SUMMARY:Naturalist Book Club
DESCRIPTION:This month\, we discuss Natural History\, an engaging compilation of historical fiction short stories by Andrea Barrett\, winner of the National Book Award.  \nExcerpt from publisher’s website: \n“A masterful collection of…six exquisite stories…set largely in a small community in central New York state… spanning the decades between the Civil War to the present day… Told with Barrett’s characteristic elegance\, passion for science\, and wonderful eye for the natural world\, the psychologically astute and moving stories gathered in this collection evoke the ways women’s lives and expectations—in families\, in work\, and in love—have shifted across a century and more. Building upon one another\, these tales brilliantly culminate to reveal how the smallest events of the past can have large reverberations across the generations\, and how potent\, wondrous\, and strange the relationship between history and memory can be.” \nDate:  Sunday\, July 28 \nTime: 7 p.m. – 8 p.m.   \nLocation: online meeting; details emailed with registration confirmation \nCost: free to FOCC members \nAge: 12 and up \nMaximum attendees: 25 \nRESERVE NOW

SUMMARY:Full Moon Hike
DESCRIPTION:August’s full moon\, known as the “sturgeon moon\,” gets its name because it rises during the peak season for lake sturgeon\, a large fish that lives in East Coast watersheds. Here at China Camp\, we too have sturgeon—the white sturgeon thrives in the murky waters of San Pablo Bay. Growing up to 20 feet long\, the federally endangered white sturgeon is North America’s largest freshwater fish\, though it also thrives in brackish waters like those off the coast of China Camp. Our hike follows a winding trail to a 500-foot overlook\, offering a superb view of this year’s “sturgeon moon” as it rises over the East Bay hills and the bay.\n \nSpace is limited; registration is required.  \n  \nDate: Sunday\, August 18 \nTime: 6:45 p.m. – 9:15 p.m.  \nLocation: China Camp Ranger Station \nDifficulty: moderate\, 3-mile round trip hike; 500-ft. elevation gain\, including some steep sections \nCost: free for FOCC members; $5 donation appreciated for non-members \nAge: 10 and older; under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult \nADA accessible: no \n  \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Naturalist Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Take part in a lively discussion about Sounds Wild and Broken\, by David George Haskell\,  professor of biology and environmental studies at Tennessee’s University of the South and a Guggenheim Fellow. \nFrom the publisher’s website: \n“Starting with the origins of animal song and traversing the whole arc of Earth history\, Haskell illuminates and celebrates the emergence of the varied sounds of our world. In mammoth ivory flutes from Paleolithic caves\, violins in modern concert halls\, and electronic music in earbuds\, we learn that human music and language belong within this story of ecology and evolution. Yet we are also destroyers\, now silencing or smothering many of the sounds of the living Earth. Haskell takes us to threatened forests\, noise-filled oceans\, and loud city streets\, and shows that sonic crises are not mere losses of sensory ornament.” \n  \n  \nDate: Sunday\, August 25 \nTime: 7 p.m. – 8 p.m.   \nLocation: online meeting; registration required  \nCost: free for FOCC members; $5 donation appreciated for non-members \nAge: 12 and up \n  \nRESERVE NOW

SUMMARY:Give-back morning at China Camp
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a morning making a difference in the park. Our weekly maintenance days tackle a host of jobs large and small\, so there’s something for everyone. You don’t need to be a weightlifter or a construction worker to help out\, in fact we’ve got men and women of all shapes\, sizes\, ages\, and abilities volunteering at the park. But there are things that our volunteers have in common: a willingness to pitch in and work together\, a healthy sense of humor\, and desire to help the park. \nWhether you’re a newbie or experienced\, pitch in to keep the park safe and beautiful. There’s no long-term commitment required—but we hope you come again. \nMeet promptly at 9 a.m. in the maintenance area next to China Camp Ranger Station (101 Peacock Gap Trail\, San Rafael). Bring work gloves and a filled water bottle. Wear long pants\, long-sleeve shirt\, and sturdy hiking shoes or boots. Sunglasses or other eye protection are recommended. Please leave your four-legged friends at home\, as no pets are allowed on our trails. \nIf you are volunteering as a group of 5 or more\, please contact our team coordinator at kjsmead@comcast.net. This helps us plan for tools and supplies. \nAges: 14 and up (ages under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian). \nCancellations will be posted on our events calendar.

SUMMARY:Naturalist Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join a lively discussion of On The Move: The Overheating Earth and the Uprooting of America by Abrahm Lustgarten. The award-winning investigative journalist\, filmmaker\, and public speaker specializes in human adaptation to climate change. \nFrom the author’s website:\n“Reporting from the front lines of climate migration\, Lustgarten explains how a pattern of shortsighted policies encouraged millions to settle in vulnerable parts of the country\, and introduces us to homeowners in California\, insurance customers in Florida\, and ranchers in Colorado who are being forced to make the agonizing choice of when\, not whether\, to leave. Employing the most current climate data and predictive models\, he shows how America’s population will be squeezed northward into a shrinking triangle of land stretching from Tennessee to Maine to the Great Lakes. The places many of us now call home are at risk\, and On the Move reveals how we’ll deal with the consequences.” \nDate: Sunday\, September 29\nTime: 7 p.m. – 8 p.m.\nLocation: online meeting; details emailed with registration confirmation\nCost: free to FOCC members; $5 donation appreciated for non-members\nAges: 12 and up \n\nReserve Now\n
