SUMMARY:Wildmind Presents California Critters\, Live! for our Favorite Youngsters
DESCRIPTION:On April 18th at 1:00pm\, at our Visitor Center\, you and the children can see Tahoe\, a grey fox\, and 4 more lively fellas: an opossum\, a Red-tailed Hawk\, a porcupine\, and a Turkey Vulture\, while learning about their role\, their niche in their ecosystem & community. You will appreciate how these animals were not plucked from some normal existence in the wild\, but were doomed to die an imminent death if they had not been adopted by some smart & caring humans at Wildmind. (Wildmind photos) \n \nThese folks of Half Moon Bay have been nurturing these rescues\, loving them\, enjoying them\, and learning from them: Tahoe likes to roll around in pungent smells; Taborri\, a Red-tailed Hawk\, will only play with limegreen toys & due to a broken wing\, exercises by walking around with employees. Don’t miss all the action!

SUMMARY:Dr. Brian Fischer - Ants Everywhere: Diverse\, Invisible
DESCRIPTION:Come to our Visitor Center on March 30\, at 5pm\, and you will meet a scientist with non-stop curiosity who’s identified 1000 new species of Formicidae\, mostly in the protected area of Madagascar\, but who still enjoys learning about our local ants: Dr. Brian Fisher. \n \nAs a boy\, Brian knew he wanted to work outdoors\, in nature. Majoring in Biology at the University of Iowa\, he intended to study tropical plants\, but while doing field work in the rainforest of Panama\, as insects showered down on him from above\, the “love bug bit”\, the diversity of insects in that tropical world pulled him into their sphere. Now the demise of many species in the variety-basket that is Madagascar explains why Brian says\, “Save an ant\, save a planet”; there\, especially\, he’s learned ants are the glue that holds forests together. \nDr. Fisher is presently the curator of entomology at the Cal Academy of Sciences & adjunct professor at SFSU and UC Berkeley. \nHe has established the Madagascar Biodiversity Center\, has trained dozens of international graduate students in modern systematics & biodiversity methods\, so they can use ants to track biodiversity across the globe\, has written over 130 peer\nreviewed articles\, & so much more. \n \n(Above: one of Brian’s favorites\, the Trap-jaw ant.)

SUMMARY:Todd Braje: Tracking Homo Sapiens' Path to a New World
DESCRIPTION:On the evening of March 16\, at 5pm\, Dr. Todd Braje will present a program that will help explain how the first Americans settled in the “New World”. \n \nToday\, there are more questions than answers about the origins of these intrepid humans\, a situation that has stimulated new ideas and reinvigorated theories once considered marginal. Answers might be found along our Pacific shorelines\, where the floral & faunal giants of California such as kelp forests & sea mammals may have facilitated the peopling of the Americas. Research being conducted at the Cal Academy is working on these questions by looking under the sea in the largest scientific effort ever undertaken to identify submerged archaeological sites along California’s Pacific Coast\, sites that were above sea level during the time of the Bering Land Bridge. \nDr. Todd Braje is an anthropological archaeologist\, associate professor\, & the Irvine Chair of Anthropology at the California Academy of Sciences. \n \n(Smithsonian photograph of Canadian Inuit peoples)

SUMMARY:"Dead Whales Do Tell Tales" with Sue Pemberton
DESCRIPTION:On Feb. 16\, at 3pm\, Sue Pemberton will speak to Pacificans in our Visitor Center. Ms. Pemberton is a Curatorial Assistant in the Department of Ornithology & Mammalogy\, at the California Academy of Sciences\, where her work focuses primarily on marine mammals. As a member of the West Coast Stranding Network\, Cal Academy is responsible for examining dead marine mammals in order to learn about the health of whale populations & the threats they face. Among the areas she monitors is the Cal. coast from Ano Nuevo to Marin Co. \n \nA life-long nature girl and animal lover\, Sue discovered her passion for marine mammals as a rescue and rehabilitation volunteer with The Marine Mammal Center in 1993. She joined the Cal Academy as a volunteer in 2008\, beginning in their bone processing lab. Collecting data from marine mammals on local beaches soon followed\, and Sue was hired by the Cal Academy in January of 2011. \nBorn and raised in Pacifica\, Sue continues to live on the coast in El Granada. When she isn’t crawling around on dead things\, she loves spending time with her pets or hiking parks and beaches with friends.

