Overview of the Acorn Group, Inc. Blending the Skills of Planners Overview of The Acorn Group, Inc. Blending the skills of planners, designers, and educators, The Acorn Group offers award-winning services in interpretive planning and design. Part art, part science and history, accented with story- telling and design, our interpretive master plans, exhibits, panels, and programs create sensory-rich experiences that bring content to life. Established in 1990 and nationally certified as a Woman Business Enterprise, The Acorn Group works with a range of clients from government agencies to private and non-profit institutions. Project sites include visitor centers, museums, public gardens, ecological reserves, parks, and educational institutions. Our greatest satisfaction comes from seeing plans and drawings become reality and watching visitors take delight in new experiences. The Acorn Group’s projects and efforts have been recognized nationally, receiving such awards as the Exhibit Design Award, Print and Media Award, and Interpretive Media Award by the National Association for Interpretation, Award of Excellence by the American Society of Landscape Archi- tects, Best of Show by the Western Fairs Association, Award of Excellence by the California Parks and Recreation Society, and National Education Award by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. The Orange County League of Conservation Voters presented The Acorn Group with the Orange County Environmental Business of the Year Award in 2005. In 2007, The Acorn Group received the First Place Interpretive Media Award from the National Association for Interpretation for design of Nix Nature Center.

First working in a nature center, followed by an aquarium and later a zoo, she founded The Acorn Group in 1990. Since that time she has been directly involved in the development of hundreds of interpretive master plans, interpretive panels, and exhibit design packages. Projects have taken her to California’s coastal dunes, Oregon’s rugged coastline, New Mexico’s arid desert and steppe, hardwood forests of the East, and cypress swamps of Florida. Regardless of setting, her focus is on creating sensory-rich experiences and helping visitors cultivate their own sense of place. Jenny’s training and experience have earned her a reputation for creating effective, dynamic educational and interpretive experiences. Her projects and efforts are nationally recognized. She is the recipient of the 2002 California Project Learning Tree Award for Service to Environmental Education, the 2002 California Institute for Biodiversity Educator of the Year Award, and the 2005 Howard Bell Award for outstanding achievements and contributions as a leader in the field by the Jennifer Rigby Association for Environmental and Outdoor Education.

Alternatives to the Proposed Project are analyzed in Section 4.4.5. 7 4.4.1 Description of Resource/Environmental Setting 8 Southern California residents derive enjoyment from active and passive recreational use 9 of the natural and semi-natural areas in the coastal environment. The mild climate and 10 the attractions of the ocean and environs draw many people to the coast in the vicinity 11 of the Proposed Project. 12 Generally, the land uses along the coastline are public beaches, marinas, and/or 13 harbors. MCB Camp Pendleton has 18 miles (29 km) of coastline and prohibits public 14 access to the beach. Inland from the immediate coastline, the land use pattern is 15 typically mixed with residential and supporting commercial uses (City of San Clemente 16 1992a). 17 Recreation Facilities 18 A wide variety of public facilities are available for recreation in the vicinity of the 19 Proposed Project. Those nearest to the shore have the potential to be affected by the 20 proposed activities (Figure 4.4-1). A list of public parks and their proximity to the project 21 site is provided in Table 4.4-1.

  • LWHC Once Upon Laguna Woods
    Once Upon Laguna Woods by Dean O. Dixon Once upon a time in a magical land there were fiery volcanos, roiling seas, and fearsome animals. Then came warriors, conquerors, banishment, empires, slaves, wars, pirates, corruption, bandits, posses, lynching, ghosts, invasion, exploitation, riches, scandal and, yes, even happily ever after. Fiction? No. These are true stories about the land right under your feet in and around Laguna Woods. So what did happen once upon Laguna Woods? Well, are you up for some time travel? The beloved natural vistas from Laguna Woods reflect decades of conservation efforts that preserved tens of thousands of pristine acres from any future human development. You get to enjoy this in perpetuity without it ever being disturbed. Woods End Wilderness Preserve, Laguna Coast Wilderness Park, Aliso & Wood Canyons Wilderness Park, Crystal Cove State Park, Laguna Niguel Regional Park, and City of Irvine Open Space Preserve are contiguous in a synergistic display of your natural history. But what exactly do you see? Once Upon Laguna Woods February 27, 2016 page !2 of !60 Natural erosion has exposed up to 65 million years of rock strata laid down and compressed one layer atop another by eons of changes in the earth’s crust as influenced by climate, flora and fauna. Sand from deserts and beaches, mud from swamps and rivers, skeletons of sea and land creatures, recurrences of these, and still more are solidified and revealed like layers in a slice of cake for the delight of geologists and further study by anyone so inclined. Related tectonics further changed and are changing your area even today as the Atlantic Plate pushes the North American Plate westward into the Pacific Plate along that constant worry of yours, the San Andreas Fault.

  • Adopt-A-Beach Packet Final
    The Adopt-A-Beach Program The Adopt-A-Beach Program is a statewide educational program coordinated by the California Coastal Commission. In San Diego County, this program is locally managed by I Love A Clean San Diego (ILACSD). To “adopt” a beach, volunteers agree to clean their beach at least three times over one year (school groups need only to commit to one cleanup). This program provides a unique opportunity for volunteers of all ages to be part of the solution to marine pollution. It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3… Check out the attached list of local beaches you can adopt. ILACSD will help you determine days and times for your cleanups, provide you with supplies and help arrange for trash and recycling pick-up. Recruit friends, co-workers, classmates and rela- tives to get involved in your beach cleanup. The more people you have cleaning, the more debris you can remove from the beach, saving animals from becoming entangled or injured. Clean your beach! Wear comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty, a hat, sunscreen and closed-toe shoes. Pick up trash & recyclables (e.g. bottles, cans, clean paper). And most importantly, have fun! The Adopt-A-Beach Program By adopting a beach, you will... Reduce ocean pollution Protect marine life Have fun & make a difference Want to learn more? I Love A Clean San Diego offers free presentations to groups adopting a beach. If your group is interested in learning more about your impact on the marine environment, please contact the ILACSD Volunteer Coordinator at (619) 291-0103 ext.
