The project was started at the request of Roger Samuelsen, Director Emeritus of UC’s Natural Reserve System and Larry Ford, Vice President of the Institute for Sustainable Development; they got the project off the ground and through their fund- raising efforts we were able to inaugurate and complete this project on an accelerated timetable. The generous donors who made this possible include the Kenneth S. Norris Fund; Gary Griggs, director of the Long Marine Laboratory and Institute of Marine Sciences; Alexander A. Glazer, director of UC’s Natural Reserve System; UCSC’s Environmental Studies Department; Tom Morrish; Seeley W. Mudd, II; and an anonymous donor. My gratitude to Ken Norris, who was so generous in spending time with me as he shared many aspects of his life; he was joyous, introspective, humorous, spontaneous, and despite his weakened condition, he gave these interviews his all. I will always appreciate that we completed together as much as we did. I also experienced what so many have said about Ken: that he made each person feel unique and appreciated. He was sui generis. Ken’s colleagues and friends made themselves available for interviews on short notice during a difficult time. Their recollections and insights into Norris’s life and work have made this book possible. Irene Reti, the Assistant Editor of the Regional History Project, has been my indefatigable colleague and partner in interviewing, research, endless fact- checking, typographical decisions, design, and layout, and the mechanics of bookmaking. Her enthusiasm, hard work, discriminating eye, and devo- tion have made this a joyous endeavor from beginning to end. Larry Ford, a walking encyclopedia of Norris’s work at the NRS, in the Natural History Field Quarter, and in the Environmental Field Program, has been a constant inspiration; he wrote me numerous e-mails answering dozens of questions and assisted in fact-checking countless dates, names, and details. His abid- ing support and help throughout have been invaluable. Guy Oliver provided energy, suggestions, and enthusiasm throughout the project, providing me with much information as I conducted research and selected interviewees. My thanks to Daniel P. Costa for his permission to include his bibliography of Norris’s publications in this volume. Phylly Norris graciously answered numerous questions so we could get all the details right. Paul Rich generously shared with me his insights into Ken Norris’s evolution as a scientist and the nature of his creativity. Many thanks as well to Carol Howard and Susan Rumsey for their assistance in loaning and locating photographs for this book. When we were feeling helpless with computer problems, Raymund Ramos gave emergency computer assistance on many occasions, as did Susan Kramer. And thanks as well to Sharon Call, for her patient assistance and eagle-eye in keeping track of the numerous financial details of this project. The Regional History Project is supported administratively by Alan Ritch, the head of Collection Planning, and University Librarian Allan J. Dyson, both of whom have been enthusiastic and appreciative colleagues in this endeavor. Lorie Cahn (L) & Shoo Shoo Salasky (R) with Ken Norris, 1978. Photo by Tom O’Leary “I think of Ken Norris often—when I admire a grand expanse of wildland, when I have a new insight into why a plant grows where it grows, when I spent time with students eager for discovery, when I share companionship and laughter and song, when I sit with discipline to write at my computer, when I gaze at a clear running stream and try to embrace all of the connections in the universe in my own small way. Ken will always be an important part of my life.” —Paul Rich Photo by Donald J. Usner Contents Acknowledgements Introduction 1 Part I: Kenneth S.

  • Background of Younger Lagoon Reserve
    Background to Younger Lagoon Reserve 1 Naomi Stern Senior Internship Professor Karen Holl Winter 2013 Background to Younger Lagoon Reserve: A Socio-political Perspective Introduction Younger Lagoon Reserve (YLR) is a 72 acre (29 hectare) protected natural area surrounded by a diverse mix of agricultural and urban land uses. YLR is part of the University of California Natural Reserve System (UCNRS). Founded in 1965, the UC NRS is a network of protected lands that are used for research, education and public service. Today there are 39 reserves spanning approximately 750,000 acres of rare or endangered ecosystems in California (UC Natural Reserve 2012). UC Santa Cruz manages four reserves: Año Nuevo Island Reserve, Fort Ord Natural Reserve, Landels-Hill Big Creek Reserve in Big Sur, and Younger Lagoon Reserve. Located only half a mile north from one of the most popular beaches in Santa Cruz, Natural Bridges State Park, and near Highway 1, YLR land is highly visible to the public. YLR’s habitat types include such as seasonal freshwater wetlands, coastal prairie, and coastal scrub. Throughout its history, this land and its ecology have been continuously transformed by the social, economic, and political issues of the time. Today, adjacent to the reserve are highly visited tourist attractions and official government agencies, as well as world-class marine laboratories. The history of land use conversion and public policy at YLR influences the managerial restoration decisions made to protect it. Developing an understanding of the political systems Background to Younger Lagoon Reserve 2 that impact Younger Lagoon provides insight into the restoration that interns and volunteers take part in.
