Ages 16 and up are welcome. Volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. \nTo register\, please go the California State Parks Foundation website. Once you are registered\, they will send additional information about where to meet\, what to bring (in addition to your smiles and volunteer spirit) and what to wear. Your registration helps us prepare for equipment\, supplies and\, of course\, food.

SUMMARY:Village Talk: History of San Francisco Bay Area Development
DESCRIPTION:February’s Village Talk: \nA History of Development:\nThe San Francisco Bay Reber Plan \n\nIn Commemoration of Engineer Week\n\nThe San Francisco Bay area dramatically changed after the US took ownership of California in 1848.  The Gold Rush and other international events lead to a dramatic rise in population density in the Bay Area. The precipitous increases lead to resource scarcity- which provoked the development of the San Francisco Bay Project (aka the John Reber Plan).  Mr. John Reber came up with the perfect solution to California’s water issues which gave birth to the largest civil works project in the history of the country at that time -with enormous public support and national acclaim. Why did congress want to involve the US Army Corps of Engineers? The SF Bay Project seemed like such a good idea at the time. What could possibly go wrong? Join Linda Holm\, a Park Ranger with the US Army Corps of Engineers\, Bay Model\, as she guides us in a journey back in time to see how major developments have changed the SF Bay that we know today. \n  \n  \nDate: Saturday\, February 23rd\, 2019 \nTime: 3:30pm-4:30pm \nLocation: China Camp Village Museum \n  \nFOCC Members — Free Admission \nGeneral Public — $5 Admission \nHot beverages and snacks will be provided. Please dress warmly! \n  \nSpace is limited and reservations are required. \nTo reserve\, send email to: \nchinacamp.programs@gmail.com or call (415) 456-0766 \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.

SUMMARY:Naturalist Book Club
DESCRIPTION:NATURALIST BOOK CLUB\nFebruary 24th\, 2019- 7pm \nChina Camp Village Museum \n\nJoin Friends of China Camp for February’s book selection: \nLife Everlasting (The Animal Way of Death) by Bernd Heinrich \n  \n\nHow does the animal world deal with death? And what ecological and spiritual lessons can we learn from examining this? Bernd Heinrich has long been fascinated by these questions\, and when a good friend with a terminal illness asked if he might have his “green burial” at Heinrich’s hunting camp in Maine\, it inspired the acclaimed biologist and author to investigate. Life Everlasting is the fruit of those investigations\, illuminating what happens to animals great and small after death.  \n  \nFrom beetles to bald eagles\, ravens to wolves\, Heinrich reveals the fascinating and mostly hidden post-death world that occurs around us con \nstantly\, while examining the ancient and important role we too play as scavengers\, connecting death to life. (Exerp by Amazon.com) \n  \nWhen: Sunday\, February 24th\, 2019 \nTime: 7pm-8pm   \nMeeting Place: China Camp Village Museum\, China Camp State Park \n  \nPlease RSVP to chinacamp.programs@gmail.com or (415)456-0766 \nPlease bring warm clothing\, water and snacks.
