PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

The Land Trust Celebrates 25 Years!By Jennifer Thomas

It is hard to believe that this is our 25th anniversary year! All of our members should be very proud of our accomplishments. The Bolsa Chica Land Trust has been successful beyond expectations. None of this could have been done without your tireless efforts to help save open space in and around Bolsa Chica. Every sponsor, volunteer, docent, donor, staffer and Board Member are impor-tant. The fight is not over. We are still in need of funds for the Ridge/Goodell Property that we are purchasing from the landowners. Let’s all band together today to save more land at the Bolsa Chica.

Our educational programs teach thousands of children from 12 neighboring cities each year. The Stewards restoration project continues to heal and enhance habitat for our wildlife, with the help of thousands of community volunteers. Bolsa Chica is visited by an estimated 80,000 people each year and tens of thousands of migratory birds.

I hope to personally thank you at the 25th Anniversary Event on September 17th at the Hunting-ton Harbor Yacht Club, where we will celebrate our wonderful past, look forward to a future filled with opportunity and vision, and raise a glass to Bolsa Chica.

BCLT: The Next 25By Kim Kolpin, Executive Director

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT

The Bolsa Chica Land Trust has an amazing history, and quite a promising future. We have accomplished what others thought impossible. Bolsa Chica still needs our care, and that will continue into the future. Each one of us is a steward of this beautiful ecosystem. It needs us to protect it, and to keep it thriving.

Moving forward, our number one priority is the full acquisition of the Ridge and Goodell properties. BCLT is also collaborating with the state on significant issues that impact Bolsa Chica’s precious wetland habitats. We are working hard to bring more state funding to the Reserve and more support to protecting our fragile coastal environment with efforts to ensure that the tidal inlet remains

open and flowing. Next on the to-do list is to take a big step forward with our successful habitat restoration project and get our Growing Space in full native plant production.

We are collaborating to bring new educa-tional signage to the Reserve as we enlighten the public

to the wonders of nature and his-torical significance of Bolsa Chica. Our Miracles team is focused on educating the next generation to help ensure that our wild and open spaces are loved well into the future.

All of our accomplishments are the result of a tremendous amount of hard work and dedication by our Board of Directors, our docents, core team Stewards, our Jr. Stewards, our wonderful volunteers, and our staff. The Land Trust has been supported by thousands of people, each one contributing to making the Bolsa Chica Land Trust successful. Our members, foundations and corporate partners have funded our projects and programs, which have made a big difference on

the Reserve and have touched the lives and spirit of this community.

We would like to thank the wonderful people at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and California State Lands Commission who work every day to protect and enhance the habitat and visitor experience at Bolsa Chica: Ed Pert, Terri Stewart (Retired), Tim Dillingham, Rich Burg, Kelly O’Reilly, Peter Knapp, Gary Keller, Wendy Hall and Lucinda Calvo. A big thank you goes to Paolo Perrone with Trust for Public Land for his amazing commitment and perseverance, to Michelle Black and Doug Carstens for their outstanding professionalism and guidance and to Tasha Newman and all at Conservation Strategies Group for making our voice heard in Sacramento. Our deepest gratitude goes out to Terry Watt who forged the agreement for Ridge and Goodell with extraordinary skill and patience.

To all our members, supporters and friends, on behalf of the Board of Directors I thank each and every one of you. The past 25 years have been amazing roller coaster ride. But we’re not done yet. Hang on, we’re leaving the gate for the next 25!

FOUNDER’S LETTER

Bolsa Chica is Full of Wonder, Power and Natural Beauty

Dear Friends,

Twenty-five years ago I was running on the beach path and looked over to the vast openness of the mesa. I decide to run over there. All I knew at the time was that the Bolsa Chica mesa and wetlands were slated to become a massive housing development with more than 4,000 houses.

As I ran along the mesa path I approached the eucalyptus grove and stopped dead in my tracks. There was a bird symphony in the grove, and I said to myself there already is a housing development here – a bird housing develop-

ment. There cannot be another housing development on the mesa. When I returned home I started to make calls and learned that the same thought about the proposed development had occurred to a number of my friends. We formed the Bolsa Chica Land Trust and the rest is history.

