SUMMARY:Natural History Hike
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nTwenty-thousand years ago\, during the late pleistocene\, megafauna like giant bears\, saber-tooth cats\, massive sloths and monstrous mammoths roamed the forests of China Camp. We can only imagine what one of these animals would have seen as it gazed eastward from a rocky perch on what is now the San Pedro hills. Based on historic documentation\, they would not have seen a sparkling bay\, but rather a network of rolling valleys and deep river channels that eventually emptied into the ocean\, 20 miles west of where the Golden Gate is today. At the time\, sea level was much lower than today\, as much  ocean water was frozen into ice age glaciers. How and why were there so many drastic changes to the landscape since then?  \nDuring this invigorating hike\, naturalist Harold Hirsch will address this question and offer an overview of the geology and biology of China Camp within the broader context of Marin and California’s natural history. The route will have excellent views of the park’s salt marshes\, the greater North Bay\, and some of the western and northern coastal mountain ranges.   \nBring a full water bottle\, snacks\, proper hiking shoes\, and weather-appropriate clothing.(warm weather\, hat and sun screen.) \n  \nDate: Saturday\, July 15 \nTime: 8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. \nLocation: Back Ranch Meadows Entrance Kiosk \nDifficulty: Moderately difficult\, 4 miles.  \n  \nREGISTER HERE \n  \nSpace is limited; reservations required.  \nFree (donations appreciated). \nCancellations notified via email. \nQuestions? Email programs@friendsofchinacamp.org or call (415) 456-0766. \n  \nIllustration: Pleistocene Bay Area mammals by Laura Cunningham/ Bay Nature Magazine

SUMMARY:Birding Hike
DESCRIPTION:Like the ever-changing wardrobe of teenage humans\, young fledgling seagulls exhibit a continuous refashioning of plumage in the five years leading up to maturity. During this period\, their colors and patterns constantly change\, making them a challenge for even experienced birders to correctly identify. We will accept this challenge during this summer’s birding hikes\, as we will take to the shoreline to focus on ID’ing shorebirds\, waders\, ducks\, and gulls. We will also explore upland grassland and scrub habitat\, which is often filled with small singing and perching birds. \nWe will also review the four keys to identifying birds (size\, shape\, overall color\, behavior/habitat). Participants will also learn how to identify birds by observing flight patterns\, noting body shapes and sizes\, hearing songs\, and watching behaviors. Please join us for this monthly bird walk\, and be sure to bring comfortable walking shoes\, water\, and binoculars. \n  \nDate: Saturday\, July 22 \nTime: 8 a.m. – 10 a.m. \nLocation: Turtle Back Trailhead \nDifficulty: Easy; 1½ miles  \nREGISTER FOR JULY 22 \n  \nSpace is limited; reservations required.  \nFree (donations appreciated). \nCancellations notified via email. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:California State Parks Foundation volunteer work event
DESCRIPTION:Join the FOCC maintenance volunteers in the initial step of restoring the tread on Ridge Fire Trail and the grooming of adjacent trails.\n\n\n\nWe will remove organics in the areas where rolling dips will be incorporated for proper drainage. We will also be trimming back overgrowth and removing accumulated duff on Bay View Trail and Oak Ridge Trail. The work includes the use of loppers\, pruners\, and McLoeds and will be moderately strenuous. Please note there are no bathroom facilities at this work site. The closest public bathrooms are at Victor Jones Park on Robinhood Drive. Free tent camping is available to volunteers on Friday. Ages 14 and older are welcome (minors must be accompanied by an adult and bring a waiver signed by their guardian).  Lunch will be provided. \n\n\n  \nClick here to sign up. Full opportunity address and directions will be sent to you by e-mail after you sign up.
