The trip was part of Börk's California Environmental Cases and Places course that connects law and environmental science to allow students to learn hands-on water, environmental and public lands law.

The UC Davis Outdoor Adventures and UC Davis Fire Department provided support and Virginia Cahill ’81 sponsored the trip.