The dedication and selflessness of hundreds of committed people saved the vast majority of the Bolsa Chica. In turn, a free Bolsa Chica has proven a wonderful and sustaining gift to our community. We worked long and hard and have saved it. Or, it has saved us. Happy 25th Birthday Bolsa Chica Land Trust. Onward!

BOLSA CHICA STEWARDS

Happy Anniversary!By Erin Chin

Last year was the Bolsa Chica Land Trust Stewards’ 20th anniversary, and this year we get to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Land Trust itself!

Over those years, the Land Trust, through the Stewards program, has planted more than 40,000 native plants, built trails and fencing, removed tons of non-native invasive plants and garbage, and restored about 10 acres to native habitats on the Lower Mesa. As we look ahead to the next 25 years, I am excited at the prospect of all that we can accomplish together.

The Growing Space, our newest Stewards project, is the next step in the CPR program to restore the entire 118 acres of the Lower Mesa. At the Growing Space we will conduct research and develop a robust knowledge base of which species are best suited to create a sustainable native habitat here. We have already started to put into place elements of the Growing Space on site. If you want to help, you will be able to join the Stewards on this project soon.

Meanwhile, our Adopt-A-Plot program got off to a slow start this year because of the cancelled workdays (rain is both a good and bad thing), but we hope to make up for lost time in the remainder of 2017 and to grow this program in the coming years. We want to thank all the groups that have participated this year (La Quinta High School KIWIN’S and Rancho Alamitos High School Ecology Club) and those who have come back (Fountain Valley High School Sealeaf Club and Cub Scouts Pack 541) to continue to care for their plots!

The Stewards still meet on the first Saturday and third Sunday of every month to restore the rest of the Mesa Trail and battle the ever-changing dominant invasive species. We look forward to discovering the secrets of grassland restoration on such a unique piece of land, and to continue to offer hands-on community-based restoration and education for another 25 years!

MIRACLES ON THE MARSH

Planted 15 Years Ago, Miracle “Seeds” are Still Flourishing Today

By Laurel Telfer

Imagine for a minute that it’s 1992. In your mind’s eye, observe with amazement as the inspira-tional message of a small group of community activists – preserv-ing all of Bolsa Chica – begins to take hold. Flash forward to 1999. The California Court of Appeals, in a landmark ruling, upholds most of a lower court decision and protects the lower wetlands, Warner Pond and the eucalyptus grove from relocation, thereby gutting the developer’s plan for 5,000 homes at Bolsa Chica.* Now witness in your mind’s eye members of the Bolsa Chica Land Trust pushing to identify next steps, including spreading the word about the significance of this jewel on the coast. Notice

how little seeds of ideas keep shooting up. Then pay attention to the year 2002, when Land Trust members decide to find a way to tell the Bolsa Chica story to students.

Watch as this seed turns into a healthy sprout, then quickly grows into a robust plant of its own called the “Miracles of the Marsh” Educational Program.

Today, after the successful comple-tion of its 15th year, “Miracles” continues to engage third graders from local schools. The program’s long-range goal is to educate stu-dents, teachers and parents about the natural wonders and cultural significance of Bolsa Chica, and to build understanding of the value

that preserving open space has on wildlife, the environment, and the community itself.

The program’s components in-clude a comprehensive student activity booklet and an in-class presentation, followed by a do-cent-led field trip to Bolsa Chica. The Bolsa Chica Reserve is an ide-al “classroom” setting for 8-year-old third graders. Its beauty and habitat diversity give students the chance to observe and apply what they’ve learned from their work-books and in-class presentation. Perhaps most important, students become aware of their own re-sponsibilities in preserving and protecting the natural world. Every year Bolsa Chica volunteer docents dedicate numerous hours to attend trainings, make class-room presentations, and lead the student tours which are scheduled from January to June. These won-derful folks are the foundation of the program and without them, Miracles would not continue to flourish.

Since that first tiny seed of an idea 15 years ago, more than 26,000 students from 54 schools have participated in 510 tours led by skilled docents who have given 8,200 volunteer hours of their own time to guide the students. A Miracle, indeed!* Bolsa Chica Land Trust v. Superior Court 71

JR. STEWARDS

Brown But Not Dead: A Reflection Nine Years in the MakingBy Katrina ConeBolsa Chic Jr. Stewards Class of 2017

The BCLT Board of Directors is so very proud of Katrina and we thank her for her commitment, dedication, and friendship It has been won-derful to watch her grow into the confident and accomplished young woman she is today. We wish her all the best as she leaves Bolsa Chica this Fall to study environmental science at U.C. Berkeley.

