Meet and park at Kohl Open School

On Saturday, March 3, Friends of the Lower Calaveras River (FLCR) will host our 26th Riverwalk, free of charge to the public!

This Saturday Dale Sanders (AKA “Dr. Dirt”) and his team of 5th and 6th grade students from Kohl School will present one of our most popular themes: “Just for the Kids: A Demonstration of the Calaveras Watershed”.

Using the Enviroscape simulation model, 5th and 6th grade students will present a local scenario of how the Calaveras watershed functions and the impacts of pollution on the river.

The demonstration will be presented at Kohl School, followed by walks to the 2 prior Kohl School study sites at the University of Pacific footbridge and the northern bank near Pershing Bridge. On our walk we will also learn about the River Partners and FLCR Native Grass Demonstration project.

Free coffee will be available, courtesy of our local Starbucks, and light snacks will be provided!

Bring your family and friends to this fun event, free of charge, and learn about the river that is the lifeblood of our community!

P.S. – Don’t forget to bring warm clothing and shoes that you can get dirty!

    Hi ~

    I’m very interested in bringing my Girl Scout troop on one of your walks. Do you have the topics for future walks scheduled? If not, will you please e-mail me once you do so I can make plans with my troop?
    Thank you ~

      Hi Brenda,

      Thanks for getting in touch!

      Our next Riverwalk would be a great event for your Girl Scout Troop to attend: on the 1st Saturday of February, we will hike the River of Skulls Nature Trail in Valley Springs. It’s a short loop, and several fishery biologists will be talking about steelhead spawning habitat, etc.

      I have added you to our contact list, so that you will reieve updates on our activities. If you’d like to get in touch, my e-mail is:

      jterhune@defenders.org

      Cheers!

    Hi Jeremy,

    I don’t see any dates for riverwalks, only this page with the event from July 10th. Is this where you’re posting the walk schedule and there was only the one (http://riverofskulls.wordpress.com/events/), or are there others posted somewhere else?

    Warm regards,
    Charlene

    1. jterhune Says:

      HI Charlene,

      Just updated the page – our next Riverwalk will be a mountain bike ride at New Hogan Lake on Saturday, August 21!

      We will have a full 12 year calender for our Riverwalks posted by late August.

      Cheers,
