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.

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
