Unearthing Changing Environments

Join this educator workshop to learn more about the active research being conducted at La Brea Tar Pits. You will hear from two scientists, Dr. Regan Dunn and Dr. Jessie George, as they have helped uncover more answers about how the environment has changed over time in Los Angeles through the use of paleobotany. We will then go behind the scenes and meet with excavators at Project 23 and preparators at the Fossil Lab to see the collaboration required to find out this information. Educators will have the chance to connect over breakfast, participate in discussion around classroom application of the topic, and receive teaching resources.
