SUMMARY:Sunrise Yoga
DESCRIPTION:Date and Time\nSaturday Sep 5\, 2026\n8:00 AM – 9:00 AM PDT \n\n\nLocation\nSouth Lawn at Outbound Mammoth\, Parking at the Bar Sierra lot. \n\n\nFees/Admission\nSuggested Donation \n\n\nWebsite\nhttps://outboundhotels.com/mammoth/experiences/#!/ \nEvery Saturday at 8 AM\, Serenity Yoga takes over Outbound Mammoth for a community class that’s equal parts movement\, breath\, and straight-up good energy. We ease in slow — gentle flows to shake off the week\, loosen up the body\, and wake up the parts of you that needed a little attention. Then we breathe. Deep\, intentional breathwork that quiets the noise\, settles the nervous system\, and drops you right into the present moment. And trust us — there’s no better place to land than right here\, Sierra Nevada at your back\, good people by your side. \nEvery Sunday at 8pm sunset class is a mellow\, all-levels flow designed to help you release tension from long days on the hill\, trail\, lake\, or wherever life takes you\, so you can step into the new week feeling steady and clear. We’ll keep movements simple and accessible\, focusing on breath\, spacious stretches\, and moments of stillness so your nervous system can finally downshift.

SUMMARY:Meet the Author of "Deep Time in the Mono Lake Basin"
DESCRIPTION:Meet the Author of Deep Time in the Mono Lake Basin\nSeptember 6 @ 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm \nBook Signing at the Mono Basin Scenic Area Visitor Center\n\nJoin us at the Mono Basin Visitor Center for a special Meet the Author and Book Signing event with historian Robert B. Marks\, author of Deep Time in the Mono Lake Basin.\n\nStop by the Visitor Center between 12:00 pm and 4:00 pm on Saturday\, September 5 to meet Dr. Marks\, learn more about the long and fascinating history of the Mono Basin\, and have your copy of the book signed. \nIn this sweeping 10\,000-year history\, Robert Marks examines the forces that have shaped its rich and complex ecosystem. The story starts with the Indigenous peoples\, followed by the mid-nineteenth-century arrival of Euro-American settlers and the dispossession of the Kootzaduka’a people of their land. Control over water was at the center of dramas that led to hydroelectric development and the sale of land and water rights to Los Angeles\, which then diverted nearly all fresh water out of the Basin\, precipitating an ecological crisis by the 1970s and spurring an ecological restoration movement. \nRobert B. Marks is Professor Emeritus of History and Environmental Studies at Whittier College\, where he taught for more than four decades. His work focuses on environmental history and the ways human societies interact with the natural world across time. \nEvent Details:📅 September 6\, 2026🕛 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm (drop in anytime)📍 Mono Basin Scenic Area Visitor Center: 1 Visitor Center Dr\, Lee Vining\, CA 93541 \nBooks will be available for purchase at the visitor center bookstore. This event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Reds Meadow Valley Restoration Project Groundbreaking
DESCRIPTION:THE JMT WILDERNESS CONSERVANCY (JMT Wild) will officially break ground this fall on a vital\, high-elevation meadow and riparian terrain restoration project in Reds Meadow Valley\, west of Mammoth Lakes. The groundbreaking this September will launch a four-year effort to restore the ecological health of two large meadows and four recreation sites located along six miles of the Middle Fork of the San Joaquin River. These ancestral lands of the North Fork Mono and Bishop Paiute Tribes are a gateway to iconic landscapes along the John Muir Trail (est. 1915) and the high Sierra Nevada. \nThe public and media are invited to attend a groundbreaking ceremony on Saturday\, September 26\, 2026 at 1:00 PM PST at Agnew Meadows Campground. Remarks will be made by leadership from JMT Wild\, Inyo National Forest\, the California Natural Resources Agency\, and project partners. Tribal Chairman Ron Goode of the North Fork Mono Tribe will offer a sage smoke blessing and ritual\, along with a traditional invocation to the Ancestors and Creator for permission to enter these lands. \nWork on the Reds Meadow Valley project has already begun with three years of extensive design and modeling of treatments\, and this summer\, with the installation of field