  • Konocti Regional Trails Master Plan
    County of Lake Public Services Department Konocti Regional Trails Master Plan January 11, 2011 County of Lake Public Services Department Konocti Regional Trails Master Plan January 11, 2011 PREPARED FOR: County of Lake Public Services Department PREPARED BY: Alta Planning + Design COVER PHOTO BY: Rivers, Trails, and Ron Keas Conservation Assistance Konocti Regional Trails Master Plan Acknowledgements The development of the Konocti Regional Trails (KRT) Master Plan would not have happened without the tremendous amount of volunteer energy and time that went into this project. Holly Harris and Chuck Lamb were the catalysts for this trails effort and have been instrumental in moving the planning process forward over the past two years. Each has contributed countless hours in many capacities – from on-the-ground mapping of land- and water-based trails, to sharing the concept of a countywide network of trails with business owners, service organizations, and property owners, to developing content and creating the KRT web site. Many community members and organizations from across Lake County have stepped forward at various stages to provide valuable input by responding to surveys, attending workshops and meetings, and suggesting and prioritizing trail concepts. This input provided the basis for this plan, which exemplifies a successful grassroots, community-driven effort. Under the guidance and expertise of Barbara Rice of the National Park Service, Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program, the KRT Team had a seasoned trails expert involved from day one. As part of a grant from NPS-RTCA, Ms. Rice provided technical assistance and support to the KRT Team throughout the process.

The eagles prey on grebes and other waterbirds, so watch for them perched in the trees in the grebe nesting areas, looking for an easy meal. Ospreys don’t prey on birds, but they’ve learned that where there are grebes, there are abundant fish. At the county park, look for the huge osprey nest, where you can often see a pair tending to their young. A family of river otters also lives nearby, and white pelicans are a common sight on the lake at the mouth of Adobe Creek. The Water Trails “Things have changed a lot up at Clear Lake.

  • San Francisco Bay Area Council
    San Francisco Bay Area Council - Boy Scout Rim Rover Patch The purpose of the RIM OF THE BAY patch program is to encourage hiking and to bring into the lives of our Scouts a “mountain top” experience. There are six Mountains that surround our area that you hike up. When you fin- ish the first mountain you get a patch and a “rocker” with the name of the mountain. Rockers are awarded for each additional hike completed. All of these trips can be ac- complished in a single day. There are camping sites at or near most if your plans include an overnight camp experi- ence. For Boy Scouts,this activity can contribute to the Tenderfoot Rank, the Backpacking, Camping, and Hiking Merit Badges; and Forester, Geologist, Outdoorsman, and Traveler for Webelos. These hikes are not approved for Cub Scout use. Secure (where available) the park folder which shows trails and also gives a short history of the area. ...Try to make your trip a “hike with a purpose” other than the earning of the patch.

  • Spring Summer 2011
    California Native Plant Society Sanhedrin Chapter Newsletter Spring/Summer 2011 Note from the editor: I hope you have an opportunity to join one of the interesting trips below. With a number of excellent fieldtrips already completed this year, the continued cool and wet weather offers additional opportunities to experience our wonderful native flora. Also, please take time to read Peter Warner’s excellent article below. It is a thoughtful and timely essay on the importance of increasing the membership in CNPS and becoming a more active chapter member. We all need to be more involved and engaged thereby becoming more effective advocates for healthy functioning ecosystems. Our diverse native flora, our planet, and ultimately our happiness depends on it. Kerry Heise, newsletter editor: [email protected] Calendar of Fieldtrips, Meetings, and Events April 30 & May 1 - Boonville Wildflower Show Have an unknown wildflower you can’t put a name to? Bring it to the annual Boonville Wildflower Show where local expert botanists will be on hand to identify your plant. This weekend event is located at the fairgrounds and features hundreds of local native and naturalized wildflowers on display. Saturday, May 7 – Jenner Headlands (Sonoma County) The splendid biological diversity and enthralling aesthetics of the Jenner Headlands beckon to all. This terrestrial jewel, acquired by the Sonoma Land Trust in 2009, offers sweeping -- or fog-enshrouded – coastal vistas, deep forested canyons, and grasslands bedazzling in spring’s tapestry of flowers. This field trip to the property will focus on plants and plant ecology, specifically arranged with CNPS members in mind.
