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.

Under normal circumstances if I commit an infraction and get pulled over I fully understand why I would have to show my papers to an officer in the course of being ticketed. Tonight I was asked to show my papers just because I was on the road. It irked me. I wanted to know if this was legal and

In the past month my housecat has been severely sliced up twice. I wondered if a bobcat and he now had overlapping territories. Then yesterday afternoon I found this hybrid cat, (I believe it is a Savannah cat which is a hybrid between a Serval and a housecat) just outside my front door.
The cat has a blue collar with a bell attached. No normal cat could stand a chance against him. Triple check your chicken enclosures and do not leave windows open. I read in Coastsider someone in
