The significance of the ACR mission came into sharp focus in October 2017 as catastrophic wildfires raged through the North Bay, consuming with it the staff homes, offices, and program hubs of the Bouverie Preserve in the Sonoma Valley, and underscoring the importance of living in balance with nature.

Within hours after the first embers flew, the ACR community stepped forward with amazing generosity—in ways we could not predict—allowing our programs and people to quickly find their footing and apply our unique scientific and educational strengths to the needs of the region.

The program vignettes on the following pages illustrate the impacts of our work during this historic year—powered by community and conducted in the spirit of collaboration to solve regional problems with global implications.

The Nuns Fire Bouverie Preserve

PORTFOLIO, OCTOBER 9 - 13, 2017

Page 4: Annual Report 2018 - Audubon Canyon...PORTFOLIO, OCTOBER 9 - 13, 2017 Page 4 | ACR | ACR’s Mountain Lion Project, based from Bouverie Preserve in Glen Ellen, was heavily impacted

ACR’s Mountain Lion Project, based from Bouverie Preserve in Glen Ellen, was heavily impacted by the Nuns Fire. The project’s offices and electronics were destroyed, along with a substantial amount of field equipment, including vehicles, cellular wildilfe cameras and five of seven high-tech cage-traps. Research came to an abrupt halt while the team rebuilt needed infrastructure, aided by generous donations received from all areas of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Happily, all collared lions being tracked at the time of the fire managed to survive.

In January, ACR relaunched the project as Living with Lions and expanded its goals to address livestock-mountain lion conflict, a problem identified by field researchers and landowners during the previous two years of research.

Partnering with landowners, local schools and regional media, Living with Lions worked to improve outcomes for wildilfe by:

• highlighting some of the causes and offering practical solutions during community presentations and site visits requested by individual landowners.

• developing “Our Wild Neighbors,” a 90-minute educational program conducted by trained volunteers in classrooms throughout Sonoma County. Focused on coexisting with wildlife, the school visits combine storytelling, science and creative expression. Students get to explore the special adaptations of local mammals and gain greater appreciation, identification skills and connection with them.

• engaging broadcast and social media channels on mountain lion mortality due to predation of unsecured livestock. Media highlights include 12 articles and an evening news profile on ABC7News.

By the end of June 2018, Living with Lions had collared four additional lions for the GPS-tracking study, intervened in 15 depredation events and expanded its range into Mendocino County under a partnership with the Brashare’s Lab of UC Berkeley.

Audubon Canyon Ranch has spent more than 50 years monitoring heron and egret nesting abundance and reproductive performance trends in the San Francisco Bay and Estuary. Now, for the first time in the Western U.S., our research team is able to follow these iconic birds beyond the nest. By attaching tiny, lightweight, solar-powered GPS tags to individual birds, we record more daily details about their movement than biologists with binoculars can possibly collect.

Our new direction in research, which includes collaborating with investigators in other parts of the U.S., is expanding ACR’s role as a regional and national leader in conservation science. The Egret Telemetry Project is generating a huge body of fresh information on the movement patterns and habitat use of these birds.

Insights include:

• a mysterious 98-mile flight by a female Great Egret we call GREG 3 suggests very intentional use of a large landscape. In the pre-moon darkness of an August evening, GREG 3 lifted off from Chileno Valley, skirted the San Pablo Bay, crossed the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and the Central Valley, before landing along Dry Creek, between the towns of Galt and Ione. This flight of roughly 98 miles took a bit over 3 ½ hours, for an average speed of around 28 miles per hour. Her direct route indicates she may have made this trip before.

• tidal cycles influence foraging preferences along Tomales Bay eelgrass beds and mud flats. During low tides, hundreds of acres of intertidal eelgrass are exposed, allowing egrets to stab at herring during spawning events or to hunt pipe fish. As the tide cycle shifts and morning tides become higher, egrets switch to inland ponds and creeks to hunt small fish or walk the surrounding pastures in groups to capture rodents.

As climate and human land use patterns shift, we are excited to share important insights for protecting herons and egrets and the lands they rely on, as well as to unlock their mysterious lives and vital role for our community at large.

In a landmark 2015 study, the National Science Foundation found that American women earn 50 percent of science and engineering degrees yet hold just 28 percent of jobs in these fields. In conservation science, women hold only 22 percent of jobs. Audubon Canyon Ranch (ACR) is proud to be bucking the national trend: Women hold eight of twelve conservation science positions at our organization. In 2016, ACR launched Conservation Science Intensive, a week-long day camp for young women, ages 14 to 17, intent on pursuing a career in the sciences.

This experiential program challenges participants physically, mentally, and emotionally as they work with and learn from highly-skilled female conservation biologists, ecologists, and educators, including ACR staff and professionals from the regional conservation community.

One of these young women, Lucia Garay, has distinguished herself in her short tenure at ACR. A 2013 graduate of our Juniper (junior naturalist) program, Lucia has also been a youth leader, peer mentor and a participant in our first Conservation Science Intensive summer program.

At age 15, Lucia became a contributing member of our stewardship team when she redesigned the traps ACR uses to capture signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus), an invasive riparian crustacean found in Bouverie Preserve’s Stuart Creek. Over several months, Lucia re-engineered more than 20 traps and then helped initiate the first field testing of the redesigned traps during our 2017 Conservation Science Intensive.

Trapping crayfish in Stuart Creek was a highlight of the 2017 Intensive, but more importantly, it provided a real-world opportunity for the young women to develop a stronger connection to themselves, each other, and the natural world.

When the Nuns Fire swept through the Bouverie Preserve, the future of CSI was in question. Not deterred, we saw this as an opportunity to scale up the program to a five-day summer residential experience based from our Martin Griffin Preserve in Stinson Beach, both deepening the experience and increasing accessibility for elegible participants who may experience transportation impediments.

ACR Education Program Summary - FY 2018

“Acts of conservation without the requisite desires and skills are futile. To create these desires and skills, and

the community motive, is the task of education.”

Aldo Leopold, “Conservation: In Whole or in Part?” (1944)
