DESCRIPTION:Volunteers Sought for Earth Day Weekend\n\nJoin the Big River Stewards 
 program of the Mendocino Land Trust and the Mendocino Woodland Camp 
 Association for a work weekend at Big River and the Mendocino 
 Woodlands.\n\nCome stay a night at the historic Mendocino Woodlands Camp in 
 the redwoods and help with restoration projects at Big River. Complimentary 
 lodging will be provided to volunteers in rustic private cabins at the 
 Mendocino Woodlands Camp, a National Historic Landmark built by the 
 Civilian Conservation Corps during theGreat Depression.\nCheck-in is 
 Saturday, April 21st from 9:30 am-11am at the Mendocino Woodlands Camp 
 One.\nOn the Saturday workday (11am-4pm) we’ll hike up to “Big Tree,” 
 a remnant old-growth redwood tree, and work our way down the ridge to the 
 river, restoring failed water bars and improving road drainage to reduce 
 erosion as we go.\nOver 80 miles of old logging roads remain on Big River 
 since the Mendocino Land Trust organized the acquisition of the 7,334-acre 
 former industrial logging property and turned it over to California State 
 Parks. Many roads are actively eroding and contributing sediment to Big 
 River, home to endangered Coho Salmon and threatened Steelhead Trout. Big 
 River is listed as sediment-impaired by the US Environmental Protection 
 Agency.\nOn Saturday night, a complimentary dinner will be served in the 
 historic Camp One dining hall. A presentation by renowned nature 
 photographer Taylor Lockwood entitled, "Chasing the Rain: My treasure hunt 
 for the world’s most beautiful\nmushrooms" will follow.\nOn Sunday, April 
 22nd, after a complimentary breakfast and check-out, volunteers will head 
 to Big River Beach to remove non-native and invasive plants from this 
 scenic beach located between the Big River estuary and the historic village 
 of\nMendocino.\nThis project is funded in part by a grant by the California 
 State Parks Foundation. For more information, or to RSVP, contact Big River 
 Stewards Coordinator Matt Coleman at\n707-962-0470 or e-mail 
 mcoleman@mendocinolandtrust.org. Lodging is limited to 25 participants.\n
