SUMMARY:Slow and Say Hello!
DESCRIPTION:Coming to a trail near you! The Trail Partners (Marin Conservation League\, MCBC and Marin Horse Council) have been setting up Slow and Say Hello outposts at popular trailheads around the county. The purpose of the Slow and Say Hello campaign is to remind the many visitors who recreate on Marin’s open space\, watershed and park lands of the importance of trail safety\, courtesy toward other visitors\, and respect for the plants and wildlife that inhabit them. “Slow and Say Hello” simply asks that we communicate with each other on the trail with a simple “Hi”\, wave or ring of the bell — to acknowledge our shared responsibility. \nOn September 16th\, 2017 the Trail Partners will engage park visitors on China Camp’s trails with a trail quiz that includes questions about park rules and behavior that promotes safety and resource protection. \n

BATS! \nOn Saturday September 16th\, Friends of China Camp is pleased to welcome special guest appearances of LIVE California native bats to our monthly Village Talk! Our presenter Corky Quirk of NorCal Bats will reveal the hidden lives and features of these specialized nocturnal creatures. Discover the diversity of native bat species in your local neighborhood\, and how these delicate aerial beings communicate and navigate under the cover of darkness. You will also learn fascinating details about their physiology\, diet and life cycle. \nAre all bats in cahoots with Dracula? Do they want to “suck your blood”? This presentation will dispel these and other harmful beliefs that can and have lead to the unnecessary destruction of colonies and roosts. These shy creatures are actually of great importance to humans and ecological systems. Did you know that these voracious nocturnal insect consumers save the global agriculture industry billions of dollars in pest management costs every year? \nNorCal bats is a Sacramento based non-profit dedicated to the rescue\, rehabilitation and release of bats throughout Northern California. They also provide outreach and education in defense of these remarkable creatures.\nCorky Quirk has been the founder and executive director of NorCal bats for over 12 years. She has a degree in natural resources from Humboldt State University and she currently resides in Yolo County. \nSpace is limited and reservations are required.\nTo reserve\, send email to:\nchinacamp.programs@gmail.com\nInclude your name and the number of seats you need.\nWe will reply to confirm your reservation.

SUMMARY:Champion Workday: Repair Shoreline!
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Champion trail maintenance event on Saturday\, September 23rd from 9AM to 3PM. We are seeking strong\, energetic volunteers. This is the most ambitious maintenance event we have done to date. It will be strenuous. We will be toting rock and gravel\, assembling Gabion baskets\, shoring up a bridge\, excavating the footing for the Gabions\, putting in drainage and a variety of other tasks associated with building the Gabion basket stone wall. \nThis volunteer event will kick off the repair. The California Conservation Corps (CCC) will follow on to continue and complete the lion’s share of the work. We expect them to start their work a few days after our workday. However\, they are also on-call to assist with the wildfires. If they are called\, this will delay the repair. This has been a difficult season for fires. We will hope for the best. \nTo participate\, please register on the California State Parks Foundation website. They will contact you with information about where to meet\, what to wear\, what to bring\, etc. Registration is essential to our planning for tools\, supplies\, equipment and\, of course\, food. \nBring your ‘Can do’ attitudes\, a team spirit and a sense of humor\, the essentials for a grand success!

SUMMARY:Pathogens in our Park: Sudden Oak Death
DESCRIPTION:Have you observed an abnormal amount of dead or dying oaks with yellowed or browning leaves within your local woodland? If so\, you are probably observing trees that have been infected with Sudden Oak Death (SOD). Plant pathogens are a natural part of terrestrial ecosystems\, they play a vital role in shaping populations and are a major force of evolutionary change. Yet over the last two decades\, SOD has imparted devastating consequences for oak\, tanoak and other tree populations. Since the mid-1990’s\, what is now known to be Phytophthora ramorum has killed millions of trees across California and Oregon and it continues to spread faster than researchers can individually document. However\, there is an organized movement to use the power of local citizen volunteers to collect essential field data on an accessible online platform.  \nProfessor Wolfgang Schweigkofler\, Ph.D joins us to shine a light on this mysterious disease and\, most importantly\, what you can do to help stop it! \nWolfgang Schweigkofler\, Ph.D. is an assistant Research Professor at Dominican University in San Rafael. He holds a Ph.D. in Microbiology from the University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences\, Vienna\, Austria. \n  \nDate: Saturday Nov 18th\, 2017        \nLocation: Lower Village Museum \nTime:  5pm -6pm \nAdmission: Members- Free \n                     Non-members-$5 \nPlease RSVP to reserve your space at chinacamp.programs@gmail.com or (415)488-5161

SUMMARY:Monthly Village Talk: King Tides with NERR
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, December 16th\, 2017 \nLocation: China Camp Village Museum \nTime: 4pm -5pm \nCome to China Camp State Park to learn what extreme high tides\, commonly called King Tides\, can tell us about sea level rise. As part of NOAA’s National Estuarine Research Reserve System\, China Camp’s tidal marshes play a key role in helping scientists understand how marshes respond to sea level rise and how we can protect them. In this evening talk\, we will hear about what scientists have learned so far and how they are learning more through research right here at China Camp. \nThis talk is presented by Sarah Ferner\, Education Coordinator for the San Francisco Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve. Sarah loves to learn and teach about marshes and estuaries\, and has a knack for translating complex science into everyday fun. This talk is an expansion of the popular King Tide Walks Sarah leads each year at China Camp and Rush Ranch (in Solano County). If you’ve left a walk wanting more\, this is your chance to go deeper into the science! \nFOCC Members — Free Admission\nGeneral Public — $5 Admission \nHot beverages and snacks will be provided. Please dress warmly! \nSpace is limited and reservations are required.\nTo reserve\, send email to:\nchinacamp.programs@gmail.com or call (415) 488-5161\nInclude your name and the number of seats you need.\nWe will reply to confirm your reservation.\nCancellation announcements will be posted on the FOCC website homepage.
