Heads up, Humboldt:
While the county's masking mandate has been lifted, Public Health is still strongly recommending masking indoors in public, social distancing and "avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces."
COVID-19 is still with us, so be sure to check the protocols at event venues.
Enjoy long walks on the beach and talking to people about beach ecology? Become a Share the Beach Volunteer Docent! Docents are needed to help inform beach goers about the Western Snowy Plover, a threatened shorebird that nests on local beaches from March to September. A full training will take place on Saturday May 30 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the BLM Arcata Field Office, 1695 Heindon Road in Arcata. Please bring a lunch and dress for a field trip to Clam Beach County Park. For more information or to R.S.V.P., contact suzie@friendsofthedunes.org or call (707) 444-1397.