monitoring equipment and drone flights for high-resolution imagery to document the Valley’s baseline conditions. JMT Wild is excited to celebrate the launch of this restoration effort. It will restore habitat for a wide range of biodiverse species\, re-open wet meadow terrain for wildfire mitigation\, and enhance water sustainability at the headwaters of the San Joaquin River while improving the visitor experience for generations to come. \nOver the past 200 years\, resource extraction\, road development\, livestock grazing and the near eradication of native beavers\, have resulted in degraded meadows\, altered and incised waterways\, and hard compacted soils. The forced re-location of Indigenous Peoples throughout the Sierra undermined the ancestral stewardship of these forest landscapes. In recent decades\, these impacts were compounded by increasingly intensive recreational demand. During high season\, more than 2\,000 visitors and approximately 900 vehicles enter Reds Meadow Valley on a daily basis. \nThrough extensive field surveys and satellite imaging\, most recent studies estimate over 65% of Sierra wetland meadow and riparian terrain has been lost to dense conifer growth and intense vegetation fuel loads. Reclaiming and restoring wet meadows is a fundamental part of wildfire management\, where they act as natural firebreaks and provide critical refuge for animals in fire events. \nLocated just west of the Town of Mammoth Lakes\, Reds Meadow Valley is home to some of the Sierra Nevada’s most spectacular scenery including Devils Postpile National Monument\, Minaret Falls\, Rainbow Falls\, the Minarets\, Thousand Island Lake\, the Ritter Range\, and the headwaters of the San Joaquin River\, California’s longest and most diverse in wildlife. \n“What people see as a beautiful recreational destination is also one of the Sierra Nevada’s most important ecological landscapes\,” said Marla Stark\, President of JMT Wild. “Healthy montane meadows retain and store water\, reduce erosion\, provide critical wildlife habitat\, and help the landscapes become more resilient to wildfire risks\, drought and climate change. Restoring these systems is a vital priority that benefits everyone downstream.” \nThe effort began in 2022 after the Inyo National Forest invited the JMT Wilderness Conservancy to lead the ecological restoration component of the Reds Meadow Valley riparian corridor improvements. Since then\, the Conservancy has assembled a multidisciplinary team of restoration ecologists\, hydrologists\, landscape architects\, engineers and conservation specialists to design and implement this landscape-scale project. California’s commitment to publicly fund this effort\, along with the support of private-sector environmental philanthropy\, are making the project possible. \nFor more information on the Reds Meadow Valley Restoration Project\, the September Groundbreaking Ceremony\, and the JMT Wilderness Conservancy\, visit jmtwilderness.org/RMVgroundbreaking  \nAbout JMT Wilderness Conservancy:  \nSince 2018\, JMT Wilderness Conservancy has focused on restoring Sierra Nevada meadow ecosystems and the riparian recreational corridor along the iconic John Muir Trail\, America’s oldest recreational hiking trail. The JMT’s 217 miles follows the Sierra Nevada crest and\, with its access trails\, encompasses roughly 2.8 million acres through the heart of California’s snowpack and prime alpine wilderness. JMT Wild’s mission is to recover and restore montane meadows and riparian terrain that has been damaged by 200-year historic impacts\, now compounded by intense recreational use. Our Monitoring & Stewardship Program\, powered by a dedicated team of experienced field managers and undergraduate environmental majors\, ensures precise data collection and quality control oversight to guide our restoration efforts. In 2024\, we adopted the U.S. Forest Service’s Lost Meadows Model that analyzes California’s 10\,000 hand-surveyed Sierra meadows with AI-enabled satellite imaging and LiDAR technology in order to locate and reclaim the historic scope of these meadow ecosystems. By partnering with tribal ecologists using TEK methods and employing Low-Tech Process-Based Restoration (LTPBR) techniques\, we are implementing sustainable land management practices to restore and\, where possible\, expand these critical ecosystems. No Wilderness. No Water.