SUMMARY:Potential Impact of Climate Change on California Vegetation
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Tom Parker will speak to us on Saturday\, January 26 at 3 pm on “Potential Impact of Climate Change on California Vegetation”. Since Humans are the principal drivers of climate change & most of us heed the latest warnings of “12 yrs till irreversibility”\, established at the Climate Conference in Poland this month\, Tom’s ideas have a heightened relevancy. \nDr. Parker’s talk will focus on two very different ecosystems: chaparral and tidal wetlands\, to provide examples of climate change impact. Though the specific processes are quite different for each case\, they are ultimately rooted in the same source\, the warming of the planet by increasing CO2 concentration. For chaparral\, the issue is a trend toward a reduced rainy season with greater potential for drying soils\, plants and wildfire. For tidal wetlands\, sea level rise is occurring at increasing rates\, although wetlands should be able to keep up for a few decades. Other issues include how climate change will impact the state’s overall hydrology\, leading to lower rates of freshwater flow into the Delta\, especially in the summer. \nDr. Parker\, a professor of biology at SFSU\, is an evolutionary ecologist focused on the role of plants in ecological communities\, especially the chaparral\, as in SPVP and on tidal wetlands. Tom has published more than one professional article in conjunction with Mike Vasey.

SUMMARY:Plant Micro-Habitats in San Pedro Park and Vicinity
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \n  \n“Mike Vasey will give a brief talk in the Visitor’s Center at 10 AM about the micro-climates and micro-habitats of San Pedro Valley Park followed by a hike up the Brooks Falls and Montara Mountain trails to the fire road and then down to some outstanding rocky outcrops above the saddle between Montara Mountain and San Pedro Mountain. \nThese rocky outcrops present an outstanding garden of native species like fairy lanterns\, purple onion\, and sedum – a host plant for the rare San Bruno Elfin butterfly.  The hike is challenging but beautiful. Return the way we came or stage a car at the end of Springwood Way (which connects to Old San Pedro Road directly below the rocky outcrop) and descend from there” \nThe hike is not for the feint of heart. Total round trip is 7.5 miles with a pretty big elevation gain.  Will take about 4.5 hours.  Pack a lunch and drinks. \nDownload power point of hike. San Pedro Park Hike \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:How Gaia Can Protect Against Ocean Acidification
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nAs atmospheric CO2 concentrations increase there has been great concern that oceans will acidify to the detriment of marine organisms. However their are reasons for optimism. \nIn a tribute to Dr. Lynn Margulis’ pioneering research and her promotion of Gaia theory\,  we explore how symbiosis has generated both new life forms and ecological interactions that now regulate global ecosystems. Margulis demonstrated that it is the  “cooperation between species” that has dramatically promoted a more resilient biosphere. Exploring the latest research on the interactions of marine organisms and climate change clearly demonstrates why it takes a biological  village to maintain resilient ocean ecosystems \nGaia has been described as the earth’s symbiosis as seen from space. In other words Gaia describes how all the earth’s organisms interact to affect climate and environment.  This talk explores how marine organisms like coral and plankton quickly absorb CO2 via photosynthesis\, and how that CO2 then passes through the food web to create the “biological pump” which moves CO2 from the ocean surface and stores it in the deep ocean for centuries and millennia. We also examine how human disturbances affect the biological pump. \nBecause Gaia theory has been variously described in popular media in more fanciful terms\, universities study these biosphere interactions under the title of  Earth System Sciences or Biogeochemistry. As our understanding of biosphere interactions improve\, a clearer picture of how the oceans will respond to human disturbances are evolving. \n. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Creepy Critters for Kids
DESCRIPTION:This program is especially for children and their parents\, grandparents\, and the very-much older “kids”. \nWildlife Assocatiates will bring a boa constrictor\, tortoise\, alligator\, tarantula  and  monitor lizard\,  live and “on stage”\,  to the Visitor Center of San Pedro Valley Park . \n \n  \nChildren love these critters that are from a class of animals that is a step away from most of our pets\, some of the most misunderstood animals of the wild.  The tortoise is a Mojave Desert one; the Monitor Lizard is huge and impressive. \nIt’s fun to watch the movement of all these creatures\, as each one is brought out onto a large table by the handlers.  Expert handlers plan to “dispel myths and explore the importance these animals have in nature’s diverse web of life”\, helping us see the significance of their existence\, as well as that of the reptiles and spiders of our Park.

