CLEAR LAKE STATE PARK – Ancient geological forces have shaped Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks into incredible landscapes. Want to see the hoodoos of Bryce, and see the beauty of Zion as scribed through the ages by the sea, broad rivers and desert winds?


Visit these incredible National Parks at 1:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17, in the Visitor Center Auditorium, as the park continues its film series on the West's national parks.


Bryce Canyon National Park consists of 37,277 acres of scenic colorful rock formations and desert wonderland.


With winter temperatures dropping to single digits, the summers warm to the high 90s and being a desert climate, precipitation averages only 18 inches.


The rock formations exposed in Bryce Canyon began in the Cretaceous Period some 144 million years ago. Bryce Canyon National Park is in a desert climatic area.


Zion National Park is 146,560 acres with elevations from 3,700 feet to 8,726 feet. There are more than 285 species of birds recorded in the area. A species in common with Lake County is the great blue heron. Some of the animal species they share with Lake County are the ringtail, gray fox, skunk and mountain lion.


Although these national parks are very different in geologic history from Lake County, we can always find some similarities.


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.


The Visitor Center staff is always interested in learning visitors’ reaction to programs and what programs they would be interested in seeing in the future.


Visit www.clearlakestatepark.org for program schedule, great photos and park information.


Clear Lake State Park is located at 5300 Soda Bay Road, Kelseyville.

KELSEYVILLE – The Redbud Audubon Society is continuing its educational and informational programs this season.


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.


For more information about Redbud Audubon Society, a non-profit organization affiliated with the National Audubon Society, go to www.redbudaudubon.org .
