SUMMARY:Nature Sunday: Native Bees in Neighborhoods and Parks of the CA Central Coast
DESCRIPTION:Native bees come in all sizes and colors. Just like us\, they are attracted to the mild climate and diverse flowers of the central California coast. Biologist Cindy Roessler will share colorful up-close photographs of our local native bees\, the flowers that attract them\, and where they nest. Then we’ll look for signs of native bees in the SLO Botanic Garden. \nNote: There are fewer native bees out in late August of a dry year\, however\, we will see many local plants in the botanic garden that attract native bees. We will not be talking about the European honey bee\, just the uniquely diverse native California bees. \nAs a professional ecologist\, Cindy has restored wildland parks to natural conditions for over 35 years and she’s recently become an amateur fanatic about native bees. She’s swung nets at the Elfin Forest\, Montańa de Oro State Park\, and Piedras Blancas Light Station for the California Bumble Bee Atlas. Since restoring her yard to native dune and coastal scrub habitats\, she now steps out her front door every day to go on native bee safaris. Her favorite native bees at the moment are the dancing leaf cutter bees and the aptly named fog belt bumble bee. \n \nPlease note: El Chorro Regional Park requires a $3 park entry fee on weekends and holidays. Having cash ready speeds up check in.

She enjoys the best of two worlds\, living part time on the Central Coast and part time at her mountain retreat in north Georgia. She is active in education programs for students of all ages and is a Morro Coast Audubon walk leader. Her special passion is teaching new birders about the tools they need to feel comfortable birding and to improve their birding skills.

SUMMARY:Dabke ~ Building Community through Dance!
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a family friendly cultural experience focused on the Dabke Dance\, a traditional Arab line dance from the Levantine region that combines rhythmic stomping and synchronized footwork. Dabke is practiced at weddings and community gatherings as a joyful expression of unity and cultural pride. The dance is deeply tied to the land and widely believed to have evolved from a mix of ancient agricultural rituals and community building practices- literally stomping mud and straw to make mud houses. Dabke dance is full of enthusiasm and energy bringing people together hand to hand and its people and land! \nInstructor Sandra Sarrouf M.A. is Faculty with Cal Poly Theatre and Dance and Director of Cultural Creations Collaborative. She advances work at the intersection of culture\, art\, and justice\, fostering learning and collaboration across differences. Passionate about cultural sustainability and informed by her lived experience as an Arab American woman\, Sandra weaves together her expertise as a DEI trainer\, facilitator and traditional artist to build community. Her radiant joy and deep cultural pride is most evident when she shares her heritage through dance\, music\, and community. \nClass will begin with a brief introduction by Rachel Alijilani\, co-architect of SLOBG’s Oak Glen Pavilion\, who will give a brief overview of the benefits of using natural building materials in architectural design. \nSLOBG Members – Enter Member5 for $5 off registration fee.

SUMMARY:Nature Sunday: Skullduggery
DESCRIPTION:A talk for those creepily curious about skulls and bones. What are they made of? What can we deduce from looking at a skull and its teeth? Do fish have skulls? Amphibians? Reptiles? Birds? Are those skulls really all that different from our own? This is a talk that will appeal to those who have ever looked at a skull\, or a collection of bones\, and thought “Hmm\, I wonder what that is?” \nMandy Ward is a microbiologist of considerable natural curiosity. Mandy trained in the biochemistry and molecular biology departments at Oxford and Berkeley\, respectively\, after getting her Ph.D. in Scotland. She worked as a member of staff at Stanford to gain experience in environmental engineering before taking a faculty position at Johns Hopkins University in the Geography and Environmental Engineering department. Retiring early after an incident with a train\, Mandy moved to the central coast where she has curated a skull and bone collection\, scoured local beaches for dead birds\, prepared skulls and other skeletal bits and pieces for exhibit\, given talks for LifeLong Learners and other groups\, and run a start-up company of no particular distinction. \n \nFree registration applies to participation with Nature Sunday topic and covers garden admission for the day. \nPlease note: El Chorro Regional Park requires a $3 park entry fee on weekends and holidays. Having cash ready speeds up check in.

SUMMARY:"Wood Wide Webs" - Invisible Forest Networks: Mushroom Discovery Friday Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden is excited to welcome Christian Schwarz back to the Garden! Christian is a well-known expert in the field and author of “Mushrooms of the Redwood Coast” and “Mushrooms of Cascadia.” \nOn Friday\, we’ll explore “Wood Wide Webs” – the invisible forest networks through which trees\, fungi and other organisms communicate and exchange resources in this two-hour lecture. This concept has been covered extensively in mainstream news and popular science outlets\, and has even made its way into movies and fiction! But where did this idea come from? What do we actually know about how it works? We’ll talk about the history of the metaphor\, take a look at the existing body of research\, examine recent challenges to the idea from modern findings\, and think about what directions future investigations might need to take. \nInstructor Christian Schwarz studied Ecology and Evolution at UC Santa Cruz\, where his interest in the world of fungi became irrevocable. Although he is passionate about ecology and biodiversity in general\, Christian is most well-known as a field mycologist. He has co-authored two field guides — Mushrooms of the Redwood Coast and the Mushrooms of Cascadia\, both with Noah Siegel. He primarily spends his time seeking\, photographing\, collecting\, teaching about\, and publishing research on North American macrofungi\, and has served on the IUCN Red List Working Group for North American Fungi. He is a research associate of the Ken Norris Center for Natural History at UC Santa Cruz\, where he teaches undergraduate courses in mycology and community science. \n6:00 Doors Open\n6:30 Lecture Begins\n8:00 Book signing \nMembers enter: Member10Off for $10 off registration.