SUMMARY:Ferns of San Pedro Valley Park
DESCRIPTION:Ferns of San Pedro Valley Park\n \nAt 1 PM fern expert Daniel Yansura will provide a slide show covering the basics of fern biology\, their evolution\, and the characters used to identify the California ferns we will likely see. \nBetween 2 and 4 PM we will hike a San Pedro Valley park trail to observe our resident ferns. We recommend people bring a 5-10X hand lens\, or any magnifying glass if possible for improved viewing of some key characters. \nDaniel Yansura recently retired from Genentech\, where he was a scientist since the early days of biotechnology;  his specialty was producing human proteins in bacteria.  He has been interested in ferns and lycophytes for more than forty years.  Thirty years ago he started growing ferns from spores in order to generate rare ferns for his own collection\, which now exceeds 300 species.  Ferns he has propagated can be seen at the SF Botanical Garden\, the UC Berkeley Botanical Garden\, the Conservatory of Flowers\, the Denver Botanic Gardens\, and the Smithsonian Institution Gardens in DC.  He travels all over the world\, photographing\, studying\, and collecting spores from rare ferns\, which he shares with local and international fern communities. With his experience in molecular biology\, he has used DNA sequencing to determine the species of unidentified ferns.    He is very involved with the San Francisco Fern Society as well as a number of other national and international fern groups.  He has led a two week tour\, “The Ferns of California\,” for the British Pteridological Society and the Hardy Fern Foundation\, and has given a number of presentations to organizations in the Bay Area\, Los Angeles\, and Houston. \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:San Pedro Creek: Past\, Present\, and Future
DESCRIPTION:San Pedro Creek Watershed:  What we know about watershed from 20 years of research\nJerry Davis is a Professor of Geography and Environmental Science at San Francisco State University\, and a former president of the San Pedro Creek Watershed Coalition.  He specializes in biogeomorphology\, and his research looks at the closely interlinked systems that interplay in the watershed:  its geology\, landforms\, soils\, and biotic environments\, as well as human impacts on the creek and its hillslopes.  These systems interact in multiple ways – there have also been significant impacts of the natural and built landscape on its residents\, including landslides taking out homes and backyards being undercut by slope failures and bank erosion. \nAlong with students and other faculty at San Francisco State University and members of the watershed coalition\, Jerry has been studying this creek and its watershed for about 20 years.  We’ve learned quite a lot about how the creek and its habitats work\, and how they relate to the natural and human environment they reside in.  But there’s still a lot to learn.  It’s time to take a look at where we are now\, and what we still need to do to understand and restore some of its ecological functions\, and in general to learn how we can best live with this unique and important landscape. \n

SUMMARY:Our Risk of Lyme Disease
DESCRIPTION:Jo Ellis is the head of Education Outreach for the Bay Area Lyme Foundation.  She is a native of the UK who was originally a Product Development Executive for BBC Education\, developing award-winning educational programs that are distributed worldwide. \n  \nHer direction changed as her passion led her to deep concerns about the effects of the disease on friends and acquaintances: \n  \n“I know too many people [here] whose lives have been derailed by Lyme…… I want to help educate everyone about this insidious disease so we can prevent more cases occurring.” \n \nThe tick that carries this disease has been found in SPVP\, though strangely\, the likelihood if its carrying the bacteria is lessened by the prevalence  of our fence lizard.  The infamous “deer tick” shown above is the carrier of the damaging bacteria\, Borrelia burgdorferi . \n  \n \n  \nMs. Ellis received her BA/MA from Cambridge University\, and a post-graduate high-school teaching certification from the University of London.  Jo holds the AMI middle school teaching certification\, and is a nationally recognized gifted and talented educator with Johns Hopkins University.
