Expeditions Across California is founded in four fields of study, which are as follows:
Botany-
Promoting the preservation and conservation of native California plants, we aim to educate the community on the importance and benefit of native flora. California's climate is ideal for the cultivation of exotic plants. Frequently replacing the native flora, non-native species outcompete native plant
s, thus decreasing resources for native animals. Geology-
Promoting awareness of and investigation into the rocks, minerals, and landforms of California, we venture near and far to extract California's most precious minerals. Destined for donation to museums and organizations, our geological collection is used to educate the community in the field of earth science. Paleontology-
Promoting the exploration and study of ancient life, we aim to educate local communities about the fossils found in their area and of the amazing organisms once present. Upon discovery, our specimens are sent to the University of California Museum of Paleontology or saved for our use in education. Zoology-
Promoting the native wildlife of California, we strive to protect and support all species, abundant or endangered. We recognize the importance of all native species in composing a functional and robust ecological community, and strive to document and foster understanding of local fauna.
