DESCRIPTION:Despite a continued shortage of rain, the Redwood forest is in full bloom. 
 Come join the Sierra Club and David Casterson to learn more about Redwood 
 Community plants.\n\n6:30pm: Social time & snacks\n7pm: Event 
 begins\n\nThis event is free and open to all. Donations accepted.\n\nFormer 
 Executive Committee Chair David Casterson taught high school Biology and 
 Nature Photography for 34 years with an emphasis on the environment. After 
 retiring, he wrote "In the Company of Redwoods", a book covering the 
 natural history, botany, ecology and uses of 50 plants commonly found 
 living with Coast Redwoods Through years of leading field trips, he has 
 perfected a technique for learning about these plants based on observation 
 and hands on active participation through hand coloring photographs.\n\nHe 
 says, "As your hand adds color to the pictures and your eyes move back and 
 forth between the plants you see and the images in this fieldbook, you will 
 quickly learn the names, facts and faces of members of the Redwood forest. 
 By adding color to my black and white photographs, the beautifully detailed 
 pictures you create will be works of art! My goal is to engage you in the 
 process of learning thereby building a long lasting connection with nature. 
 Knowing and loving the life forms we share the planet with empowers us to 
 protect the Earth and all it inhabitants. In my mind there are few things 
 of greater value."\n\nDavid will bring samples of Redwood Community plants 
 from his property, photocopies of images from his book, water color pencils 
 and brushes and photocopies of images from his book to work with. 
 Participants are encouraged to bring their own colored pencils and pencil 
 sharpeners if they have them. Copies of "In the Company of Redwoods" will 
 be on sale for the special Sierra Club price of $15 each, with $5 going 
 directly to the Santa Cruz Group of the Ventana Chapter.\n\nPlease try to 
 arrive sustainably by walking, bicycling, taking the bus, or carpooling. To
