Okefenokee Sunset/Full Moon Paddle

We had 7 boats and 16 people, plus Chip and Iona (training staff) in 2 more boats.  This was about right - not easy to keep track after dark of any more. A BEAUTIFUL night,  no bugs, and too few alligators. I never put on bug spray, heard ONE mosquito, and that was on the way back in. Chip says that's typical, more in the scrub onshore than out on the swamp in October.  Definitely something to consider as an annual effort!

          The East Indian manatees are very docile and a personal encounter with them is a rewarding experience.

          Sunday optional activities include a visit to Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park that showcases native Florida wildlife including manatees, black bears, bobcats, white-tailed deer, American alligators, American crocodiles and river otters. Manatee educational programs are offered three times daily. At the park’s Wildlife Encounter programs, snakes and other native animals are featured.

Group discounted admission rates of $9 for adults and $6 for children are available for 10 or more people.

          Also in the area are the Crystal River Archaeological Park, Crystal River Wildlife refuge and Rainbow Springs State Park where visitors can swim, picnic, walk the trails, visit the garden and experience “The Real Florida.” The Rainbow River is popular for snorkeling, canoeing and kayaking. Tubing is launched at nearby K.P. Hole County Park.

 Earth Day Tree Planting

Sierra Club plants two American elms at court house

To celebrate Earth Day

 

 

          As an Earth Day tribute, the Nassau Sierra Club planted two Princeton American Elm trees at the  Nassau County Court House Annex in Yulee on Wednesday April 22nd with the assistance of  Judge Foster.

          Ray Roberts, who directed the elm planting project for Nassau Sierra, said the tree planting was chosen as the club’s Earth Day project “to symbolize the importance of trees in our lives and the need to protect them and increase their numbers.”

          Once the dominant feature in the eastern American landscape the American elm ruled supreme as the shade tree of choice for generations until, in the early 1930s, a fungal infection borne in beetles was introduced into the United wiped out tens of millions of American elm trees over a period of decades.

          The Princeton American elm had been selected by a wholesale tree grower in New Jersey from a single specimen around 1920 because of its strong horticultural traits and resistance to elm maladies.  Cuttings grafted from this tree onto American elm root stock have had a 95% survival rate. This tree is not a hybrid but a true American elm (Ulmus Americana)  grown from cuttings from trees descended from the original Princeton elm first selected in 1920. They are produced on their own root.

          In northeast Florida these large, graceful specimens with their upright, vase-shaped habit are predicted to grow six feet a year during its early development. Eventually, it will grow as tall as 80 to 100 feet.


 

 

                                                           _____________**_____________

Nassau County Sierra is actively soliciting members who may be interested in training to become an Outings Leader. Volunteer leaders are the backbone of this program and we would like to expand the number of outings that Nassau Sierra is able to offer to our members and our community!

Outings Philosophy

Sierra Club Outings were started in 1901 by Club Founder John Muir. He was convinced that the best way to persuade people to fight to save valuable wild areas was to take them into the wilderness and let them experience for themselves the beauty that needs defending.

The Nassau County Sierra Outings Program exists primarily to make participants aware of the natural areas and the resources that the Sierra Club works so hard to preserve.

Locally-sponsored outings could be day hikes, flora & fauna-watching trips, conservation-oriented walks, canoe or kayaking tours, over-night camping trips, or other forays into the remaining natural areas of NE Florida. The variety of outings can range as widely as the interests and creativity of Club members.

Nassau County Sierra would like to encourage our members to volunteer their time to obtain the Outings Leadership training, and then lead outings on behalf of Nassau Sierra.  The requirements are as follows:


     
  1. You must be a Club member in good standing
     
  2. You must have participated in at least one Club outing
     
  3. You must have a current First Aid and CPR certification
     
  4. You must have undergone the Florida Chapter Outings Leadership training
     
  5. You must have served as an assistant leader on a Club outing
     
  6. You must communicate and coordinate your potential outing plans with the Nassau County Sierra Executive Committee

Towards this end, some wonderful opportunities are on the horizon!!!!!!
 

Carolyn Woods, SOLO Wilderness and Emergency Medicine instructor, from FCCJ Nassau will teach a full weekend of Wilderness First Aid at Crooked River State Park in St. Mary’s, GA. The course runs from 6 pm. on Friday March 27th   to 11 am. Sunday March 29th.   The cost is $150.                                         

 We will organize an Outings Leadership Training Course to be given locally once we find out how many members are interested. (Note: Wilderness First Aid is not a pre-requisite to lead outings, but as stated above you must have a current First Aid and CPR certification and this training will offer that opportunity and more).

Sierra Club outings are a great way to find out about local conservation issues while enjoying the great outdoors! Spending time in nature helps people to more deeply appreciate why we are fighting to preserve and protect our environmentally sensitive wild open spaces. Leading outings allows you to help deepen others’ commitment and appreciation of nature. 
 

Please won’t you consider? Contact Julie Ferreira for more information: 904-583-4388.

  • 7th Annual John Muir Family Walk:  Saturday October 11, 2008   9:00am

     

Our Yulee Historic Council has annually sponsored a hike to commemorate John Muir's walk through Nassau County.  We would like to invite all current and former Sierra Club members from Nassau and Duval Counties to join us for the next commemorative walk.  Due to limits on the size of the group we can handle, attendance will be by invitation only.
 
