SUMMARY:Sacramento River Bend Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Sacramento River Bend Field Trip \nSaturday\, December 9th\, 9:30 am \nThis joint SEA/CNPS field trip will be to the BLM’s Sacramento River Bend in Tehama County. It will be two short\, easy walks totaling about 4 miles on a generally flat trail along Paynes Creek where in one section we will see a riparian area of California sycamores (Platanus racemosa) with an understory of many California buckeye (Aesculus californica). This will be a good way to learn how to identify shrubs and trees in the fall\, most without their leaves which walk leader David Ledger will identify. \nThe second short walk will be in the riparian forest next to the Sacramento River. If excessively muddy\, we will walk a different trail. \nBring water\, lunch\, boots\, and layered clothes. If there’s a drizzle or light rain\, bring an umbrella\, but rain cancels (It rains way less in Tehama County). \nFor more information\, contact walk leader David Ledger at david@ecoshasta.org. SIGN UP at our MeetUp webpage https://www.meetup.com/shasta-environmental-alliance-sea/ and make sure to sign the waiver!!! Meet at the CVS parking lot at Buena Ventura and Placer at 9:30 am.

SUMMARY:Jenny Creek Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Jenny Creek Field Trip \nWednesday\, November 8\, 9:30 am \nThis will be a short\, off-trail hike in the City of Redding Open Space through a blue oak woodland near Jenny Creek where a proposed trail may be built. \nWe will examine the advantages and disadvantages of a trail in this area. This will be a two-mile out-and-back hike between the TR Woods Park on Royal Oaks Drive and the Sacramento River Trail on very uneven ground. Only those with good balance should go on this hike as it will be up and down small ravines on sloping ground. \nWe will examine the possible route of the proposed trail and each person can determine whether the loss of habitat outweighs the advantages of a 12-foot wide paved and lighted trail to eventually reach the Sacramento River Trail. We will also look at a trail connecting Overhill Road with the river trail and another foot trail that leads to the neighborhood. \nPlease sign up on our Meetup.org page for more information and starting location: CLICK HERE \nPlease sign a liability waiver: CLICK HERE  \nYou must sign the waiver to participate. Limited to 14 participants.

SUMMARY:Newville Ponds – Burris Creek at Black Butte Lake Recreation Area (Wintu Audubon event)
DESCRIPTION:Newville Ponds – Burris Creek at Black Butte Lake Recreation Area (Wintu Audubon event) \nOctober 14th @ 7:30 am \nWe will meet at the parking lot for Newville Ponds which is located on Newville Road west of Stoney Creek bridge. https://goo.gl/maps/C78SVShicsrhr2QR7 \nWhy would you want to visit these two unique locations that are part of the US Army Corps of Engineer’s Black Butte Recreation Area? For the birds of course\, and in particular\, vast numbers of waterbirds. Newville Ponds\, North of the lake\, are fed water through Black Butte Lakes Dam system that regulates the flow of Stoney Creek. This time of year\, the dam release can be large which allows water releases to spread out across several acres creating ideal habitat for many waterbirds of many varieties. \nBurris Creek\, primary access of Black Butte Lake’s Southern Shoreline\, begins to recede in the fall where the shore begins to widen at a very shallow section of the lake. This too becomes ideal for waterbirds. Burris Creek also has the added feature of large dense willow trees\, flowering plants\, and prime oak woodlands for those non-waterbird species. \nEntrance fees are $6.00\, but federal annual and lifetime passes are honored at this Recreation Area. We always recommend carpooling and instruction regarding where to meet might be available on website. Daniel Bye will lead this Bird Walk\, please bring insect repellant\, lunch or snack and plenty of water\, Burris Creek may require some walking and the ground conditions vary from wet to dry\, so please be prepared.

SUMMARY:BLM Restoration Field Trip with SEA
DESCRIPTION:BLM Restoration Field Trip with SEA \nSaturday\, July 1\, 8:00 am \nEmail david@ecoshasta.org to sign up \nShasta Environmental Alliance (SEA) will be sponsoring a field trip led by Bureau of Land Management (BLM) ecologist Brooke Thompson at a 426-acre property on the Sacramento River near Battle Creek. This will be more of a driving and walking lecture than a hike as Brooke will explain how the BLM plan to restore this riparian area. This will be an exciting and rare opportunity to see the “before” picture of a long-term restoration project with an explanation of all of the issues involved and the sensitive species that will be helped. The area is on the east side of the Sacramento River. To sign up and for meeting information contact David Ledger at david@ecoshasta.org. See below for an excellent description of the project. \nThe Bureau of Land Management Redding Field Office acquired the 426-acre Rancho Breisgau Unit adjacent to Battle Creek and the Sacramento River in 2011 to restore the area to a riparian oak woodland. This project is part of a landscape initiative to restore the Battle Creek watershed due to its critical importance for threatened and endangered salmon and steelhead runs (notably Endangered winter-run Chinook)\, the Western Monarch\, the Threatened Western Yellow-billed Cuckoo\, and the Threatened Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle.  \nThis BLM property has been heavily degraded and fragmented for over a century due to intensive agriculture. Landscape conversions over such a long period have resulted in fallow fields dominated by non-native\, invasive species. Currently\, a stark 10% of Valley riparian forests in California remains due to decades of decline from agriculture\, urbanization\, and altered hydrology. It is critical that the BLM seeks out riparian restoration projects on large pieces of contiguous land so these ecosystems can be conserved for the enjoyment and benefit of current and future generations. \nThis project is to implement the Rancho Breisgau riparian restoration on approximately 130 acres. Site preparation will include the removal of walnut orchards and the manual and chemical treatment of non-native\, invasive species. Currently\, the site is 100% dominated by a monoculture of Cal-IPC-listed invasive species growing to the maximum extent of their phenology. Intensive treatment of invasive species\, including mechanical and chemical treatments\, will be critical prior to planting and will also remove a major source of weed seed from BLM-administered land. After initial site preparation native trees\, shrubs\, grasses\, and forbs will be planted and irrigated until they are self-sustaining around 3 years. This important step of riparian restoration is critical to the success of these projects and will drastically improve the success of the restoration. Restoration in valley ecosystems is among the most important work we can do to conserve sensitive species’ habitats\, protect threatened ecosystem types\, and fight the climate crisis.

SUMMARY:Iron Mountain Mine Superfund Site Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Iron Mountain Mine Superfund Site \nWednesday\, June 21\, 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm \nRedding Library Community Room \n  \nThis presentation\, originally scheduled in March\, was canceled after 30 minutes by the library staff because of a snowstorm. Due to many requests\, we have rescheduled it for June 21. It is an excellent talk. \n  \nThe Iron Mountain Mine northwest of Redding and above Keswick Lake was once one of the worst point sources of water pollution in the United States. It regularly polluted the Sacramento River with toxic chemicals until it was established as a Superfund Site by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1983. It also has the world’s most acidic water\, -3.8 on the scientific scale of acidity. \n  \nIt is not an understatement to say that the Iron Mountain Mine Superfund Site is a unique place that attracts scientific interest globally. It is located just above Keswick Reservoir. Tom Wallis\, has been doing consulting work on the Mine for over 10 years for the United States Environmental Protection Agency. He will give a presentation on the mine’s history\, including the release of toxic minerals into the Sacramento River\, the startup of the Superfund site\, and the nationally recognized successful remediation that protects the water of the Sacramento River. \nFor more information\, contact David Ledger at david@ecoshasta.org
