About Our Researchers

48 Oregon Episcopal School Fifth Grade Researchers visited Hancock Field Station in the Eastern Oregon High Desert for five days in May, 2005. The station is located between Antelope and Fossil, Oregon in the Clarno Unit of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. Equipped with digital cameras and journals they recorded their experiences as they did field research for five hours each day. Once back at OES they shared their knowledge and photos, and this website was created.
