PCT Megatransect: An 18-Year Journey of Discovery and Research

Join us on an epic 1,700-mile journey along the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) as we hike the entire length of California! In this video, we explore the diverse environments of the PCT, conduct important bird-habitat surveys, and share the profound impact this trail has had on our lives over the past 18 years. From breathtaking landscapes to the challenges of wilderness life, discover how our student-researchers engage in meaningful ecological research and learn valuable life lessons. Support our mission to protect the wild character of the PCT and track the effects of environmental change on bird populations. Subscribe and join our adventure!
