SUMMARY:Understanding Bird Songs with David Lukas
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special talk\, Understanding Bird Songs\, with David Lukas at C5 Studios. Since the dawn of time humans have been fascinated and inspired by bird songs. But how do we study bird songs today\, and what have these studies taught us about the world of bird song? In this talk we will explore how and why birds sing\, and how we study bird songs as a way of understanding what they are saying to each other. This talk will open a new world for you because bird songs and vocalizations are a huge part of how birds interact with each other\, and they are one of the most important ways we appreciate birds. \nDavid Lukas is well-known naturalist and author who has studied and written extensively about the natural history and birds of the Sierra Nevada. He has also led thousands of natural history tours\, classes\, workshops\, and presentations. David’s most recent project is producing a weekly nature newsletter at www.lukasguides.com. \nThis event is a collaboration between Eastern Sierra Land Trust and C5 Studios Community Arts Center. This is a donation-based event\, suggested donation $10 – $20. No advance registration required.

SUMMARY:Beaver and Process-Based Restoration From Ridge To River
DESCRIPTION:Process-based restoration is a holistic approach to restoring degraded watersheds that aims to re-establish keystone processes such as sediment transport\, carbon sequestration\, nutrient cycling\, and fire resiliency. Process-based restoration considers the functions and needs of the entire watershed – from ridge to river – and seeks to harness naturally occurring\, onsite energy (including that of beaver) and materials to achieve upland\, meadow\, wetland\, river and floodplain restoration goals. These practices are adaptive over time to environmental feedback with the goal of encouraging a self-sustaining\, dynamic ecosystem. Where appropriate\, working with beaver and process together can accentuate and accelerate these habitat restoration\napproaches. \nJoin restoration professionals Kate Lundquist and Brock Dolman (Occidental Arts & Ecology Center WATER Institute) and Kevin Swift (Swift Water Design) for an entertaining evening of stories and images illustrating their decade and a half collaboration to restore watersheds using beaver and process across the arid west and the globe. Learn more about how our holistic Fuels to Flows and other techniques can help you meet your water\, land and species management goals. \nThis is a donation-based event\, suggested donation $10 – $20. No advance registration required.

SUMMARY:Mule Deer Migration Corridor Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Join Eastern Sierra Land Trust and CA Department of Fish and Wildlife for an informative field trip in the Round Valley mule deer herd’s migration corridor. While looking for deer making their annual journey\, wildlife biologist\, Dan Taylor\, with CDFW will lead us on an educational tour of the Round Valley mule deer herd’s winter range\, and share updates and information on some of the challenges the deer are facing. \nThe Mule Deer Migration Corridor Field Trip is a free\, family-friendly event. Please do not bring dogs\, but do remember to dress for the weather. Light refreshments and snacks will be provided. Binoculars are recommended to view the deer\, but they are not required. Please contact Gena\, gena@eslt.org with any questions. The exact meeting location will be emailed in the week before the field trip to those that RSVP.  \nMule deer are an iconic species in the Western US. Perhaps you have seen them take bounding\, stiff-legged hops through the sagebrush\, or noticed their large\, mule-like ears. Maybe you saw a mule deer from the Round Valley herd! \nThe Round Valley mule deer herd migrates seasonally between the valley floor in the winter and mountain meadows in the summer. On their journey\, they must pass through a thin bottleneck in Swall Meadows. ESLT was founded to conserve this important migration corridor through conservation easements. \nRSVP Here!\nThanks to Richard Bellamy for the usage of his photo.
