Chapparal, Help Protect What's Left
presented by Rick Halsey
Of all the distinct, natural communities in California, only one is found throughout and only one can be said to represent the state’s most characteristic wilderness: chaparral, a special plant community characterized by drought-hardy, woody shrubs, shaped by a Mediterranean-type climate (summer drought, winter rain) and intense, infrequent wildfires. It is within the chaparral where California will find its best and perhaps last chance to reclaim its wildness and preserve the quality of life made possible by the region's natural, open spaces. The Chapparal Institute is a resource for natural history enthusiasts, research scientists, and wildland firefighters. Rick Halsey continues his work for this importatnt California habitat through The Chapparal Institute which he founded. He grew up in Long Beach and joined El Dorado Audubon as a young man.

Weekday Field Trip
Thursday, March 18th, 9:00a.m.
Golden Shore Marine Reserve
by Carolyn Vance
Last year’s trip in last April was great, but not enough shore birds. We’re going to try for them this month. This little-known place is where the L.A. River joins the Pacific Ocean. There are also some wonderful trees the line the parking lot of the businesses there that produces some wonderful birds last year.
Meet at the south end of the El Dorado branch Library (on Studebaker Rd. just south of Spring St., Long Beach) on Thursday, March 18th at 9:00 a.m. to carpool or at the metered (quarters needed) parking lot at the entrance of the Reserve at 9:30 a.m. Remember to bring binoculars, a hat, field guide, water and snacks and a spotting scope if you have one. It is an easy walk on pavement. If you have any questions, call me, Carolyn Vance, at 562-594-7589.
Directions (from meeting place): Take Ocean Blvd. east through downtown Long Beach almost to the 710 Fwy just east of the L.A. River. Turn left (south – the Hilton Hotel is on the corner), go over a slight rise. The Reserve is right next to a RV Park and there is a sign on the right hand side for parking. If you pass the Chancellor’s office you’ve gone too far. (Thomas Guide page 825, C-1) |
