  • Harold French Bench Dedication – September 26, 2019
    HAROLD FRENCH BENCH DEDICATION – SEPTEMBER 26, 2019 Background Information from Noël Siver When I first learned that this bench dedicated to Harold French was going to be installed on the Overlook Trail in Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve, I wondered how much of a connection there was between Harold French and this preserve and between Harold French and Robert Sibley. With a little bit of research on the Internet (my favorite indoor activity), I learned that Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve was originally known as Round Top. Having hiked to its summit many times, Harold French knew this extinct volcano well. He wrote about it in one of his earliest articles, an article that was published in the San Francisco Chronicle on August 14, 1904. It was entitled “Who Built the Prehistoric Walls Topping Berkeley Hills? Do the Miles of Mysterious Stone Barriers, Which Serve No Modern Purpose, Bespeak a Lost Civilization of Toltecs or Atlanteans?” In his article Harold writes that This peak is of sufficient interest to the Sierra Club to cause a number of its members to erect a cairn of boulders on its summit, the apex of which is ornamented with the skull of a deceased bovine. This dome is of sufficient wildness to attract many for the mere purpose of beholding its view, but it is here that the most interesting walls are found. On its southern shoulder, overlooking the head of beautiful Redwood canyon, which is reached by the Moraga road from Piedmont, a wall extends for over 200 yards to the east and then plunges down a steep canyon to the south.

    EAST BAY REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT Vision and Mission Statements Vision The East Bay Regional Park District will preserve a priceless heritage of natural and cultural resources, open space, parks and trails for the future and will set aside park areas for the enjoyment and healthful recreation for generations to come. An environmental ethic guides us in all that we do. Mission The East Bay Regional Park District will achieve the above vision in the following ways: • Provide a diversified system of regional parklands, trails, and parkland-related services that will offer outstanding opportunities for creative use of outdoor time. • Acquire and preserve significant biologic, geologic, scenic, and historic resources within Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. • Manage, maintain and restore the parklands so that they retain their important scenic, natural, and cultural values. • Interpret the parklands by focusing educational programs on both the visitor’s relationship to nature, natural processes, ecology, history of the parklands, and the value of natural conditions. • Support the development and retention of well-trained, dedicated, and productive employees. • Improve access to and use of the parks by members of groups that have been underrepresented, such as disabled, economically disadvantaged, and elderly visitors. • Balance environmental concerns and outdoor recreational opportunities within regional parklands. • Provide recreational development that fosters appropriate use of parklands while preserving their remoteness and intrinsic value. • Create quality programs that recognize the cultural diversity represented in the region. • Participate in partnerships with public agencies, nonprofit organizations, volunteers, and the private sector to achieve mutual goals. • Provide leadership to help guide land use decisions of East Bay governments that relate to the District.

    SAN RAMON VALLEY HISTORICAL SOCIETY September 2018 Hiking Our Regional Trails was the topic at the May 17th Dinner Meeting At the May 17 Historical Society meeting, Geoff Gillette, Danville’s Public Information Officer, talked about Hiking the Trails. He loves to hike and shares this love with a Danville hiking group on the second Saturday of most months. Usually hikers should be 18 or older. Las Trampas Regional Wilderness was the first park he talked about. A huge park, it is over 5000 acres and still has a large northern area which is in land bank. Showing great photographs, he said that the Las Trampas hikes are not for the inexperienced or timid since the trails go up, up and up. Sometimes new hikers go part way and return, hiking at their own pace. Hikers go 6-9 miles and often go to Eagle and Las Trampas Peaks. The groups come up Hemme or Camille Ave. from Danville Blvd. or begin at the Briones Regional Park Bollinger staging area. He showed photos (continued on page 2) Photos courtesy of Geoff Gillette Caught Up In War - Our Local Soldiers and how lives were affected in our Valley will be the subject of the September 20th Dinner Meeting The Centennial of WWI and 50th Anniversary of the Tet Offensive will be featured locally in upcoming cosponsored mini exhibits, at the Military Museum in the Veterans Memorial Building and the Museum of the San Ramon Valley. Bill Green will address the Vietnam War for us at our September 20th meeting. Bill fought in Vietnam and frequently shares that scene with local schools.
