The 30th Annual Field Tour will be the traditional Anniversary visit to the birthplace of CFSC. It is the tradition every 10th year to revisit some of the sites that were part of the original 1981 meeting, and to see new sites where pertinent soil and forest management research has been completed. A brief itinerary is provided below. Check back in the following months for more details.
The tour will include a Wednesday (July 27th) pre-event dinner with speakers describing the history of the area (geological, cultural, etc.) and a synopsis of what we’ll see in the field; a Thursday eve (July 28, 2011) 30th Anniversary Celebratory banquet highlighting history of CFSC. There will be two full days in the field and one-half day at the end for those interested in a longer journey to some landmark sites we saw 30 years ago.
Pre-event Dinner – Wednesday, July 27th, 2011., Mt. Shasta City. Piemont Restaurant.
Day 1 – Thursday July 28, 2011
Full day beginning in Burney vicinity, commencing with a revisit to the Fountain Fire and ending in Mt. Shasta. In the evening there will be a 30th Anniversary celebration, banquet, and presentations at Siskiyou Lake.
Day 2 – Friday July 29, 2011
Full day beginning in Mt. Shasta-McCloud vicinity, returning to Mt. Shasta.
Day 3 – Saturday July 30, 2011
A half day to historic topsoil removal plantations on Fruit Growers Supply lands west of Yreka. Recent findings from a US Forest Service Long Term Soil Productivity study (LTSP) could possibly cover 20 year data collection for the Challenge site as well as other 10 and 15 year data for some of the sites. There are 12 LTSP sites in California.
Continuing Education Units (CEUs)/Professional Development Credits (PDCs) are available for many disciplines: If you have colleagues or friends that work in the fields of soils, forestry, hydrology, geology, geomorphology, biology, fisheries, wetlands, planning and management, etc… please encourage them to join!
This event welcomes families, especially on field days! All ages attended last year’s event. Hope to see you in July!
