Description/excerpt (included in message):

My colleague, Sandra Lewis, and I met the organizers of ``A Sense of Place`` in the summer of 2002 at an Earth Literacy meeting. We knew immediately that we wanted to do a similar program in our part of the San Francisco Bay Area. ``Close to Home: Exploring Nature’s Treasures in the East Bay,`` launches on April 7, 2003. For the next twelve months, we’ll explore local geology, native plants and wildlife, watershed dynamics, creeks, hiking trails and the history and culture of early native peoples. Our first Saturday outing is to Mount Diablo to see a zzdesc11 huge profusion of wildflowers and to learn how to identify birds by their songs. The mountain has been recognized as ``the birthplace of the world`` by local native peoples for centuries.
