SUMMARY:Natural History Museum's Community Science – Get SNERCHING
DESCRIPTION:The folks at the Natural History Museum want you to join its annual community science slugfest\, SNERCH to scour and snap photos of snails and slugs from now through March 31. \nFormerly known as Snail Blitz\, SNERCH is the U.S.’s longest-running and largest community science project focused on snails and slugs. Past contributions have uncovered non-native and endangered species. SNERCH is part of the larger SLIME (Snails and Slugs Living in Metropolitan Environments) project on iNaturalist. nhm.org/snail-search for more information. \nCurrently this study – Snails and Slugs Living in Metropolitan Environments (SLIME) is taking place in the LA Area. The ask is easy – while snails and slugs are fairly easy to spot\, they’re also vulnerable to a variety of issues due to their inability to quickly escape from potential harm (who knew\, right) \nWhether they’re in your backyard\, at the local park\, or along your favorite hike\, every snail or slug photographed will help scientists. \nYou can help move this research forward. Click the link above – which takes you directly to NHM’s site. Join the SNERCH fun!

SUMMARY:Let's Take a Hike With Jorge Ochoa

He’ll be hiking/talking about the Condor Canyon Fire that destroyed a fair number of acres\, and how this area has regenerated over the course of time. \nWe know of course time heals all and this transformation proves the adage. \nNOTE: If you’ve hiked with Jorge in the past\, you know he stops along the route to discuss various plants\, and the occasional birds and animals\, so kids are encouraged to join… \nFolks are encouraged to ask questions and look deep into the landscape and appreciate the beauty of Griffith Park with fellow nature-lovers. \nAnd of course\, we limit the number so get your rsvp in early. WHILE WE ENCOURAGE ONE OR TWO RSVPS per person\, PLEASE REMEMBER THERE ARE OTHERS WHO WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ATTEND SO LIMIT YOUR RSVPS. IF THERE IS ANY DOUBT WHETHER YOU CAN ATTEND\, DON’T RSVP. \nWe’ll send meet up info on Friday\, April 24\, so if you’ve NOT received the place\, reach out!

SUMMARY:Once Again\, Back to Fern Canyon
DESCRIPTION:FoGP is heading back to Fern Canyon to continue our work in this lovely\, semi-shady Griffith Park spot. \nOver the years we’ve conducted multiple volunteer events in this location\, beginning in 2014 when Marshall High students placed natives in the area that had been devastated by the 2007 fire. \nAnd our challenge – help natives proliferate as they continue to make inroads\, and help maintain the area for the multiple hikers that use these trails. \nAs usual\, we’re meeting at the Merry-go-round Parking Lot entrance (LOOK FOR OUR SIGNAGE). We’ll be hiking up to the catch basins at the bottom of Fern Canyon and remove invasive plants that tend to overwhelm disturbed areas. We’ll also go further up the trail cleaning the area as we go. We strongly recommend wearing closed-toe shoes or hiking boots\, long pants\, sunscreen\, and please don’t forget the hat. We supply the hand tools\, plastic bags\, work gloves\, and water\, but if you have your own pair of gloves\, we encourage you to bring them. Same with water containers – bring if you have them.\n\nIf you have not completed one of our Volunteer Agreement forms\, you will need to complete one before you volunteer in the Park. Complete the form\, scan it\, and email back to rossarnold1213@gmail.com. If you’ve already completed / submitted a form in the past\, just sign-in when you arrive at the meeting spot.\n\nAnd\, if you’re interested in organizing a project in the Park for your organization\, club\, company\, or group\, please reach out at Volunteer page on our website – someone will contact you. If you’re available during the week and would like to pitch in\, we have a small group going out on Wednesdays to remove invasive plants in the Park. This group works from 8:00 to 10:00 AM.\n\nWe look forward to seeing you on Saturday\, May 9th
