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:Village Talk - Norcal Bats
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, September 16\, 7PM – 8PM \nReserve Now for a Talk at the Village Museum\nFOCC Members — Free Admission\nGeneral Public — $5 Admission \nWho are masters of echolocation and the only mammals that can legitimately fly? 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.

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
