SUMMARY:Creek Critters is Back!!
DESCRIPTION:There be critters in that there creek! \n.\nJoin us at the Beaver Creek Picnic Area\, every Saturday from 1-2pm\, to search for critters in Beaver Creek! While you’re there\, you’ll discover all kinds of interesting creatures and learn about the role they play in creating a healthy ecosystem. Make sure you bring your water shoes and be prepared to get wet!\n.\nYou may remember that\, last year\, we had Creek Critter programs on Saturdays AND Tuesdays. For now\, Tuesday programs are TBD\, but watch this space for updates.\n.\nThe Beaver Creek Picnic Area is located about 9 miles down the Walter W. Smith Memorial Parkway\, so it might take you an extra 30 minutes to get there once you’ve entered the park – plan accordingly!\n.\nAlso keep in mind\, there may be one-way traffic control in some areas along the Parkway this weekend as our fire crews monitor and mop up the recent prescribed burn. If that is the case\, your arrival to Beaver Creek may be even further delayed by up to ten minutes.

SUMMARY:Creek Critters is Back!!
DESCRIPTION:This is Creek Critters\nEvery Tuesday and Saturday at 1pm throughout the summer\, dozens of excited children and their parents gather for Creek Critters.\n\nCreek Critters is a time for exploring Beaver Creek\, looking for aquatic insects. Pairs of children\, wade into the clear\, shallow waters\, clutching plastic cups\, turning over rocks and searching intently. Then some child shrieks\, “Look what I found!” And then another calls out. Within 5 minutes\, the creek is filled with waders finding critters.\n\nCreek Critters is when children gallop out of the water\, head to the tables with cups full of critters\, and pour them into share tubs for everyone to see. Enthusiastic volunteers help with microscopes and magnifiers\, engaging the children in discovery. Sierra Guidebooks whip open\, and young ones become amateur entomologists as they try to identify what they’ve found.\n\n\nJoin in the fun! \nMeet at Beaver Creek \nTuesday and Saturday  1pm

SUMMARY:Creek Critters is Back!!
DESCRIPTION:There be critters in that there creek! \n.\nJoin us at the Beaver Creek Picnic Area\, every Saturday from 1-2pm\, to search for critters in Beaver Creek! While you’re there\, you’ll discover all kinds of interesting creatures and learn about the role they play in creating a healthy ecosystem. Make sure you bring your water shoes and be prepared to get wet!\n.\nYou may remember that\, last year\, we had Creek Critter programs on Saturdays AND Tuesdays. For now\, Tuesday programs are TBD\, but watch this space for updates.\n.\nThe Beaver Creek Picnic Area is located about 9 miles down the Walter W. Smith Memorial Parkway\, so it might take you an extra 30 minutes to get there once you’ve entered the park – plan accordingly!\n.\nAlso keep in mind\, there may be one-way traffic control in some areas along the Parkway this weekend as our fire crews monitor and mop up the recent prescribed burn. If that is the case\, your arrival to Beaver Creek may be even further delayed by up to ten minutes.

SUMMARY:Interpretive Master Plan Development
DESCRIPTION:Public Workshops\nPlanners from Riggs Ward Design\, working with California State Parks\, are holding two public workshops to hear input from the community on the education and interpretation at Calaveras Big Trees State Park. For questions or more information\, please contact Amber Sprock at (209) 540-6857 or amber.sprock@parks.ca.gov . \nIN-PERSON WORKSHOP \n\n\nJuly 12\, 2023      Time: 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.\nLocation: Jack Knight Hall\, Calaveras Big Trees State Park\nVITRUAL WORKSHOP\n\nAugust 9\, 2023     Time: 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.\nLink: August 9\, 2023 Zoom Meeting Link\n\nWhat is an interpretive master plan?\nAn Interpretation Master Plan takes a long-range approach to interpretation planning and may be developed for a unit\, sector\, or geographical region\, or may be used for particular resources found throughout the state. It updates and expands upon the General Plan and is intended to help guide park unit staff toward realizing its vision for interpretation. The Master Plan provides greater background and context\, while analyzing existing conditions and looking at opportunities and constraints for expanding interpretation and meeting visitor needs. A Master Plan offers recommendations for facilities\, media and programs\, with objectives and strategies that are in line with the park unit’s goals and guidelines. The Master Plan can be a stand-alone document or combined with an Action Plan. Master Plans may be used to request and attract funding for project-specific development. \nCalifornia State Park Master Plan Samples