My first summer on the mesa comes back to me in pieces – a patchwork quilt of dry, fragrant, sagebrush and chalky dust on my small work boots.

I remember drawing smiley faces in the dirt trail on my first work-day with a small Griffyn Kolpin, who I now know as the youngest

brother of one of my best, lifelong friends, as well as the son of one of my life’s most important men-tors. I remember having worm races with the Land Trust’s famous Bloom sisters, as well as my own sister, and how meticulously we patted the dusty sediment at the bottom of a small pit we had dug to ensure that our slimy competi-tors couldn’t simply tunnel their way out of the “arena” we had built. I remember learning invaluable lessons about some of our native plants –

This one, with the seed pods and the harlequin beetles on its leaves is called bladderpod. Run your hands through these leaves. Don’t your fingers smell nice? That’s called sage. Just because a plant looks brown doesn’t mean it’s dead. It’s just dormant – there’s still life in there.

I remember stumbling through the dry, shrubby landscape, tottering with the weight of a water bucket in one hand, and spilling it all over my jeans before I could even reach the first plant I needed to water, turning the dust that settled on my pants into a damp, heavy mud stain.

As it turns out, I haven’t gotten

any better at avoiding mud since I was eight years old. Just ask my mom when she has to run the laundry after each Bolsa Chica workday.

Eight more summers have passed since that first in 2008, not to mention this summer, which only has one workday left for me before I have to move away for college. I have ventured on Junior Stewards field trips to Catalina Island and into the mountains. I have been given charge of small work groups. I have led clubs from my high school on work-days and taught my friends how to plant (which is surprisingly less common knowledge than you might expect). All of these lessons in leadership have culminated into my final great task with the Land Trust – leading an entire workday.

I sat alone in front of the trailer at eight o’clock sharp on the morning of July 15th. When Erin arrived, I followed her nervously, inquiring about everything I could think of while simultaneously worrying that I wasn’t asking the right questions to get the job done effectively. An hour later, I had a microphone in my shaky hand and began addressing the mass of people who seemed to

accumulate in the parking lot in just mere minutes. After that, it was nonstop action. What’s the status on water at station two? We need more volunteers at the point. Someone, please send an empty wagon to the caboose. What? The caboose doesn’t need a wagon anymore. Hey! Where’s the water truck going?!

It didn’t take me long to develop an intimate friendship with my walkie talkie.

By eleven o’clock, I was flustered, floundering, and feeling over-whelmed by the “controlled chaos” (quote: Kim Kolpin) that I found out is a defining characteristic of a Bolsa Chica workday from the perspective of the people involved in orchestrating it. However, a close support group of volunteers, friends, and family made the constant running back and forth between stations and split-second decision-making not only memo-rable but also enjoyable. At the end of the day, the older volun-teers and Land Trust members teased me about the responsibil-ity and joked (I hope?) that I had just barely managed to scrape by with a C- in Bolsa Chica workday management.

A little later, when we all sat around a couple of pushed-togeth-er tables at Super Mex for lunch, I took a look at the people around me: my teachers and mentors, my family and closest friends – and I thought about the incredible impact each person there had made on me. People who had taught me to both liberate and conserve, how to live and how to care. Regardless of where life

takes me from here, each of these people has played a role in shap-ing me into who I am today, and has influenced me to do whatever I may accomplish in the future.

The first summer I started volun-teering at Bolsa Chica, I remem-ber the mesa looking very brown. The landscape was covered in dry European grasses, airborne clumps of stiff, stubborn Russian thistle, and, of course, the infamously cruel crystalline iceplant. While those tenacious invasive species are far from being eradicated, the number of large, native shrubs has increased to such an extent that those dusty, brown grasses no lon-ger dominate the scenery as you walk along the trail. In fact, after years of volunteering with the Bolsa Chica Land Trust, my world looks a little greener.

