Nature Walk on 2nd Saturdays February 9, March 8, April 12 Rios Ave. trail head, 9вЂ“11 am Learn about the reserve on a free guided walk open to the public. Environmental education (EE) is rooted in the belief that humans can live compatibly with nature and act equitably toward each other. Another fundamental belief is that people can make informed decisions that consider future generations. EE aims for a democratic society in which effective, environmentally literate citizens participate with creativity and responsibility. EE often begins close to home, encouraging learners to understand and forge connections with their immediate surroundings. The awareness, knowledge, and skills needed for this localized learning provide a basis for moving out into larger systems, broader issues, and a more sophisticated comprehension of causes, connections, and consequences. EE is good education. It is learner-centered and provides students with opportunities to construct their own understanding through hands-on, minds-on investigations. Engaged in direct experiences, learners are challenged to use higher order thinking skills. EE provides real-world contexts and issues from which concepts and skills can be learned. Quality EE programs are multidisciplinary and facilitate teaching of science, civics, social studies, mathematics, geography, english language arts, economics, the arts, and history.

By Barry Lindgren Hydrology is the study of the movement, distribution, and quality of water throughout the Earth. A practitioner of hydrology is called a hydrologist. San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy manages a network of hydrologic monitoring stations on five creeks in the Carlsbad Hydrologic Unit (CHU) to provide automated stream flow and precipitation information for its major watersheds. These sensors are part of the San Diego County ALERT (Automated Local Evaluation in Real Time) flood warning network, with transmitted data being shared continuously with other ALERT subscribers throughout the region. Flood Hydrograph at Escondido CreekвЂ”Camino Del Norte (showing stream level in feet) Beyond the obvious benefits for flood warning and forecasting, stream flow and rainfall information can provide: вЂў The total amount of water available during a given season, and the total volume of water that reaches a receiving water, such as San Elijo Lagoon or the Pacific Ocean вЂў The frequency of its deficiencies and excesses вЂў The volume of storage in the watershed required for specific flow conditions, such as a storm вЂў The changes in storm flows and urban runoff due to changes in land use upstream Flood Hydrograph at East Basin of San Elijo Lagoon (showing stream level in feet) Note the very rapid rise in the channel upstream of the lagoonвЂ” this is due to confining channels upstream and impermeable surfaces such as sidewalks and driveways. It is this rapid rise in a hydrograph that often means damaging flooding. Downstream, in San Elijo Lagoon, one can see the lag time in Simply measuring the concentration of flood waters reaching the lagoon and the muted rise time due to the ability of water spread out over the East Basin, as a river contaminants, without knowing the volume of would use a natural flood plain. water carrying those contaminants, does not provide enough information for a regulator or resource manager to make informed decisions about the effects of upstream sources on downstream environments. These benefits are particularly important in a region like southern California, where the variability of runoff tends to be much greater with more arid conditions. In this setting, the rapid pace of development and urbanization makes it far more difficult to predict the effects of development on the watershed without the validation provided by actual measurements. Welcome Debby Strauss SELCвЂ™s new Program Assistant Debby was hired as a part-time employee in October to support the program managers with day-to-day operations in the areas of development, education, outreach and general administration. Her primary duties are related to stewardship and acknowledging member contributions. Debby first came to SELC as a temporary employee last summer working on the Birds of a Feather Gala. Prior to joining SELC, Debby had a successful career in human resources/employee relations working for various corporations and as an independent consultant. For many years, she has volunteered for numerous North County non-profit organizations, including the San Dieguito River Park for the past four years. Debby has lived in Encinitas for the past 23 years with her husband and two sons. Board Transitions By Andy Mauro In our twenty-year history, the Conservancy has grown from a small grassroots bunch of activists to a well-respected, highly effective nonprofit conservation organization. As we have grown over the years, our mission has remained constant, and the composition of our governing board notably consistent. For 2008, however, we will be experiencing a change in our ranks. We are very pleased to welcome four new board members, but sorry to report that two of our long-standing board members will be stepping down. Cardiff resident, Carl Biel, was a founding member of the Conservancy back in 1987, and served as our first president. Several years later, after the organization was up and running, Carl took a leave of absence from the board. Of course, passion for the environment is a powerful force, and Carl was easily convinced to rejoin the board about six years ago. During his second stint on the board Carl served several terms as treasurer. You may have met Carl and his wife, Janice, at the Encinitas Street Fair or the Solana Beach Fiesta del SolвЂ”for the last six years they have been fixtures at just about every booth the Conservancy has hosted. Thank you, Carl, for your long-standing