Saturday’s Earth Day Community Cleanup was more Saturday’s Earth Day Community Cleanup was more than a ton of fun! Here’s a summary of the success: Watching bag after bag of trash being tossed into that large dumpster, it was clear that the day was turning out to be a great success. And the obvious happiness and spirit of unity—even with masks covering everyone’s huge smiles—made it all even better. This was our first organized in-person event since COVID-19 hit us all over a year ago, and you could see how happy people were to be together this Earth Day, making things just a little bit nicer in our community. For sixty or so local volunteers, Earth Day began by drinking coffee and snacking on baked goods with friends in the public parking area behind City Hall, or meeting at the park in Chalfant, before heading out for a community cleanup. After a brief safety and logistics discussion, folks grabbed their gloves, bags, pickers and partners and fanned out to gather trash that has been thrown or blown all over our area. One group cleaned up along Highway 6 near Laws and the Owens River, while others went out to the river along Poleta Road... Read the full blog at the link in our bio!

Join us this Wednesday May 20 at 7:00pm. Brian Hat Join us this Wednesday May 20 at 7:00pm. Brian Hatfield of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife will share his photos and research on “Detecting the Threatened Sierra Nevada Red Fox.” The SNRF is a one of the rarest mammals in North America, limited to a handful of populations scattered across Oregon and northern California. A small population near Sonora Pass was thought to be at the southern limit of its range. But sightings two years ago in the Mono Creek area northwest of Bishop created renewed interest in this fox, as this was the furthest south this animal has been found in nearly 100 years.. . Brian Hatfield is the coordinator of surveys for the Sierra Nevada red fox and other alpine mesocarnivores in the central and southern Sierra Nevada. There will be an opportunity to ask Brian questions after the presentation. .
