The partnership that the National Collegiate Honors Council entered into with the National Park Service almost a decade ago, when the Partners in the Parks program was created, has immeasurably enriched the lives of undergraduate honors students and faculty from throughout the United States and abroad. This second edition of NCHC’sPartners in the Parks: Field Guide to an Experiential Program in the National Parks has recorded with delight the pedagogy, relationships, anecdotes, photographs, journal entries, essays, poetic expressions, and intellectual and ethical devel- opment that have emerged from this educational partnership and the PITP experience. We hope that this book reflects NCHC’s appreciation for all that a host of NPS rangers and other staff members have done to wel- come honors students and faculty into this nation’s national parks and to assist with and enrich these Partners in the Parks adventures. We thank NPS for allowing America’s national parks to become our honors classroom. The National Collegiate Honors Council salutes the National Park Service for all that it has done to fulfill its mission to preserve “unim- paired the natural and cultural resources and values of the national park system for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations.” We cherish this relationship and anticipate that it will endure and thrive throughout the second hundred years of the National Park Service. With deepest gratitude, Dr. Jerry Herron, President Dr. Hallie Savage, Executive Director National Collegiate Honors Council ix acknowledgments This monograph is the collaborative effort of people who have led and participated in Partners in the Parks programs all around the country. The contributors to our first edition provided words, experi- ence, and encouragement, and many have continued to do so through the creation of our second edition, especially Bill Atwill, Joan Digby, and Kathleen King. With the second edition, we have increased the voices of students (Emily Blair, Dalton Dorrell, Anjelica Harlow, Josh LaMore, Chloé Margulis, and Dana Reid) and rangers (Con- nie Rudd, Alysia Schmidt, and Dalton Dorrell); we have also added new faculty perspectives (Melissa Antinori, Kristy Biolsi, Laura Harrington, Brook Kelly, Kathleen Nolan, and Alison Mills Wil- lis) to longtime PITP faculty (Bill Atwill, James P. Clarke, Kathleen King, Johnny MacLean, and Brian White). All have generously con- tributed their ideas and experience so that others may find in this model encouragement to participate in existing Partners in the Parks programs and to propose new adventures. A special debt of thanks is owed to Matt Nickerson and Todd Petersen, who oversaw these explorations and were our gurus and guides for many of the journeys. For years, their home institution, Southern Utah University, has been a most generous contributor to this program, for which we are extremely thankful. Matt, Todd, and SUU have influenced countless faculty and students with their pas- sion, knowledge, and vision, and all of us who have come to know and embrace this program will forever be in their debt. We are also grateful to have Paul Roelandt, Superintendent at Cedar Breaks National Monument, as our liaison with the National Park Service. He presents our proposals to the many park officers, rangers, and staff members who have shown us every courtesy imag- inable. Our thanks to all at NPS who have enlightened our groups with their expertise and helped this program grow. NPS Rangers have shared their passion, enthusiasm, and commitment to their jobs xi Acknowledgments with countless students and faculty and are an integral part of this program’s success. From the outset the National Collegiate Honors Council has encouraged and supported PITP with funding and advertising and stewarded the efforts of this standing committee for many years. As PITP’s organization has fully transitioned from SUU to the NCHC national office, we celebrate the full partnership that has developed.

They, however, only observed the Sierra Nevada mountains. None entered the high terrain where the giant Sequoia exist. Only one explorer came close to the Sierra Nevadas. In 1806 Ensign Gabriel Moraga, venturing into the foothills, crossed and named the Rio de la Santos Reyes (River of the Holy Kings) or Kings River. Americans in the San Joaquin Valley The first band of Americans entered the Valley in 1827 when Jedediah Smith and a group of fur traders traversed it from south to north. This journey ushered in the first American frontier as fifteen years of fur trapping followed. Still, none of these men reported sighting the giant trees. It was not until 1833 that members of the Joseph R. 1lalker expedition crossed the Sierra Nevadas and received credit as the first whites to See the Sequoia trees. These trees are presumed to form part of either the present M"rced or Tuolwnregroves. Others did not learn of their find since Walker's group failed to report their discovery.

The journal promotes multi- disciplinary research in the Arts and Education and arose out of a recognised need for knowledge sharing in the field. The publication of diverse arts and cultural experiences within a multi-disciplinary context informs the development of future initiatives in this expanding field. There are many instances where the arts work successfully in collaboration with formerly non-traditional partners such as the sciences and health care, and this peer-reviewed journal aims to publish examples of excellence. Valuable contributions from international researchers are providing evidence of the impact of the arts on individuals, groups and organisations across all sectors of society. The UNESCO Observatory refereed e-journal is a clearing house of research which can be used to support advocacy processes; to improve practice; influence policy making, and benefit the integration of the arts in formal and non- formal educational systems across communities, regions and countries.
