Salmon Creek Estuary: Study Results and Enhancement Recommendations
Salmon Creek Estuary: Study Results and Enhancement Recommendations Appendices Appendix A: Salmon Creek Oral History Project Appendix B: Water Quality Figures Salmon Creek Estuary: Study Results and Enhancement Recommendations – Appendices June 2006 Appendix A: Salmon Creek History and Oral History Summary (Prepared by Kathleen Harrison) I. The Original Human Residents of Salmon Creek Watershed The human history of the Salmon Creek watershed must, of course, reach back to the original, indigenous people who were here long before the current era. It is established that Native Americans have been moving through and settling in California for at the very least 12,000 years. Archeological signs of ongoing habitation here in Salmon Creek watershed extend back at least 8,000 years. We know that the natives of this region were adept hunters, gatherers and managers of natural resources. The people of this region of North America did not practice agriculture, but they tended naturally existing populations of plants, trees, and terrestrial and aquatic animal life. Their goals for successful management were to maximize production of the foods and materials useful to humans, maintain a healthy balance in diverse communities of flora and fauna, support the natural cycles and longevity of wild populations, and to honor the many forces that they recognized in nature. They did this with various documented methods of land management. Annual or periodic late-season burning effectively removed brush without killing established trees, prevented the accumulation of detritus that encourages bacterial, viral and fungal diseases in trees, and fertilized the soil with ash, encouraging growth and production of seeds and acorns. -

2018 JULY Journal For over 25 years “. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.” . Aldo Leopold (1886-1948), American Forester SONOMA LAND TRUST DONATES GILCHRIST EASEMENT A Partnership for Land Protection along Coleman Valley Creek To ring in the new year, Bodega Land Trust received, from Sonoma Land Trust, a conservation easement over a beautiful quarter-mile stretch of Coleman Valley Creek west of Occi- dental (image shown is in the ease- ment). The creek, which runs across a property donated to Sonoma Land Trust in 2017, is a major tributary of Salmon Creek. The new easement is named after Alden Gilchrist, who loved the underlying property and whose partner generously donated the land to the Sonoma Land Trust after Alden’s death. The easement covers approximately 11 undeveloped acres of the 16-acre property. The creek adds about a half-mile of protected creek bank to our inventory in the Salmon Creek watershed. The easement includes Douglas fir, coast live oak, bay, a few redwoods and numerous native shrubs and grasses. Commercial timber harvest- ing is prohibited. Only firewood may be cut. All subdivision, new struc- tures “with roofs”, roads and cross fencing are prohibited. Coleman Valley Creek Photo by Akiva Zaslansky Coleman Valley Creek is a major priority for our land and water pro- tection work. This easement is espe- cially important to Bodega Land Trust because it is contiguous with our 68.6-acre Salmon Creek Headwaters easement, donated in 1998. We also hold a 200-foot wide riparian corri- dor easement on the west bank of the lower reach of the creek, donated in 2001. -

They were interested in knowing the history that lies behind the United States’s siting strategies for nuclear power plants and for its proposed waste disposal site. From that moment the project took off and expanded into the following thesis. I decided to explore the political side of many case studies as well as the geology since the outcomes were often clearly related to both aspects. I attempted to unravel the often very complicated network of agencies involved in the U.S. nuclear program, relying heavily on personal interviews. I also tried to touch on other countries with prominent nuclear programs. With over fifty years of nuclear power history the U.S. -

Hedgpeth MARINE BIOLOGIST AND ENVIRONMENTALIST: PYCNOGONIDS, PROGRESS, AND PRESERVING BAYS, SALMON, AND OTHER LIVING THINGS With an Introduction by John A. McGowan Interviews Conducted by Ann Lage in 1992 Copyright 1996 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the Nation. Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well- informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Joel W.
