On Thursday, Oct. 15, starting at 7 p.m. the society will be holding its monthly program meeting at Kelseyville High School Auditorium, 5480 Main St., Kelseyville. The public is invited.
Guest speaker and topic will be Julie Serences who will discuss “Inviting Birds and Wildlife To Your Yard.” Julie Serences is from the Sacramento Audubon chapter and teaches workshops showing people how to become land stewards of their own piece of land by creating habitat for birds and wildlife.
Over the past eight years, Serences worked on a backyard restoration of her own property using California Native Plants.
Through her research and experience, she developed practical knowledge that she now shares with others interested in making their yards and gardens welcoming with food, shelter, and water that birds and animals need.
“With our three-year drought and growing evidence of global warming impacts, more people are seeking to learn about how to make positive changes in their landscaping,” noted Redbud Audubon President Marilyn Waits.
Tina Wasson, Redbud’s vice-president/treasurer, has gathered a valuable selection of Audubon and other free educational materials that will be available at the October meeting.
“Please join us for this important topic,” president Waits urged.
The Redbud Audubon Society is the oldest conservation organization in Lake County. It promotes environmental awareness through monthly educational programs, field trips, and special presentations. The society, along with the Clear Lake State Park Interpretive Assoc. presents the annual Heron Days Wildlife Festival and Wildflower Brunch in April, and is actively involved in many conservation issues facing Lake County and Clear Lake.

The event is being conducted under a special use permit issued by the Forest Service to the Oakland Motorcycle Club.
There are additional enduro events planned for the Fouts Springs area on the Grindstone Ranger District. These events are scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 15, by the Valley Climbers and Sunday, Nov. 22, by the Richmond Ramblers. All events are being conducted through special use permits.
These events are being held on designated roads and off-highway vehicle (OHV) trails. The courses are not closed, meaning the roads will remain open for public use. However, Forest visitors are encouraged to be aware if they are recreating in the Fouts Springs area:
Watch for signs indicating the event area.
Pay close attention to signs indicating the route and the direction of travel - the event consists of one-way loops. If you are using part of the enduro route, you are encouraged to travel in the same direction, going with the flow.
Listen for traffic and, if driving, open the driver side window enough to be able to hear engine noise that may be approaching.
If you are driving, avoid cutting corners and stay to the right on the roads. For other recreational uses, avoid lingering on roads and watch for traffic.
"The Mendocino National Forest, like other public lands, is managed for multiple uses," said Grindstone Ranger District Implementation Officer Paul Montgomery. "We want the public to have a safe and enjoyable recreation experience on the Forest. Visitors should be aware of these events and be able to plan their weekend activities accordingly."
These events typically draw hundreds of motorcycle riders and spectators to the area. Campgrounds near the event location are likely to fill up quickly.
The water for the Fouts Springs Recreation Area is currently shut-off until further notice. As a result, the dump station at the site is also closed until further notice. Forest visitors in this area will need to bring water with them for both potable use, including drinking, as well as for any other needs.
For more information, please contact the Forest at 530-934-3316 or visit www.fs.fed.us/r5/mendocino .

CLEAR LAKE STATE PARK – Through the magic of film, visit Glacier and Grand Teton National Parks on Saturday, Oct. 10, at 1:30 p.m. as the Interpretation Association continues a five-Saturday series featuring eight of our glorious western national parks.
All ages will thrill to these awe-inspiring vistas that are set aside as our American heritage. If you have visited these parks, the series will help you relive your great experiences. If you have never visited these parks, it will be a great first experience for you.
In 1910, when Glacier became a National Park, the only way to explore this Montana gem, which straddles the Continental Divide, was by horseback.
In 1920, at a cost of $3 million dollars, the 52 mile Going-To-The-Sun-Road was opened to automobiles. Thrill to Logan Pass at an elevation of 6,646 feet. Today, there is easy access for their 2 million visitors each year.
Lake County began as scraped off ocean sediment and Glacier National Park began as sediment deposited in an ancient sea. As you view this film, compare the areas as you enjoy high mountain adventure, alpine lakes and wildlife.
Next, we will visit Grand Teton National Park, which encompasses approximately 310,000 acres in northwestern Wyoming.
We often hear of “Jackson Hole.” What is referred to by “hole” is a high altitude plateau, 8 to 15 miles wide and 40 miles long, ringed by majestic mountains. As a reference, Clear Lake is approximately 9 miles wide at widest point and 19 miles long, but Lake County is not a high altitude plateau ringed by mountains that reach 7,000 feet above its valley. The Teton Mountain Range dominates this park’s skyline.
To give park visitors more opportunity to attend programs and view the museum, the interpretive association is opening the Visitor Center from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each Saturday through October. The museum is one of Lake County’s great treasures of natural history.
At this time, there is no entrance fee to Clear Lake State Park for participating in walks, programs or visiting the museum.
Visit www.clearlakestatepark.org for program schedule, great photos and park information.
Clear Lake State Park is located at 5300 Soda Bay Road, Kelseyville.
