The primary subject of the meeting will be the status of managing the natural and cultural resources of the Seashore since the January 8\, 2025 announcement of the removal of six dairy and six beef operations within 15 months. \nThe revised General Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) for the Seashore provides management guidance for the preservation of natural and cultural resources and the management of infrastructure and visitor use in the planning area. It also addresses the management of native tule elk and park lands currently leased for ranching. NPS also announced a settlement agreement resolving litigation filed in 2022 that calls for operators to surrender their leases in exchange for compensation from The Nature Conservancy (TNC). To support conservation efforts\, the NPS issued a cooperative agreement and lease option to TNC enabling TNC and NPS to collaborate on natural resource restoration projects on lands where ranching will end. \nSuperintendent Anne Altman will update MCL on progress over the past 15 months in implementing both the GMPA and Settlement Agreement on the Seashore. Greg Richardson\, Project Manager for TNC\, will describe how the organization is managing its assigned responsibilities on vacated ranch lands. \n  \nAnne Altman\, Superintendent\, Point Reyes National Seashore\nAnne Altman became superintendent of Point Reyes National Seashore September 22\, 2024 after serving as deputy and acting superintendent since 2022. She has worked for the National Park Service for 24 years in a variety of roles in parks\, the Pacific West Region\, and the NPS national headquarters in Washington D.C. As superintendent\, Altman oversees more than 80 miles of undeveloped coastline\, 147 miles hiking trails\, backcountry campgrounds and beaches. She is also responsible for the 32\,730-acre Phillip Burton Wilderness and roughly 300 historic structures\, including the 150-year-old Point Reyes Lighthouse. \nAltman started her 24-year career with the NPS as a business intern at Bryce Canyon National Park\, and manager assistant at Rocky Mountain National Park. After her time in Colorado\, Altman served as the chief of commercial services for the Pacific West Region\, special assistant to the deputy director for management and administration\, and as a senior member of the Washington\, D.C.-based Business Management Group. \nOriginally from St. Louis\, Missouri\, she holds a bachelor’s degree in Earth Systems from Stanford University and a master’s degree in business administration from the University of California at Davis. Altman\, her husband Mike\, and her two teenage sons are longtime residents of Fairfax. \n  \nGreg Richardson\, Project Manager\, The Nature Conservancy\nGreg Richardson guides TNC’s work in Point Reyes National Seashore\, with a focus on supporting ecological stewardship and community engagement. He advances this important work with deep reverence for the history of this special place and its people. \nGreg’s work lies at the intersection of agricultural and conservation sciences. Prior to joining The Nature Conservancy\, Greg was the research director for a 7\,500-acre ranch where he worked closely with its livestock and vineyard teams. He has also developed technical guides for monitoring change on rangelands and croplands and led a collaborative campaign to phase out the use and sale of invasive plants for gardening and landscaping in California. Greg received an M.Sc. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in soil science and agroecology.

SUMMARY:MCL Parks and Open Space Committee Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Marin Conservation League\nParks and Open Space Committee\n2:30 – 4:30 pm\nIn-person/Zoom hybrid\nRegister: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0pcOmgrD4vG9XtnkUk-dxDuEZFSvAuGyhD \nNote changed time 2:30 – 4:30 \nCHINA CAMP STATE PARK – “A lot’s going on!”—– \n \nThat’s what Executive Director of Friends of China Camp (FOCC) Martin Lowenstein told me when I asked him to give an update to MCL’s Parks & Open Space Committee on current activities and programs on China Camp State Park – a lot going on\, but not without the daily challenges of full financial responsibility for keeping the park open 365 days of the year. \nIt will be 15 years this coming May that the park received notice it was on State Parks’ chopping block for closure in 2012\, along with 69 other parks that the state budget could no longer support.  The story of the park’s rescue by FOCC is a saga that is well known to most\, a testament to the power of grass roots volunteerism coupled with dogged persistence. \nThe persistence has never stopped\, nor the teams of volunteers who make possible the most varied and creative programs and activities of any state park in Marin. UnderMartin’s leadership\, a small staff and myriad volunteers continue to work miracles\, often against odds that would seem overwhelming. \nMartin Lowenstein brings his own distinctive qualifications to his unusual job.  Trained as civil engineer and armed with an MBA\, Martin has been able to address the practical tasks of managing and maintaining the complex infrastructure across the park\, at the same time he has built membership\, a sense of community\, and managed the multiple funding sources that are necessary to keep the park viable. \n \nJoining the discussion will be Matt Ferner\, Director of the San Francisco Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR)\, which includes China Camp State Park. Matt is an environmental scientist and educator with a background in oceanography and aquatic sensory ecology\, and has worked with the Reserve since 2008. Based at San Francisco State University’s Estuary & Ocean Science Center in Tiburon\, he will speak to the research and stewardship work underway at China Camp. \nMartin will recount the “lot that is going on” at China Camp\, with additional perspective from Matt on the science and stewardship supporting the park at the April 9 meeting.  Attend in person\, or tune in remotely at the unusual time of 2:30. We look forward to seeing you!

