SUMMARY:Finding the Mammoth Grove Hotel
DESCRIPTION:Finding the Mammoth Grove Hotel\nA History Talk at Calaveras Big Trees \n\n\n\nJoin Us for “Finding the Mammoth Grove Hotel” \nThe Calaveras Big Trees Association is delighted to invite you to Finding the Mammoth Grove Hotel\, a special presentation uncovering the story of the grand resort that once welcomed travelers from around the world beneath our ancient giants. \nFor decades\, the Mammoth Grove Hotel stood as the heart of the North Grove\, a gathering place for early tourists\, dignitaries\, and dreamers drawn to the big trees\, until fire took it in 1943. Presenters Joan Allday and Sally Finch will share their story through archival photographs\, old records\, and the memories of those who came before us. In this presentation\, they’ll share what they’ve found and what still remains a mystery. \nFor those of us who call the Sierra Nevada home\, the hotel’s story feels like a missing piece of our own. \nDon’t miss this rare opportunity to hear Joan and Sally speak\, ask questions\, and connect with others who share a love for this place and its history. \n\n\nEvent Details\nDate: Saturday\, August 15\, 2026\nTime: 10:00 a.m.\nLocation: Education Center\, Calaveras Big Trees State Park \n\n\nAbout the Presenters\nSally Finch is a CBTA Board Member with a deep commitment to preserving and sharing the history of Calaveras Big Trees State Park. \nJoan Allday is a long-time docent and former CBTA board member whose years of oral history interviews with park visitors and community members helped launch CBTA’s History Project\, preserving the stories that shape our understanding of this special place.

SUMMARY:M. Kat Anderson - Author Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Author Talk with M. Kat Anderson\nA Special Morning at Calaveras Big Trees \nJoin Us for an Author Talk with M. Kat Anderson \nThe Calaveras Big Trees Association is delighted to welcome ethnobotanist and author M. Kat Anderson for a morning of inspiration and discovery. \nWhat does it mean to truly belong to a landscape\, to listen to it\, and let it sing back? In her new book\, I Sing to the Earth and She Sings Back\, ethnobotanist M. Kat Anderson invites us into a more intimate\, embodied relationship with the natural world\, one grounded in presence\, reciprocity\, and a reawakening of ancestral ways of knowing. \nBuilding on the foundation of her landmark book Tending the Wild\, which transformed how we understand Indigenous stewardship of California’s landscapes\, Anderson draws from decades of collaboration with Native elders and a lifetime of personal experience as an ecologist and seeker. She weaves storytelling\, cultural insight\, and practical guidance into ten lyrical chapters that speak powerfully to our moment of ecological reckoning and spiritual disconnection\, offering a grounded and hopeful path to reconnection — one that honors Indigenous wisdom without appropriating it. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to hear Kat speak\, ask questions\, and connect with others who share a love for the living world. \nI Sing to the Earth and She Sings Back and Tending the Wild are available at the Big Trees Visitor Center. For more information on these books\, visit   M. Kat Anderson’s website. \n\n\nAbout the Author\nM. Kat Anderson is an ethnobotanist whose thirty-year collaboration with California’s Indigenous elders and traditional knowledge holders has shaped how scientists and land stewards understand the natural world. Author of the landmark Tending the Wild and the newly released I Sing to the Earth\, and She Sings Back (2026)\, her work is a lifelong devotion to restoring our relationship with the land.

This presentation will describe how changing environmental conditions present novel challenges to the health and survival of giant sequoias and highlight ongoing efforts to study and protect these forests in an era of rapid global change. \n  \n \nAnthony Ambrose\n“I’m a forest ecologist focused on studying and protecting ancient trees and forests around the world. I’m interested in understanding how  trees grow and interact with their environment\, how forests respond to environmental change\, and how science and public outreach can be used to help conserve forest ecosystems on a rapidly changing planet.” \n \nWendy Baxter\nThe beauty of natural landscapes has captivated me all my life. I have been fortunate enough to work in some of the most pristine old-growth giant sequoia and coast redwood forests in California as a researcher at UC Berkeley in Professor Todd Dawson’s lab\, collaborating closely with forest ecologist\, Anthony Ambrose. \n  \nAll seminars are free and open to the public.
