this article was Eben McMillians comment, “What you need in the Carrizo is a good-sized preserve you can walk away from and leave lone, regardless of what happens.” He believes that nature spreads her seeds and that it is inevitable that foreign plant species will spout in the Carrizo plain because nature’s pollination system. This got me to think why have fences to protect the Wild Life Sanctuary? Why protect Yellowstone and Yosemite? Maybe if we don’t protect nature, then nature can sustain herself, if we give her enough room to do so, but will everyone give her that room without the fences and security?
