  • MARTIN GRIFFIN an Oral History Interview Conducted by Debra Schwartz in 2015
    Mill Valley Oral History Program A collaboration between the Mill Valley Historical Society and the Mill Valley Public Library MARTIN GRIFFIN An Oral History Interview Conducted by Debra Schwartz in 2015 © 2015 by the Mill Valley Public Library TITLE: Oral History of Martin Griffin INTERVIEWER: Debra Schwartz DESCRIPTION: Transcript, 37 pages INTERVIEW DATE: October 20th, 2015 In this oral history, physician, naturalist, champion of open spaces and bane of developers Martin Griffin recounts with warmth and humor his long and extraordinarily active life. Born in Ogden, Utah, in 1920 to nature-loving parents, Martin moved with his family to Portland, Oregon, when the Great Depression hit, and then down to Los Angeles and finally up to Oakland, where he attended elementary school through high school. Martin recalls some early experiences that shaped his love for the environment, including his involvement with the Boy Scouts, where he met the graduate student entomologist Brighton C. “Bugs” Cain, who profoundly inspired him. It was also as a boy that Martin came over to Mill Valley for the first time, making his way by ferry and train, to go hiking on Mt. Tamalpais. He conjures the beautiful vision he had from the ridge that day of white birds down on Bolinas Lagoon, a vision which made such a powerful impression on him and would, years later, feed the flames of his conservationist passion. Martin recounts being involved in ROTC while an undergraduate at U.C. Berkeley, later attending medical school at Stanford, where he got married, and moving over to Marin to begin his medical practice.

  • Mountain Biking in Marin County Fact Book
    MOUNTAIN BIKING IN MARIN COUNTY FACT BOOK THE STATE OF MOUNTAIN BIKING IN MARIN COUNTY For over 100 years, hikers and equestrians have wandered amidst the natural bounty of Marin on narrow trails that began their lives under a varied prove- nance: animal paths, historic Native American footpaths, reclaimed logging roads as well as purpose-built trails. 40 years ago, mountain biking was born right here in Marin on the flanks of Mt. Tam and Pine Mountain. For a brief moment in time, mountain bikers peaceably shared all the trails of Marin with other users. Yet through years of exclusionary legislation, mountain biking in Marin is now largely relegated to fire roads with access to narrow trails disproportionately low compared to other user groups locally as well as compared to mountain bike access in other parts of the Bay THE BIRTHPLACE OF Area, California, the United States and worldwide. MOUNTAIN BIKING This compendium draws on user surveys, peer-reviewed research, comparison studies and public lands policy in Marin County to help provide accurate, current knowledge with the goal of proving two main points: • Mountain biking is a safe, healthy, low-impact activity enjoyed by a significant number and wide cross section of Marin County’s citizens • There is no substantiated, reasonable cause—including safety or enviromental concerns—to prohibit mountain bike access to more narrow trails on public lands in Marin ACCESS4BIKES’ To motivate and empower Marin mountain bikers to act in their own self-interest, to get fair and reasonable access to our public trails and MISSION STATEMENT to preserve the experience of trail riding for future generations.

    Classification of the Vegetation of Point Reyes National Seashore Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Samuel P. Taylor, Mount Tamalpais, and Tomales State Parks, Marin, San Francisco, and San Mateo Counties, California Association for Biodiversity Information In Cooperation with The California Native Plant Society and California Heritage Program Wildlife and Habitat Data Analysis Branch California Department of Fish and Game 1307 R Street, Room 202 Sacramento, CA 95814 Revised June 2003 ABSTRACT: The National Park Service (NPS), in conjunction with the Biological Resources Division (BRD) of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), has implemented a program to "develop a uniform hierarchical vegetation methodology" at a national level. The program will also create a geographic information system (GIS) database for the parks under its management. The purpose of the data is to document the state of vegetation within the NPS service area during the 1990's, thereby providing a baseline study for further analysis at the Regional or Service - wide level. The vegetation units of this map were determined through stereoscopic interpretation of aerial photographs supported by field sampling and ecological analysis. The vegetation boundaries were identified on the photographs by means of the photographic signatures and collateral information on slope, hydrology, geography, and vegetation in accordance with the Standardized National Vegetation Classification System (October 1995). The mapped vegetation reflects conditions that existed during the specific years and seasons that the aerial photographs were taken. Several sets of aerial photography were utilized for this project: 1) NOAA 1:24,000 March 1994 Natural Color Prints (Leaf Off) covering Point Reyes NS, the northern portion and southern coastal portions of Golden Gate NRA, and the western two thirds of Mt.
