SUMMARY:Studying Gray Whales with Steven Swartz
DESCRIPTION:Join Steven Swartz\, local cetacean researcher\, on Thursday August 15th at 7:00 p.m.\, as he recounts his 45 years of research on gray whale populations\, some of the most fascinating of the cetacean species: how we believe they have survived as a species over the past 140\,000 years\, their relationship with humans and whaling\, and how the impact that Global Climate Change is having on gray whales and other marine species.  \nGray whales travel thousands of miles from Arctic waters to Mexico's warm water areas around the Baja Peninsula. They are known for their friendliness to humans\, but there is concern that this interaction could be detrimental to their mating and calving activity.   \nLocation: Poolesville Presbyterian Church Sanctuary\, 17800 Elgin Rd. (109)  \nSteven Swartz is a 1986 graduate of the University of California at Santa Cruz where he was awarded his Ph.D. Steven has researched and published widely on gray whales and their breeding lagoons in Baja California. From 1977 to 1982 Steven and Mary Lou Jones conducted the first systematic research of gray whales in Laguna San Ignacio in Baja California Sur\, Mexico. \nIn 2006\, along with Jorge Urban R.\, they founded the Laguna San Ignacio Ecosystem Science Program (LSIESP) to support and encourage science-based research and monitoring of gray whales and their breeding/aggregation lagoon areas in Baja California Sur\, Mexico. Steven served as a consultant to the Mexican government's Ministry for the Environment (SEMARNAP)\, and worked for the Ocean Conservancy\, the U.S. Marine Mammal Commission\, NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service\, and the International Whaling Commission. Steven retired from federal service in 2011 and now works as a consultant and senior scientist for non-profit environmental and marine conservation organizations. In his spare time\, he enjoys flyfishing\, backpacking\, and playing Bluegrass and popular music with his friends. \nStudying Gray Whales with Steven Swartz

SUMMARY:Trail Hike: Little Bennett Park at Wilson Mill Trailhead
DESCRIPTION:Join Gwen Haney and Karen Dansby on Thursday August 15th at 9:00 a.m. for a trail hike in Little Bennett Regional Park.  This is a nice shady hike in the woods for a warm August day.  It is an area of Little Bennett that we have not yet explored\, a 5 mile heavily shaded path with about 550 feet of elevation gain. Climbing is mostly gradual with some steeper but short hills.  The trail is mostly packed-dirt with some rocks and roots.    \n  \nWe will do a loop from the Stoneybrook Trail (passing by Little Bennett campsites) to the Whitetail\, Bennett Ridge and Beaver Valley Trails. We should complete this hike in under 2.5 hours.  \n  \nWe will meet at the Wilson Mill trailhead on Clarksburg Road to begin at 9:00 a.m..  The trailhead is the second pull off on the left after entering Little Bennett Park and before reaching the Kingsley trailhead.  Little-Bennett-RP-2023-update-0502-letter.pdf (montgomeryparks.org)  Rain date is August 22.  \n  \nKaren Dansby was born and raised in Arlington\, VA. She spent 20+ years in eastern Kentucky\, then retired to Sedona\, AZ. Karen participated in trail maintenance in Sedona\, hiked and participated in Preventive Search and Rescue for almost 10 years at the South and North Rim of the Grand Canyon.  She moved back to Poolesville to be close to family.   \nGwen Haney grew up in rural PA but did most of her hiking while living in Arizona\, in the mountains and canyons of the southwest. She moved to Maryland 17 years ago to be near family and continues to enjoy being outdoors and on trails.   \nWatch for other hikes in and around Montgomery County for Poolesville Seniors.  Once a month Gwen Haney and Karen Dansby will lead/tailgate a hike for Poolesville Seniors.  The hikes will be 4-6 miles and last approximately 2-3 hours.  A description will be given of the monthly hike with hiking recommendations. Trail Hike:  Trail Hike: Hike Little Bennett Park at Wilson Mill Trailhead \n
