School and Group Programs
Student Research and Monitoring
School groups may elect to conduct real-world research as part of their Yosemite Institute experience. The information students gather helps inform Yosemite National 
Park resource managers.
If this type of learning experience is important to your school, please indicate this on your pre-trip questionnaire.
Research projects include:
- Stream monitoring: Tracking water quality by determining which insects and other small invertebrates inhabit Yosemite streams.
- Sequoia monitoring: Recording growth rates of individual trees over time
- Coyote monitoring: Documenting human impacts on the behavior of coyotes in Yosemite Valley
