Kathi,

Thanks for your comment. Butte County is part of the Mount Lassen CNPS Chapter. I noticed that when I went to the chapter site the conservation chair was WOODY ELLIOTT conservationchair@mountlassen.cnps.org
He might be a good starting point to share this with.

Sandy

Hi Sandy,
I’ve been following your blog for a year or so. You do a great job! It’s an excellent resource, and I’ve used it several times in planning wild-flowering trips.
Below is an email response from DFG regarding a proposed trail at North Table Mountain, in Oroville. Not living in Butte Co., I had no idea this was under consideration. I’m hoping to increase the public’s scrutiny of this project by getting the word out to the CA Native Plant Society, and to you, if you chose to post it. Thanks!

“The pink markings/tufts are for establishing an approximate zone for a prospective all person’s, road tread trail. This zone allows researchers to do appropriate surveys, as required under CA Envir. Quality Act to assess whether the plan is viable as is, needs revision, or cannot advance.
CEQA work is starting this week. We held public scoping meetings in Butte Co. in November and received good support to advance this next phase. We are not using general state funds (tax dollars) for this.
We are proposing a trail to reduce ecological damage and safety issues on south side of Phantom Falls, redirecting visitors to a better and safer view of the same views.
We also are leading public tours via online reservations Saturdays March 3 through April 28.

Thanks for your interest and info on newts. We’ve included the newt and many other wildlife and plant species on new panels that we’ll showcase on weekends at entrance. We hope to put them in ground when and if a trail is finally approved and construction funds are secured.
I’m at 916 358 2353 if you’d like to discuss next week or later.
Bruce Forman ”

Hi folks,
On a visit to NTM last week, we noticed a line of pink paint splotches and pink plastic “tufts” along the rise above the east-west creek drainage, and at the extreme edge of the vernal pool area, on the north side. Is this a proposed fenceline? Hiking trail?? To keep cows or people in or out of some area???

The newt population in the streams was excellent. They seem to like the lower water flow this winter, compared to the last two. Perhaps the water is a bit warmer, or perhaps the fact that it is less turbulent is better, as far as they are concerned.

Thanks,
K. Dowdakin

Thanks for posting this link. I’ve spent the evening and morning planning my 20 May trip to shoot the eclipse — currently thinking about joining that with a wildflower excursion in Butterfly Valley of Plumas National Forest.

Comment on Big Oak Flat Road Highway 120 in Yosemite To Close For Six Weeks by John W.

John W. — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 16:03:10 +0000

Funny that they don’t explicitly mention you can still get to Tioga Pass via 120 during the work. You just can’t get from Crane Flat to Yosemite Valley.
