Field Raptor Training
See Advisories For Current Restrictions
***Updated March 10, 2010***

Join ACSD and the Cleveland National Forest for raptor monitoring at some of our local crags. As part of the CNF’s new raptor monitoring protocol, monitoring for prairie and peregrine falcon nesting activity will be performed before advisories or closures are enacted. Come out and meet CNF Biologists and learn how to spot local raptor species and interpret their behaviors. Bring your binoculars and scopes if you have them.

Corte Madera Mtn. – March 20th, (Sat.) 10:00am.  Meet at intersection of Los Pinos and Corral Canyon Roads.  Some hiking is involved and the group will likely be out there a few hours.  Basically an all day event.

Eagle Peak – March 27th (Sat.) 09:00am.  Meet at the trailhead on Boulder Creek Road. Moderate amount of hiking, will be out there at least 3 to 4 hrs.  Basically an all day event.

Some of these site visits require a fair amount of hiking to access, so dress and bring water/food as needed. Bring binoculars if you have them. Spotting scopes will be available. You do not have to attend every site visit, however we really encourage folks who spend time at these sites to participate.

The main purpose of this volunteer program is to share information and help monitor these sites to get as timely information as possible about raptor nesting status. Please remember to car pool if you can and give yourself enough time to reach the meeting locations as well. A high clearance and 4WD vehicle is recommended for the road to Corte Madera. See you all there!!

Mt Woodson Shin-Dig!
March 19-21, 2010

Locals have set up a reunion at Mt Woodson*

“This should be better/cooler (temp) than the last!                        
The date is set: March 19, 20, 21, 2010 up at Mt. Woodson.

Come one, come all, young and old, local and far off. Yet, also, looking for those that attended the last shin-dig in '07 and those that attended the contest in 1986 and 1990! This should be a historic event for Woodson's history and a chance for the young and old to come together and enjoy what we all can't seem to get enough of! Plans include: guest appearances, both from the past and present, and product giveaways, along with post climb slideshows and party over a three day weekend!”

Bring your crash pad and head to Mt Woodson for a few days of bouldering and catching up with old friends. A presentation will be held at Vertical Hold Friday March 19 and Lynne is hosting a party Saturday night.
