Do you love the seashore?
Volunteer naturalists share the wonders of Fitzgerald Maine Reserve with school groups and the general public. As a volunteer you will be helping to protect our rich, unique intertidal environment and inspiring our visitors’ imaginations and understanding. Being a volunteer naturalist is an exciting and rewarding experience.
Friends of Fitzgerald Marine Reserve will be offering volunteer naturalist training classes in January 2008. Please visit http://www.fitzgeraldreserve.org or call 650 728-5917 to register or for more information. We can arrange a tour of the reserve and demonstrate what it is like to be a docent. Volunteer opportunities are available on weekdays or weekends. Weekday volunteers lead tours for school groups. Weekend volunteers can also lead tours or interact with visitors by identifying creatures and sharing the wonders of the tidepools.
Training consists of seven Saturdays plus six additional hours spent at the reserve with a mentor. Instruction covers marine biology , ecology and interpretive strategies. Classes start January 5, 2008. Each class will be 9:00am to 2:00 pm. Volunteers must be physically capable to navigate the rocks and reef, and be over 17 years old. Please register by Dec. 1, 2007
EDITOR’S NOTE: this is a very cool opportunity. Fitzgerald is my favorite place on the Coastside.

Hi! My name is Katharina. I’ve been living in HMB for about six weeks. My intention is to stay here until August 2010. Although I intend to explore the Bay Area and the South of California, I’d like to spend the next few weeks here in San Mateo County.
Therefore, I’m looking for someone (or a family) who can offer me a room to overnight for some time. It doesn’t have to be a big room; all I need is some space for me and my baggage.
My travel budget isn’t unlimited, but I’m sure that we could
