Living with Wildlife Festival
Saturday Sept 27th
Mammoth Creek Park, 9am Join us for our 2nd Annual Living with Wildlife
Festival! Wildlife agencies and organizations from across the region will
gather in Mammoth Creek Park to teach you and your family about the wildlife
living in your community. This is a great opportunity to learn some measures
that you can take to protect vital habitat around your home and prevent bothersome
or dangerous interactions. There will be hands-on displays, interactive
games, and informative presentations-something for everyone! Head to Mammoth
Creek Park on Saturday, September 27th, from 9 am to Noon.
Directions:
Take HWY 395 N from Bishop to HWY 203/Main Street. Turn Left on Old Mammoth
Road. Mammoth Creek Park is on the right just beyond the Stove Restaurant,
approximately 0.8 miles from Main Street.
Stargazing Night
Wednesday Oct. 1st 7:30pm
By preserving lands and
working with landowners to minimize bright lights on our conservation
easements, ESLT protects the region's dark skies that allow for the
Eastern Sierra's spectacular view of the cosmos. Join us
for an evening in early September as we explore the starry scenery that
darkness brings to the Ingram Conservation Easement. This
is an opportunity for folks of all ages and backgrounds to learn more
about and share what they already know of the constellations in the
late summer sky. We'll meet at the firehouse on Willow Road in Swall Meadows. From
the firehouse we'll take a short walk to a viewpoint in our Ingram Easement.
Bring layers, a folding chair/blanket, and binoculars or a telescope (if
you have them). We'll meet at dusk at 7:30 pm on Wednesday, October 1st. Directions:
Take HWY 395 N from Bishop to Gorge Rd. Turn left onto Gorge Rd. and make
a quick right onto Lower Rock Creek Rd. Follow for 6.6 miles to Swall Meadows
Road. Turn left onto Swall Meadows Rd. Follow Swall Meadows Rd. and turn
left onto Willow Rd. The firehouse is at 129 Willow Rd. Be careful not
to block the garage entrance in case of an emergency!
Fall Highway Cleanup
Tuesday, October 28th
w Help beautify the scenery around our Adopt-A-Highway section of Highway 395 halfway up the Sherwin Grade from Bishop. With such a large and motivated group of volunteers this past spring, we thoroughly cleaned up our section of highway in only two hours! We're looking forward to getting another fun group out for our cleanup this fall. Bring water and sunscreen. We'll provide the bags, vests, gloves, and "trash-picker-uppers." Tuesday, October 28th at 9am. Directions: Meet on the northbound side of the highway at the pull off just before our sign (about 15 miles north of Bishop on the Inyo-Mono County Line).
