SUMMARY:Arborglyphs & Aspen Natural History (FULL)
DESCRIPTION:A century of sheep grazing brought Basque sheepherders into the Mono Basin’s aspen-bordered meadows\, and they left numerous carvings—arborglyphs—on the aspens. Join the instructors for an enchanting journey into the aspen groves to explore this historical art form and to learn about the wildlife\, insects\, and birds that are drawn to the groves. Richard Potashin has been discovering and documenting aspen carvings for many years. Nancy Hadlock is a retired naturalist\, interpreter\, and educator for the National Park Service and US Forest Service with more than 30 years of experience.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nview itinerary\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWAITLIST\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails\n\n\n\nDate: October 8–9\, 2022 \n\n\n\nInstructors: Richard Potashin & Nancy Hadlock \n\n\n\nPrice: $180 for members / $195 for the public  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration: Begins February 17\, 2022 at 9:00am PST for Mono Lake Committee members. \n\n\n\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Rare Birding in Mono County (FULL)
DESCRIPTION:This birding seminar will scour the county looking for rare birds that show up during the fall migration. We will seek out rare birds that have been reported and we will bird several hotspots where rarities tend to show up looking for more! This seminar requires patience and enthusiasm for long days. There are no guarantees of seeing the rare birds\, but we will do our best to find them as well as to enjoy what we see\, regardless of rarity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nview itinerary\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nwaitlist\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails\n\n\n\nDate: September 24–25\, 2022 \n\n\n\nInstructor: Nora Livingston \n\n\n\nPrice: $180 for members / $195 for the public  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration: Begins February 17\, 2022 at 9:00am PST for Mono Lake Committee members. \n\n\n\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Los Angeles Aqueduct Tour (FULL)
DESCRIPTION:The Mono Basin extension of the Los Angeles Aqueduct began exporting water 350 miles south to the City of LA in 1941. Today\, the aqueduct must balance competing needs instead of exclusively serving one. Join Mono Lake Committee Education Director Rose Nelson for a focused\, field-based investigation of the north end of the aqueduct. This field seminar will provide a great overview of the Mono Basin system\, the Los Angeles Aqueduct\, and a few of the historical\, engineering\, and ecological anecdotes that make up this fascinating water infrastructure. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nview itinerary\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWAITLIST\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails\n\n\n\nDate: September 10\, 2022 \n\n\n\nInstructor: Rose Nelson \n\n\n\nPrice: $130 for members / $145 for the public  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration: Begins February 17\, 2022 at 9:00am PST for Mono Lake Committee members. \n\n\n\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Mono Basin Tree Identification
DESCRIPTION:From cottonwoods and willows along creeks to gnarled windswept pines high in the mountains\, the Mono Basin and adjacent mountains provide a wonderful gradient to look at trees and tree-like shrubs in their respective plant communities. While the diversity may not be as impressive as the East Coast\, there are plenty of trees to learn about and celebrate here in the Eastern Sierra. This one-day seminar will delve into the diversity of trees in the Mono Basin and their identifying traits. We will examine\, observe\, and even smell the trees to help ingrain the knowledge into our senses. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nview itinerary\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails\n\n\n\nDate: September 3\, 2022 \n\n\n\nInstructor: Nora Livingston \n\n\n\nPrice: $130 for members / $145 for the public  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration: Begins February 17\, 2022 at 9:00am PST for Mono Lake Committee members. \n\n\n\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Late Summer Birding
DESCRIPTION:As birds fly south for winter\, people often wonder: “Where exactly are they going? Where are they coming from? How long does it take them to get there? How do they know where to go?” This seminar strives to answer those questions during a fun time in the field observing these lightweight travelers as they fuel up along the way. We will focus on shorebirds\, but there will be plenty of songbird migrants to see as well.

SUMMARY:Natural History at the Edge of the Sierra (FULL)
DESCRIPTION:The Natural History Institute defines natural history as the “…practice of intentional\, focused attentiveness and receptivity to the more-than-human world\, guided by honesty and accuracy.” Rather than focusing on one specific aspect of a singular creature of interest\, natural history pays attention to all the goings-on in front of the observer. On this day trip\, we will make our way up the east slope\, stopping at several locations to connect with all that we may find. Throughout the day\, we will have moments of quiet reflection to allow ourselves to ponder the grandeur and the minutia that envelops us in this amazing place: the edge of the Sierra. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nview itinerary\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWAITLIST\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails\n\n\n\nDate: August 6\, 2022 \n\n\n\nInstructor: Nora Livingston \n\n\n\nPrice: $130 for members / $145 for the public  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration: Begins February 17\, 2022 at 9:00am PST for Mono Lake Committee members. \n\n\n\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Field Seminar: Falling for the Migration (FULL)
DESCRIPTION:The east slope of the Sierra Nevada is a major migration route for birds traveling from northern nesting areas to warm southern habitats. As a result\, August is the time of year to see late summer migrants and early arriving wintering birds in the Mono Basin\, Bridgeport Valley\, and Long Valley. Dave Shuford is an expert birder and retired professional ornithologist. His bird research in the region includes a long-term study on the ecology of Mono Lake’s California Gull colony\, an atlas of breeding birds in the Glass Mountain area\, and surveys of Snowy Plovers at Mono and Owens lakes. Photo by Sandra Noll. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nview itinerary\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWAITLIST\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFalling for the Migration is full.