DESCRIPTION:Marin Conservation League\nParks and Open Space Committee\n2:30 – 4:30 pm\nIn-person/Zoom hybrid\nRegister: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0pcOmgrD4vG9XtnkUk-dxDuEZFSvAuGyhD \nNote changed time 2:30 – 4:30 \nCHINA CAMP STATE PARK – “A lot’s going on!”—– \n \nThat’s what Executive Director of Friends of China Camp (FOCC) Martin Lowenstein told me when I asked him to give an update to MCL’s Parks & Open Space Committee on current activities and programs on China Camp State Park – a lot going on\, but not without the daily challenges of full financial responsibility for keeping the park open 365 days of the year. \nIt will be 15 years this coming May that the park received notice it was on State Parks’ chopping block for closure in 2012\, along with 69 other parks that the state budget could no longer support.  The story of the park’s rescue by FOCC is a saga that is well known to most\, a testament to the power of grass roots volunteerism coupled with dogged persistence. \nThe persistence has never stopped\, nor the teams of volunteers who make possible the most varied and creative programs and activities of any state park in Marin. UnderMartin’s leadership\, a small staff and myriad volunteers continue to work miracles\, often against odds that would seem overwhelming. \nMartin Lowenstein brings his own distinctive qualifications to his unusual job.  Trained as civil engineer and armed with an MBA\, Martin has been able to address the practical tasks of managing and maintaining the complex infrastructure across the park\, at the same time he has built membership\, a sense of community\, and managed the multiple funding sources that are necessary to keep the park viable. \n \nJoining the discussion will be Matt Ferner\, Director of the San Francisco Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR)\, which includes China Camp State Park. Matt is an environmental scientist and educator with a background in oceanography and aquatic sensory ecology\, and has worked with the Reserve since 2008. Based at San Francisco State University’s Estuary & Ocean Science Center in Tiburon\, he will speak to the research and stewardship work underway at China Camp. \nMartin will recount the “lot that is going on” at China Camp\, with additional perspective from Matt on the science and stewardship supporting the park at the April 9 meeting.  Attend in person\, or tune in remotely at the unusual time of 2:30. We look forward to seeing you!

SUMMARY:MCL Parks and Open Space Committee Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Marin Conservation League\nParks and Open Space Committee\n2:30 – 4:30 pm\nIn-person/Zoom hybrid\nRegister: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0pcOmgrD4vG9XtnkUk-dxDuEZFSvAuGyhD \nNote changed time 2:30 – 4:30 \nCHINA CAMP STATE PARK – “A lot’s going on!”—– \n \nThat’s what Executive Director of Friends of China Camp (FOCC) Martin Lowenstein told me when I asked him to give an update to MCL’s Parks & Open Space Committee on current activities and programs on China Camp State Park – a lot going on\, but not without the daily challenges of full financial responsibility for keeping the park open 365 days of the year. \nIt will be 15 years this coming May that the park received notice it was on State Parks’ chopping block for closure in 2012\, along with 69 other parks that the state budget could no longer support.  The story of the park’s rescue by FOCC is a saga that is well known to most\, a testament to the power of grass roots volunteerism coupled with dogged persistence. \nThe persistence has never stopped\, nor the teams of volunteers who make possible the most varied and creative programs and activities of any state park in Marin. UnderMartin’s leadership\, a small staff and myriad volunteers continue to work miracles\, often against odds that would seem overwhelming. \nMartin Lowenstein brings his own distinctive qualifications to his unusual job.  Trained as civil engineer and armed with an MBA\, Martin has been able to address the practical tasks of managing and maintaining the complex infrastructure across the park\, at the same time he has built membership\, a sense of community\, and managed the multiple funding sources that are necessary to keep the park viable. \n \nJoining the discussion will be Matt Ferner\, Director of the San Francisco Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR)\, which includes China Camp State Park. Matt is an environmental scientist and educator with a background in oceanography and aquatic sensory ecology\, and has worked with the Reserve since 2008. Based at San Francisco State University’s Estuary & Ocean Science Center in Tiburon\, he will speak to the research and stewardship work underway at China Camp. \nMartin will recount the “lot that is going on” at China Camp\, with additional perspective from Matt on the science and stewardship supporting the park at the April 9 meeting.  Attend in person\, or tune in remotely at the unusual time of 2:30. We look forward to seeing you!
