SUMMARY:Glorious Trees-Alfred Russel Wallace in California - Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Presented by author\, Sal Manna \nThis book is the until-now untold story of the 1887 visit to California of one of the most famous men of science in the world\, the man who had conceptualized around the same time as Darwin the “survival of the fittest” cornerstone of natural selection\, the lynch-pin for the theory of evolution. The book chronicles Wallace during his stay\, from his visits to the natural wonders of Yosemite and the Calaveras Big Trees to his meetings with the state’s most eminent scientists and pivotal figures such as conservationist John Muir and politician and businessman Leland Stanford. What Wallace did and said in California connected him to a bewildering and sometimes bemusing range of people and subjects\, from environmentalism to the beginnings of Stanford University; from the Calaveras Skull and one of the greatest hoaxes in natural history to Spiritualism and its colorful frauds. His American journey was the first and only speaking tour in his lifetime. \nNowhere in America did Wallace immerse himself in nature as completely and nowhere were there cathedrals of nature he wanted most to worship at than those in California. Nowhere was his personal connection stronger than in California as well and the story of his ’49er brother John is integral to understanding Alfred’s time in California (the town of Wallace in Calaveras County is named for John!). The branches of “Glorious Trees: Alfred Russel Wallace in California” extend as far and as wide as those of the Sequoias Wallace so admired.  “Glorious Trees” contributes an until-now unexamined portion of his life to the biography of one of the most fascinating men in the history of science. \n  \nSeminars are free and open to the public. There is a day-use fee to enter the Park. Pack a lunch\, bring the family and plan on spending the day among the Giant Sequoias. For more information call Calaveras Big Trees Association at (209)795-1196. \nLocation:  Ralston Classroom – Education Building near Visitor Center.

SUMMARY:Drought and Bark Beetle-Caused Tree Mortality in the Sierra- Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Christopher Fettig\, Research Entomologist and Team Leader for the Forest Service\, will speak on: Drought and Bark Beetle-caused Tree Mortality in the Sierra: Causes\, Consequences and the Future”. \nAs a result of extensive levels of tree mortality in the central and southern Sierra Nevada due to bark beetle outbreaks\, Governor Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency on 30 October 2015\, establishing a task force to help address the issue. Sixty-two million trees died in 2016\, bringing the total to at least 102 million trees in the last 10 years.  Dr. Fettig will discuss the causes and consequences of the current outbreak\, the role of drought in inciting bark beetle outbreaks\, and what might be expected in 2017 given near record precipitation this winter. \nSeminars are free and open to the public. There is a day-use fee to enter the Park. Pack a lunch\, bring the family and plan on spending the day among the Giant Sequoias.

SUMMARY:Searching for Gold Spot --The Wild After Wildfire - Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Forests that have experienced fire are vibrant\, dazzling\, and full of life. While searching for the rare Black-backed Woodpeckers\, which rely on these burned forests\, biologists encounter a plethora of other wildlife such as deer\, black bears\, bobcats\, sapsuckers\, bluebirds\, wrens\, and raptors\, including nesting Northern Goshawks and Spotted Owls and their chicks. The Black-backed Woodpeckers have recently been petitioned for special status species listing (threatened or endangered). Come enjoy this film’s short journey of wonder and discovery. \nSearching for Gold Spot – The Wild After Wildfire” is a film bringing to light the importance of fire to montane (mountain) forests and wildlife of the American West. The film chronicles the current research and conservation efforts of a team of biologists focusing on rare Black-backed Woodpeckers native to the Sierra Nevada-Cascades Region. While searching for these incredibly camouflaged cavity nesters\, the team also finds a plethora of other wildlife in a vibrant and rapidly regenerating but threatened ecosystem – the post-fire\, or “snag”\, forest.  Blending a visually exquisite celebration of wilderness with awareness of the challenges involved with saving it\, “Searching for Gold Spot” will raise important questions about conservation of the wild as we know it.  Check out the trailer at https://youtu.be/ohWIrCb2liE. 30 min \n  \n\nSeminars are free and open to the public. There is a day-use fee to enter the Park. Pack a lunch\, bring the family and plan on spending the day among the Giant Sequoias.
