Life on the Shady Side:
The twists and turns of Walnut Canyon create a patchwork of sun and shadow to which plants and animals respond. On this side of the "island," you walk in shaded forest among ponderosa pine and moisture-loving Douglas fir trees. Just across the canyon, desert dwellers like juniper and yucca grow on hot, dry, sunny slopes.
How many different plants and animals have you seen already? Chances are, all would have been used in some way for food, clothing, shelter, or tools and utilitarian objects. |
