Kids' Guide to the National Parks of California and Oregon

Jenna M. Sullivan and Laura C. Sullivan (2001), E&S Geographic and Information Services, Corvallis, Oregon, 116 pp.

This one-of-a-kind publication highlights fun things for kids to do as you explore the national parklands of California and Oregon.  Join 12-year-old Jenna Sullivan and her 14-year-old sister, Laura, in their explorations throwughout nine of our west coast national treasures.  While accompanying their parents on a trip that entailed work for the National Park Service on the natural resources of these parks, Jenna and Laura decided to do a little scientific research of their own.  The fruits of their labor, together with detailed journal entries, are cleverly crafted into a delightful tale describing the trip of a lifetime for two nature-loving kids with curious minds and boundless energy.  Their scientific understanding of the geology, vegetation, and wildlife of the parks belies their young ages, and they share countless insights into natural resource issues such as air pollution, acid rain, fire ecology, wildlife habitat, plant ecology, and resource management.