This year the walk will be held on October 11 in Crandall Pasture.  Rayonier's Chief Forester will lead the walk and provide a narrative about the history of the area and modern timber farming practices.  The trail will take us from a large picnic site near the Bells River, through uplands to a scenic viewpoint on a high bluff and return and will be approximately 3-4 miles round trip.  We will probably offer a shorter walk for those who do not want to make the full hike.  This area is, without a doubt, the most scenic and geographically unique in Nassau County.
 
We will all meet at the John Muir Park in Yulee near the US Post Office at 9am on October 11.  There will be a short ceremony where Rayonier will convey ownership of several acres of land for park expansion to the Yulee Historic Council.  Then we will drive in convoy to Crandall for the hike.  Attendees should plan to bring a picnic lunch and beverage and dress for the hike. 
 
We are doing our final planning now and need your help.  Could you please provide me with either the names and mailing addresses of individual members (preferred) or a Club mailing address as soon as possible so Rayonier can mail out formal invitations with RSVP instructions?  I need to build a comprehensive attendee list ASAP.  Please call me if you have any questions.  I look forward to seeing you there, too!

  • 04 Oct 08    Outing to the Jacksonville-Baldwin Rail Trail


 

The usual suspects enjoyed perfect weather, bicycling along this delightful, wide asphalt, off- road trail. We started at a gem of a city park in downtown Baldwin off Center Street, and rode along the shady and uncrowded trail for about 7 miles, passing over Otis and Halsema Roads. A bit beyond Halsema, we found Camp Milton, a preserved Civil War campground complete with an old homestead (being renovated). A circle of trees growing from seeds of trees in famous southern locations, for example a honey locust tree from the site of Lincoln's Gettysburg address and oaks and magnolias from various battle sites, is completed by a water fountain (including a bowl for dogs!) and benches. A nature/history trail includes a cool, shaded boardwalk with historical markers. We found one battle Sierrans could easily endorse - a nighttime battle with pine cones between Georgia regiments. From the marker: “The skirmish lines became engaged, the lines of battle then moved forward and such fireworks I have never witnessed...” We bicycled back, had a pleasant picnic lunch at a pavilion at our trailhead, and made it back home in time to enjoy an afternoon at the Amelia Island Book Festival. In particular, Maria Struss and I enjoyed attending a travel writer's seminar with Lucy Beebe Tobias, a former Nassau Sierran who used to work for our News Leader (excellent presentation, of course). Naturally, I shared the bike trail experience with her!

Please join us for this year’s walk that will take us to the John Muir Ecological Park in Yulee, FL and to some very lovely woods in Nassau County for a light walk and picnic.   We are most grateful to Pat Edwards and Stan Longenecker for allowing us to visit their woods.

We will meet in Yulee for a brief visit to Nassau County’s newest park, the John Muir Ecological Park, on the 140th anniversary of naturalist John Muir’s famous visit to this site. We will then drive in our cars ten minutes to the Edwards/Longenecker woods, a private hunting preserve that will be ours for the day.  We will have an easy two-mile walk through a lovely forest and then return to the John Muir Ecological Park for our picnic lunch. Families, children, and dogs are welcome.

This is a joint event of the Yulee Historic Council (that helped develop the Park) and Sierra Club of Northeast Florida.  Leaders are Todd Sack, Brian Paradise, Lawrence Piper and Mike Pikula.

Where:  Meet at 10:00am in Yulee, FL at the John Muir Ecological Park, located on the north side of Highway AIA, 2.4 miles east of Interstate 95 (Exit 373, “Fernandina Beach, Callahan”), approximately 45 minutes from downtown Jacksonville.

What to bring:  wear long pants, walking shoes, hat, bug repellant, camera, picnic lunch, and plenty of water.

Reservations:  For safety, we need to know who is coming along.  Please call Brian Paradise (904-710-0479), Todd Sack (904-403-6446 or 904-733-6500), or Mike Pikula (491-8673).  If lost or questions on Oct 13, call Todd Sack.  No fee.

  • 06 Oct 07  Celebrate National Public Lands Day!

Join Nassau County Sierra Club for a working outing this Saturday, October 6, at Egan’s Creek Greenway, 9 am at the Atlantic Recreation Center entrance to the park. Wear long pants, bring gloves, sunscreen and bug spray, and a hat if it’s hot.  We’ll help remove invasive plants, then move to Jasmine Street entrance, where we’ll take salinity readings and monitor the tree die-off.

Call Winifred, 277-4187, if you have any questions.

 

Here are pics from this morning's (very wet) Public Lands Celebration.  Actually, 4 groups were using the Greenway this morning, we have pics from our local birding group (with some brave souls from Duval Audubon), our Sierra Club celebration, the Our Greenway cleanup, and representative City, County and State employees!  A soggy but good time was had by all, until it really poured and began to lightning and thunder.  We postponed the salinity study (a superabundance of fresh water, though), pulled up invasive morning glories, and spotted anghina, a peregrine falcon, house finches, and a great number of wading birds! Not to mention 3 alligators.  Bright spot: the rain kept all mosquitoes away! We had a pretty good turnout for the weather, and  considering several faithful members are taking a course to be Master Naturalists, and Teen and Jeff Peterson's daughter is getting married today! Congratulations to the young couple!! I did suggest they relocate the wedding on the greenway, but considering the weather, perhaps it is just as well.