Graduating from the Bolsa Chica Junior Stewards has been every bit as impactful and emotional as my high school graduation. Lessons

learned and friends made over these past nine years are invalu-able, on both a practical and senti-mental level. As I prepare to take the first steps into the next phase of my life, I will always keep in mind that just because something is brown, doesn’t meant that it is dead. There is always hope for us to restore life if we can offer the right kind of attention and care. A little concern and stewarding in everyone has the potential to make all the difference in the world.

We are more than halfway towards

our goal of reaching $1

million for the acquisition and restoration of the Ridge & Goodell properties.

Our campaign to save the Ridge & Goodell properties is going strong. We are pleased to announce that we are more than halfway towards our goal of reaching $1 million for the acquisition and restoration of the property. Trust for Public Land is

hard at work securing the rest of the needed funding for the purchase.

Your strong support has given the Land Trust a great opportunity to purchase all of Ridge & Goodell. Keep in mind, as we are working on funding the acquisition, the landowner is working on getting permits to build in case we are unable to secure the purchase. The development proposal is called Windward, and the landowner has a lengthy process to go through.

We are confident that we will be successful, but we still need your help!!! Every dollar is important, as we still have about $400,000 more to raise. This campaign shows that the community wants this land to be saved and protected, and that is an important message.

The funds will help us purchase and save this last threatened piece of Bolsa Chica. The vision is to restore it as native wildlife habitat and a passive park for everyone to enjoy. We are also working with the Native American community in the design of a cultural node that is needed. This will celebrate their ancestors, their history and the strong bonds they have with the land today.

Saving Bolsa Chica has always been, and continues to be, a community effort. Thank you for your support as we finally save the last precious piece!

A Conversation with Bill and Toni Gregory

By Roberta Armstrong

Why we got involved with the Bolsa Chica Land Trust

I was born and raised in Cul-ver City, started surfing in 1959, graduated from Washington State University, traveled to Europe and the Middle East, taught elemen-tary and junior high school for a dozen years, and started a science education company called Science Adventures. Toni and I met while we were both teaching. We have traveled extensively.

We have lived in Huntington Beach since 1985. Our three daughters grew up here and went to Harbor View, Marine View, and Marina High Schools. We have always been involved with Bolsa Chica. We have enjoyed hiking the mesa and wetlands, as well as surfing Bolsa Chica. We love the incredible vistas, with the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

Twenty-five years ago, developers along with several groups pro-posed to build 4,800 houses on the mesa and wetlands (with 900 houses on the wetlands). These people argued that the only way to save and restore Bolsa Chica was to build on it and have the developer pay for it. We were at a meeting at City Hall and the proposal was presented to us. We said ”Hey, wait, why don’t we form a Land Trust to buy the land from the developer and keep it as open space!” As I remember it, Flossie

Horgan and Jan Van der Sloot passed a sign-up sheet around, we had our first meeting, and the Land Trust was born.

How we created the Bolsa Chica Land Trust

We worked with Federal, state, and local governmental agencies as well as other parties over many years to restore the wetlands and to acquire the majority of the land for BCLT and minimize the devel-opment footprint. We won signifi-cant ESHA lawsuits and engaged actively and successfully with the California Coastal Commission. In addition, the Bolsa Chica Stewards and the Miracles of the Marsh programs were developed and remain successful.

We’ve had many exciting events as well as political demonstrations and meetings. When I was Presi-dent of the local Surfrider Foun-dation chapter, we had a ‘Stand Together for Bolsa Chica” demon-stration at the intersection of War-ner and PCH. We had more than 100 surfers with their board as

well as many other BCLT support-ers standing together, lining PCH.

What we need to do NOW

The Ridge and Goodell properties are the remaining two parcels that we can acquire as open space. With this 11.1 acres, there will be an open vista from the end of Bolsa Chica Road out over the wetlands to the ocean. I’ve always believed that this vista is one reason the native people chose to have an important burial ground at this location. We need to revere this land as much as they did and continue to do.

Please join us for this important acquisition

Your support is, as always, wel-come and appreciated. It’s been a fun and exciting journey. Let’s stand together again to provide this capstone acquisition.

October 2012 Coastal Commission approves Shea Homes develop-ment, with approximately 23 acres to be restored as habitat and passive park.
