Ever wonder what organisms live in Castle Lake and what that strange platform in the middle of the lake is used for?
Erinn Suenaga, from the University of Nevada, Reno, will present research on the impacts of fires and climate change on the ecology of Castle Lake.
She will share what this might mean for the future of Castle Lake.
The data collected at Castle Lake is being used to better understand the impacts of climate change on this special place.
Your $5 donation for this event is greatly appreciated.
How do storms and storm-water affect our water?
Buildings and paving prevent storm-water from soaking into the ground, resulting in higher peak flows during storms.
Urban runoff often carries high concentrations of various pollutants, including tire and brake wear products, oil, trash, and waste from dogs and other animals.
Tom Hesseldenz will help us understand this important topic. Solutions will be discussed.
A field trip in town will occur the following day, Saturday, July 15.

Charnna Gilmore from the Scott River Watershed Council will lead a tour of Beaver Dam Analog projects in the Scott Valley.
She will share her story of how she became involved in beaver restoration and provide some history of beavers.
Charrna is working to bring beavers back to Scott Valley and will explain why that is so important. Limited to 20 people.
In this watercolor painting class you will learn to paint landscapes carved by water with Chris Messer, well-known artist and teacher.
This one-day class will be held outside (plein-air). In coordination with the museum’s current exhibit on “Water is Life”, artists may reflect on how water has shaped this area.
After registering, you will receive a supply list.
As a supporter of the community, Chris has happily donated paintings to many fundraising events, and is also always willing to talk art and offer advice to budding artists.
Registration: $30 per person
Join us on Thursday, June 15th at 7PM for a fascinating presentation and discussion with Bill Hirt.
Mount Shasta dominates the hydrology of the region.
Much of the water that falls onto the mountain percolates downwards emerging from springs near its base, months to decades later. These springs, as well as modest surface runoff, feed the flows of the Shasta, Sacramento, and McCloud Rivers.
In addition to surface streams, water from Mount Shasta also recharges local aquifers and soil moisture. To ensure that local groundwater is not over-drafted, which would adversely affect both spring flows and well levels, hydrologists monitor the inputs to and outputs from the Mount Shasta hydrologic system.
This data is now being used to calibrate a regional groundwater model that will enable us to predict how the system will respond to annual variations in temperature and precipitation as well as the long-term effects of climate change.
Bill is an emeritus geology instructor at the College of the Siskiyous.