support of the Conservancy. lives in Solana Beach, just a stoneвЂ™s throw from the Rios Avenue trailhead. About seven years ago she became one of our docents, and then came to the boardвЂ™s attention by quickly moving up to the job of docent coordinator. It wasnвЂ™t long before she was asked to join the board. With her experience in media relations and career as a freelance writer for a number of publications, Lynne helped guide the organization in developing new outreach materials and media releases. She obtained a substantial grant for the Conservancy which resulted in the design, production, and publication of our acclaimed booklet вЂњBirds DonвЂ™t Use I-5вЂќ. Lynne has served as committee chair for a number of community events held by the Conservancy over the years, and most recently was an invaluable asset in helping organize and conduct the 2007 вЂњBirds of a FeatherвЂќ gala. We will miss her friendly spirit and creative ideas at our board meetings, but look forward to still seeing her out on the trail, helping others in the community discover the beauty of nature at San Elijo. Lynne Friedman I am very excited with our new additions to the board Sally Foster, Peter Johnson, and Celesd F. Willoughby. Our fourth new member, John Seiber, is the newly-elected chairman of the ConservancyвЂ™s PresidentвЂ™s Council. As a founding member of the PresidentвЂ™s Council in 2000, John has helped oversee significant growth in the size of the ConservancyвЂ™s operating endowment. We will profile John and the PresidentвЂ™s Council in our next newsletter. Sally Foster is the current Provost of the San Elijo campus of MiraCosta College, a site which borders the reserve. Previously she was a full-time faculty member at MiraCosta College teaching Psychology classes at both the Oceanside and San Elijo campuses. A native of Michigan, Provost Foster moved to the San Diego area in 1974. She attended graduate school at Chico State and was hired as a counselor at Butte Community College and a lecturer at CSU, Chico. She joined the faculty of MiraCosta College as an Associate faculty member in 1982 and became a full-time faculty member in 1987. Sally lives in Encinitas and has two sons who are away at school. Several favorite pastimes are reading, listening to music, ballroom dancing and bird watching. Working with the members of the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy and faculty at MiraCosta, Sally helped sponsor the first Lagoon Lecture Series in 2007. Sally is passionate about environmental issues and hopes that the current generation of involved and caring citizens will exert political pressure on policy makers to halt global warming and will volunteer their own time and effort so that we leave the earth a better place to live for generations to come. Peter Johnson has been changing the world one taco at a time at Las Olas Mexican Restaurant in Cardiff with co-owner Dave Murphey since1981 (and Carlsbad since 2004). He sponsored and installed the educational panel вЂњDining at the LagoonвЂќ with a view of the west basin. Check it out next time youвЂ™re at Las Olas in Cardiff. ItвЂ™s his commitment to quality, value and close proximity to the lagoon that make him a valuable addition to the board. Peter moved to the San Diego area in 1970 and has been an active participant in community organizations ever since. He has served on the board of directors of the YMCA; was president of the Cardiff Chamber of Commerce; served on the subcommittee for the City of Encinitas Sand Replenishment Project; and currently sits on the board for TERI, Training Education & Research Institute, an Oceanside-based nonprofit offering educational programs for children and adults with developmental disabilities. The father of two young children, Peter is a physically active participant in life, surfing, bicycling, golfing and bird watching to name a few of his outdoor sports.. Celesd began her association with the conservancy by first becoming enchanted with the lagoon and its inhabitants. What started out as her being dragged along on birding and photography trips by business partner, Heather Kinch, soon turned into a love of the beauty and serenity of this вЂњnatural treasureвЂќ and a desire to get involved. Membership led to art donations, marketing consulting and finally the duo being asked to co-chair the publicity committee for SELCвЂ™s 20th Anniversary вЂњBirds of a FeatherвЂќ event. Celesd currently serves as Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing of a national financial services company and comes to SELC with over 25 years of sales, marketing and entrepreneurial experience. She is also co-owner of Heather KiNCH Studio, Winged Light Gallery and Red Raven Publishing. In keeping with their sense of respect and responsibility for the environment and their commitment to making a difference, Heather & Celesd donate a portion of all sales of their enterprises to support the conservancyвЂ™s efforts. Celesd lives in Encinitas with her extended human and animal family. 3 | Lagoon Tidings SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR 2007 DONORS By Elaine Dodge, Development Director 2007 was a milestone year for San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy in each of our program areas. We treated over 90 acres of invasive plant species covering 130 separate properties. We substantially expanded our water quality monitoring program both in the lagoon and in North County. We celebrated 20 years of preserving, protecting and enhancing the ecological reserve at our Birds of a Feather Gala. We developed education curriculum for 3rd and 5th grade students based upon CaliforniaвЂ™s State Standards. All of these successes would not have been possible without the support of members like you. GUARDIANS OF THE LAGOON Great Horned Owl - $10,000+ Agri Chemical & Supply, Inc.
