A Prefatory Note
By The Editors
An effort has been made to give unity to this issue of Nature
Notes by a consideration of the different elements involved in the
appreciation, information, and enjoyment to be derived from a small
section of Crater Lake National Park. Since the Naturalist Division
maintains, among other guided trips, a scheduled Ranger-Naturalist
conducted hike and boat trip to Wizard Island, the area was selected for
consideration in this issue. Because of its unique situation, its
interesting biotic features, and its meaningful esthetic values, Wizard
Island was chosen. The reader will find that the articles herein
contained represent the meaning or significance of Wizard Island as
taken from the notes of the geologist, the ornithologist, the botanist,
and the artist.
The National Parks were established for the use and enjoyment of the
people. It is hoped that this material will contribute to that ideal by
motivating the use of this Park and contributing to the understanding of
it. To summarize briefly, this issue represents a research problem in
appreciation.
