SUMMARY:Native Bird Connections
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will showcase live\, non-releasable wild birds\, as well as touchable artifacts and related educational props. Join us for a window into the world of wild birds–their behavior\, life choices and needs. Be awed and inspired by these magnificent living beings. \nRegister Here \nAbout the organization:\nNative Bird Connections is a professional consulting and educational organization\, established in 2000. Our team of educators are dedicated to working with live wild birds while sharing educational messages with groups of all ages. We are privileged to share our educational endeavors with wild birds as our partners. Our birds are victims of permanent physical or psychological damage rendering them unable to survive in the wild. We have asked them to accept captivity within a realm of respect and trust\, acknowledging fully their loss of a wild life while challenging them to an active role as ambassadors and teachers.

SUMMARY:How Precise Pollen Placement Has Aided Diversification in Salvia | Speaker: Dr. Ricardo Kriebel
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, April 25th\, 2026\, at 7 pm\, the Friends of San Pedro Valley Park are pleased to welcome Dr. Ricardo Kriebel\, a botanist currently at the California Academy of Sciences. On a Zoom webinar\, he will present his lecture entitled “How precise pollen placement has aided diversification in Salvia.” With over 300\,000 species\, angiosperms (flowering plants) exhibit exceptional structural diversity in vegetative and reproductive traits. These traits have facilitated their spread across most terrestrial environments. Salvia\, which is in the Lamiaceae / Mint family\, has more than 1\,000 species and is among the largest angiosperm genera. It is notable for its floral diversification. This diversity has been widely attributed to the mechanism that enables precise pollen placement on pollinators. In this talk\, Dr. Kriebel will examine the evolutionary history of this mechanism and will present new observations about it. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Earth Day Work Party 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Friends of San Pedro Valley Park will once again celebrate Earth Day in 2026 with a restoration work party in the park. This year\, this event will take place on the actual commemorative Earth Day\, which is Wednesday\, April 22nd (replacing our usual Habitat Restoration event on the 3rd Saturday of each month). And it will again be a “rescue” day for the plants in our beloved\, but neglected\, Native Plant Garden\, as we go after removing the usual suspects of invasive plants\, weeds and plant debris. We will be concentrating our efforts on trying to enhance the garden and help bring it back to its former healthy and well-tended appearance. This year’s event will take place from 10 am until 1 pm next to the Visitor Center. Just bring your gloves and your sun hats…we’ll supply the tools and the knee pads! The two areas comprising the SPVP Native Plant Garden – there is a second section of garden located adjacent to the outdoor patio inside the fenced area of the Visitor Center that many visitors do not see – are ambassadors for the wild and wonderful biodiversity of our park\, so we need to have the plants in the garden be able to show themselves at their best for our visitors. We hope you can join us for this annual celebration of the native plant life in this\, our tiny corner of the planet.

SUMMARY:A Day in the Life of a Salmon
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, March 21st\, 2026\, at 7 pm\, the Friends of San Pedro Valley Park are pleased to welcome back John Kipping\, a lifelong naturalist and tour leader. On a Zoom webinar\, he will present his lecture entitled “A Day in the Life of a Salmon.” The northeastern Pacific is home to five species of salmon: chinook\, coho\, keta\, pink\, and sockeye. These amazing and tasty fish have been of great importance to both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. They can be considered keystone species as so many other life forms are affected by their activities. Join naturalist John Kipping as we venture into the breeding areas of Southeast Alaska and British Columbia where these fishes return to their freshwaters to breed and die. During this presentation we learn about the food webs ashore and at sea which are sustained by these vital fish. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:The Cooper’s Hawk: Life Beyond the Forest | Speaker: Craig Nikitas
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, February 28\, 2026\, at 7 pm\, the Friends of San Pedro Valley Park are pleased to welcome back Craig Nikitas\, a wildlife volunteer working with raptors for over fifty years. On a Zoom webinar\, he will present his lecture entitled “The Cooper’s Hawk: Life Beyond the Forest.” This presentation will examine in detail what has become one of our most common Bay Area raptor species. The taxonomy\, natural history and life cycle of this fierce avian predator will be discussed\, and observable characteristics of form\, plumage\, and behavior will be reviewed so that attendees can improve their identification skills. We hope to enable observers to distinguish the two sexes and two age groups of Cooper’s Hawks from other species\, especially the similar Sharp-shinned Hawk. The talk will conclude with a short overview of hazards this raptor faces in its proximity to humans\, and some brief anecdotes about rescues from these hazards. \nRegister here!

SUMMARY:Manzanitas and Their Animals: Keys to Evolution | Speaker: Dr. Tom Parker
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, January 17\, 2026\, at 7 pm\, the Friends of San Pedro Valley Park are pleased to welcome back Dr. Tom Parker\, Professor of Biology\, Emeritus\, from San Francisco State University. On a Zoom webinar\, he will present his lecture entitled Manzanitas and their animals – keys to evolution. Arctostaphylos (manzanitas) has over a hundred different taxa. In contrast to the other members of the Ericaceous subfamily Arbutoideae\, Arctostaphylos has evolved dormant seed\, seed banks that persist decades in the soil\, and obligate seeding species (species killed by fire)\, among other traits. Animals are likely one of the stimuli to that diversification. This talk will focus on that hypothesis\, starting with surveying animals at different stages of manzanita’ s life history. Tom Parker will focus on some of his current research that establishes seed banks resulting from rodent caching of fruit\, and the implications of that for taxa living in arid\, canopy fire regions. Because soil seed banks are so critical to the success of this genus\, he developed a model of seed bank dynamics\, and the role rodents play in managing them. Consequently\, there are not only evolutionary implications\, but insights for those managing chaparral with Arctostaphylos species.

SUMMARY:Wild Things - Kid's Wildlife Talk (Rescheduled)
DESCRIPTION:Wild Things provides a home for over 60 species of wildlife. Many of these animals are shared in our wildlife education presentations. Their hope is through meeting these animals and hearing their stories\, future generations will gain a greater appreciation for the natural world. \nThe Friends of San Pedro Valley Park once again welcome our friend Gabe Kerschner and his wonderful Wild Things show to the park on Monday\, June 23rd at 11:30 am in the North Walnut Grove Group Picnic Area of San Pedro Valley Park. \nLast year’s program was fabulous and the ever affable Gabe again brought lots of smiles and laughs (and groans) to us all with his puns and jokes. So do join us for this treat. You won’t want to miss it!! \nRegister of the event here!
