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

SUMMARY:Cancelled - Prescribed Burning
DESCRIPTION:ARNOLD\, Calif.— California State Parks in cooperation with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) will be continuing to conduct prescribed burns in Calaveras Big Trees State Park on November 1\, 2022. This is the third of a series of prescription burns planned for the park this fall. \nThis particular project will cover approximately 23 acres along Highway 4. Ignition is dependent on weather conditions and resources. The units have been prepared for prescription burns. Active firing is expected to last one day; however\, smoke will remain in the area for some time after active firing has stopped. Visitors and residents should expect one-lane traffic control along Highway 4 during daytime hours on November 1. Motorists should exercise extreme caution driving along Highway 4 during nighttime hours from the park boundary through Arnold due to potential heavy smoke and reduced visibility. \nPrescribed fire is an important\, proactive resource to protect giant sequoias\, and the park\, from the catastrophic destruction of wildfires. As evidenced in the southern Sierra groves\, dry conditions\, heavy fuel loads\, and high-intensity wildfires have led to the loss of giant sequoias at a rate not previously seen. Prescribed burns reduce the fuel load\, can help slow or stop wildfires in treated areas\, and mimic a more natural\, low-intensity fire which is necessary for new sequoia growth. \nForest thinning and prescribed fire restore and maintain an ecologically healthy forest system. Additional benefits from the department’s prescribed fire program include vegetation management\, wildlife habitat improvement\, and enhancement of the health of the forest by removing diseased materials\, restoring essential nutrients to the soil\, and allowing sunlight to reach the forest floor. \nIn partnership with Save the Redwoods League\, this year’s prescribed burns are funded through a grant from CAL FIRE’s California Climate Investments Program. The Giant Sequoia Forest Resilience Project is part of California Climate Investments\, a statewide program that puts billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing GHG emissions\, strengthening the economy\, and improving public health and the environment– particularly in disadvantaged communities. The Cap-and-Trade program also creates a financial incentive for industries to invest in clean technologies and develop innovative ways to reduce pollution. California Climate Investments projects include affordable housing\, renewable energy\, public transportation\, zero-emission vehicles\, environmental restoration\, more sustainable agriculture\, recycling\, and much more. At least 35 percent of these investments are located within and benefiting residents of disadvantaged communities\, low-income communities\, and low-income households across California. For more information\, visit the California Climate Investments website at: www.caclimateinvestments.ca.gov. \nAlthough prescribed burns produce significantly less smoke than wildfires\, communities near Calaveras Big Trees State Park\, including Arnold\, Dorrington\, Big Trees Village\, White Pines\, Blue Lake Springs\, and Love Creek may experience smoke from the burning operations. Prescribed burns produce significantly less smoke than wildfires. The department plans and coordinates these burns with the Calaveras and Tuolumne County Air Districts to minimize the smoke in surrounding communities. All burning depends on weather and air quality conditions that are favorable for smoke dispersal. If the conditions\, such as weather or vegetation are not conducive for burning\, the department will reschedule the burn. \nCalifornia State Parks and CAL FIRE follow the safety protocols set by public health officials and make accommodations to limit exposure among first responders and field crews to protect staff from COVID-19 during prescribed burns. \nFor questions or comments about the project or about the prescribed burn program\, contact Heather Reith\, Acting Public Information Officer\, at (209) 768-5217.

SUMMARY:Astronomy Nights at the Park
DESCRIPTION:Come look at the stars! Docents will be sharing information and telling stories as everyone gazes at the night sky. Two telescopes and astronomical binoculars will give you a closer look at the moon\, planets and deep sky objects. \nWe’re excited to have a webcam for one of the telescopes\, so images can be shown on a 40” monitor in real time. No more standing in line to look through the big telescope! \nMeet us at the Scenic Overlook in the park\, just a few miles past the Visitor Center. This is one of the best night sky viewing areas in the region. Bring a chair or blanket to sit on. \nThe Astronomy program at the park is run entirely by docent volunteers with significant investment by the Calaveras Big Trees Association. \nPlease join us! \nPlease call 209-795-7980 with any questions. \nDownload Flyer by Clicking Here \n2022 Dates:\nMay 26                8 pm\nJune 23               8:30pm\nJuly 7                   7:30pm   (moon night)\nJuly 21                 8:30 pm\nAugust 4             7pm (moon night)\nAugust 25           8pm\nSeptember 8      7:30pm (moon night)\nSeptember 29    7:30pm\nOctober 20         7pm
