Event: Heritage Site Monitoring Volunteer Training by BLM
BLM is hosting a 2-day heritage site stewardship class in Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument on September 28th and 29th for a maximum of 25 people who are interested in becoming archaeological site monitors.
The event is hosted by the California Archaeological Site Stewardship Program (CASSP - http://www.cassp.org/) and will take place at the UC Davis McLaughlin Reserve from 9-am to 4:30-pm (26775 Morgan Valley Rd, Lower Lake).
The first day will include presentations and discussions regarding local archaeology, safety, the law and archaeology, environmental responsibility, confidentiality, discussions about encountering the public in various situations where safety, environmental ethics, and respect for private property are discussed.
The second day consists of a field trip to practice site procedures and record observations. There is a $25 fee for participation which includes a Society for California Archaeology membership (https://scahome.org/) as well as helps pay for materials. Housing is available at the McLaughlin Reserve campground for $10 night. Please contact Archaeologist Chris Lloyd at crlloyd@blm.gov to register for this class.
