Plant of the Month (POM) Torrey Pines Docent Society Bird Survey: June Plant of the Month (POM) by Margaret Fillius or the first of this monthly series, I have chosen F Amole or Soap Plant. Its flowers (white with darker mid-vein) are produced on slender stalks mainly around June and July, often after the leaves have disappeared. These are not showy flowers but well worth a second look. Look for them throughout the Reserve, particularly along the road south of the Lodge, on the Beach Trail switchbacks, and near the top of the Margaret Fleming Trail in the Extension. Amole’s scientific name, Chlorogalum parviflorum, is derived from chloros (meaning “green”), gala (“milk or juice”), parvus (“small”), and flora (“flower”). This monocot grows from a bulb from which leaves sprout soon after the start of our winter rains. The bulb stores the resulting synthesized food, and the leaves die back when dry weather arrives.

In late summer/fall much of this color is due to the flowers of Goldenbush (Isocoma menziesii) in the Sunflower family (Asteraceae). This plant, seen throughout the Reserve, is a subshrub, meaning it is a perennial which doesn’t get very tall and which blooms much of the year. If you study several Goldenbush plants, you may wonder if they are all of the same species. In fact there are four different varieties in the San Diego area, one of which (var. decumbens) is rare. It has been suggested that further studies of the varieties are needed, so I think we are OK to lump them all as Isocoma menziesii.

    Discovering Gray Pine (Pinus sabiniana) in Oregon Frank Callahan PO Box 5531, Central Point, OR 97502 “Th e tree is remarkable for its airy, widespread tropical appearance, which suggest a region of palms rather than cool pine woods. Th e sunbeams sift through even the leafi est trees with scarcely any interruption, and the weary, heated traveler fi nds little protection in their shade.” –John Muir (1894) ntil fairly recently, gray pine was believed to be restricted to UCalifornia, where John Muir encountered it. But the fi rst report of it in Oregon dates back to 1831, when David Douglas wrote to the Linnaean Society of his rediscovery of Pinus sabiniana in California. In his letter from San Juan Bautista, Douglas claimed to have collected this pine in 1826 in Oregon while looking for sugar pine (Pinus lambertiana) between the Columbia and Umpqua rivers (Griffin 1962). Unfortunately, Douglas lost most of his fi eld notes and specimens when his canoe overturned in the Santiam River (Harvey 1947). Lacking notes and specimens, he was reluctant to report his original discovery of the new pine in Oregon until he found it again in California (Griffin 1962). Despite the delay in reporting it, Douglas clearly indicated that he had seen this pine before he found it in California, and the Umpqua region has suitable habitat for gray pine. John Strong Newberry1 (1857), naturalist on the 1855 Pacifi c Railroad Survey, described an Oregon distribution for Pinus sabiniana: “It was found by our party in the valleys of the coast ranges as far north as Fort Lane in Oregon.” Fort Lane was on the eastern fl ank of Blackwell Hill (between Central Point and Gold Hill in Jackson County), so his description may also include the Th e lone gray pine at Tolo, near the old Fort Lane site, displays the characteristic architecture of multiple Applegate Valley.

  • 5.0 Torrey Pine Forest
    Volume 2C: Goals and Objectives for Vegetation Focus Management Species 5.0 Torrey Pine Forest 5.0 TORREY PINE FOREST 5.1 OVERVIEW OF THE TORREY PINE FOREST VEGETATION COMMUNITY The Torrey pine forest vegetation community has a very limited distribution in the MSPA, occurring almost exclusively in MU7 on 175 acres and with 1 acre in MU6 (SANDAG 2012; Table V2C.5-1, Figure V2C.5-1, or view an online map at: https://portal.sdmmp.com/map_vegetation.php?taxaid=SDMMP_vegcom_8). Distribution of Torrey Pines Forest Vegetation). Over 97% of Torrey pine forest is conserved, primarily at Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve, where 5,394 trees were mapped in 2006 (Franklin and Santos 2011). Torrey pine forest is the only native coastal southern California forest and is the rarest pine in North America (CDPR 2017). The forest is a remnant population from a period over 10,000 years ago when the climate was wetter and pines were more widespread on the southern California coast. Winter to spring precipitation is most important in annual growth (Biondi et al. 1997). This vegetation community is found only at Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve and on Santa Rosa Island (Sproul et al. 2011). Torrey pines occur on rocky sandstone soils immediately adjacent to the coast (Oberbauer et al. 2008). Torrey pine forest is classified as Pinus torreyana Special Stands, similar to an alliance but dominated by a rare, special-status species (Sproul et al. 2011). It is an open forest with trees <15 meters and with coastal sage scrub and chaparral understories. The stands are associated with many different species and Torrey pines are not diagnostic of a specific floristic composition.

  • Conceptual Design Documentation
    Appendix A: Conceptual Design Documentation APPENDIX A Conceptual Design Documentation June 2019 A-1 APPENDIX A: CONCEPTUAL DESIGN DOCUMENTATION The environmental analyses in the NEPA and CEQA documents for the proposed improvements at Oceano County Airport (the Airport) are based on conceptual designs prepared to provide a realistic basis for assessing their environmental consequences. 1. Widen runway from 50 to 60 feet 2. Widen Taxiways A, A-1, A-2, A-3, and A-4 from 20 to 25 feet 3. Relocate segmented circle and wind cone 4. Installation of taxiway edge lighting 5. Installation of hold position signage 6. Installation of a new electrical vault and connections 7. Installation of a pollution control facility (wash rack) CIVIL ENGINEERING CALCULATIONS The purpose of this conceptual design effort is to identify the amount of impervious surface, grading (cut and fill) and drainage implications of the projects identified above. The conceptual design calculations detailed in the following figures indicate that Projects 1 and 2, widening the runways and taxiways would increase the total amount of impervious surface on the Airport by 32,016 square feet, or 0.73 acres; a 6.6 percent increase in the Airport’s impervious surface area. Drainage patterns would remain the same as both the runway and taxiways would continue to sheet flow from their centerlines to the edge of pavement and then into open, grassed areas. The existing drainage system is able to accommodate the modest increase in stormwater runoff that would occur, particularly as soil conditions on the Airport are conducive to infiltration. Figure A-1 shows the locations of the seven projects incorporated in the Proposed Action.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION UC-Stallcup TEXT.indd 1 1/23/14 11:30 AM This contribution to the California Natural History Guide Series of the University of California Press follows a long tradi- tion of books that explain, explore, and celebrate the natural riches of California and beyond. Our intent is to tell beginning birders, or curious naturalists, the how, what, when, where, and why of birding. Because birds are so mobile, some individuals of most spe- cies can wander far from their natal homes and appear any- where. Here we have tried to include only those species most likely to be seen along the coast, from Big Sur to the Oregon border. This is not a field guide to bird identification, but a field guide to the birds themselves. Birding is a word that encompasses many concepts. For some, the activity of searching for and observing birds is a clear window into the natural world, an affirmation of its beauty and its peacefulness. To others, birding is a delightful diversion from the hectic or perhaps boring daily routine of the mod- ern world— providing calm amid the chaos. Birds are nature’s ambassadors, connecting us through their ancient lineage to evolution’s astonishing creativity and offering us some guid- ance, through our study of their habitat needs, in our steward- ship of the Earth. Some people have found the wonders of birds to be the perfect antidote to sadness or loneliness, or a path to comradeship with kindred spirits; others consider the complex- ities of identification or behavior an intellectual challenge.
