Leaving the School Do a roll call, and make sure you have everyone's permission slip before boarding the bus. Give staff a completed Student Tracking Roster. These are the students the
staff is responsible for. One staff to every group of ten kids is much safer than one staff to 20 kids. Do a roll call once everyone is on the bus at school. Make sure all your staff is on board, as well. At the Destination Give every staff a whistle. This will allow them to get the students' attention. Matching shirts are another way to keep an eye on students in your group. Bright colors make
it easier to recognize a group member as you scan a crowd. Make sure all staff have a watch, and choose points where groups can periodically meet up. Heads should be counted to make sure participants haven't been lost. Leaving the Destination Set a time to meet at a location at the field trip site. Once everyone arrives, do another roll call. At this point, it is safe to line everyone up and get on the bus. Once again,
do another roll call and check to see that everyone is on board.

Bohart Museum 04
The R. M. Bohart Museum of Entomology is a world class institution,
dedicated to teaching, research and public service. The Museum contains the ninth largest insect collection in North America, and is
the third largest university collection of insects. The Museum is located in a state-of-the-art facility in the Academic Surge Building,
on the Davis campus of the University of California.
Services The Bohart Museum houses one of the largest systematic
entomology resources in the United States, providing specimens and library materials to scientists and students worldwide through loans and visits. More than 40,000 specimens are loaned out for research
per year. Highly trained staff and students provide information and identification services to the public, university associates,
governmental agencies and businesses. The museum has an informal science education program consisting of permanent and traveling exhibits, and lectures and tours about
insects for schools and other community groups.
Tours Organized groups (ages 5 and up) require advanced reservations.
(Individuals and families can just walk-in free during our regular hours for a self-guided visit, but the collections are off-limits for browsing.) The guided tours include an exploration of the collection (butterflies), the "Oh My!" collection, and our Arthropod Petting Zoo. If you need a
more tailored tour, please let us know at the time of booking. Tours cost $3.00 per person or a minimum of $30.00. (Fees do not apply for
standard UCD classes and organizations.) Tours are typically 30-60 min.
Tour Schedule
Be advised that the Bohart Museum can only accommodate a few tour groups per week, and the tour schedule fills up approximately
three months in advance of the tour dates. Because of the size of the museum, we can handle only 15-20 people
at once. Large groups will be divided into smaller groups. Group leaders may want to consider visiting other campus sites in
conjunction with a Bohart Museum visit.

How to schedule a tour
Please look through our current calendar of scheduled tours to see when we have an opening that works for you. Once you have chosen a date on
http://greenhouse.ucdavis.edu/conservatory/tour.html or call the Conservatory at 530-752-0569.
Touring the Conservatory
We're normally open from 9am-5pm weekdays and sometimes on weekends for special events and scheduled tours. Drop in visitors are welcome. Our staffing is limited so call ahead 530-752-0569 or check our Tours calendar
below to avoid those times or to schedule a tour. Guided tours are available by appointment only. Weekend tours are scheduled at the discretion of staff
availability. Details for group tours are outlined below.
How long are the tours? Tours are about an hour long. We recommend a minimum of 45 minutes.
Evening and weekend tours are possible if tour guides are available depending on staff availability. During the warm summer months, we
recommend morning tours to minimize exposure to the "tropical climate" of the greenhouse.
How much do tours cost?
As of July 1, 2011 the cost is $6 per person for non UCD affiliated groups (payment via cash or check made out to UC Regents, no credit cards) and
$4/person for UC Davis affiliated groups paying via recharge, with a minimum charge of $36/group. Parents and chaperones are currently free.
Payment may be made by cash or check payable to UC Regents or via campus recharge. We are unable to take credit card payments. Payment
should be presented before the tour unless prior arrangements are made, and a receipt will be provided.
What is included on the tour?
Content is adjusted for age, experience, and interest. We convey the amazing diversity of plant adaptations via a multisensory hands-on tour
through the 3,600 sq. ft. greenhouse. Form and function of plants from the world’s deserts, tropical forests, and carnivorous habitats are emphasized,
along with plant interactions with insects and other organisms.
How many people can you accommodate? A maximum of 40 participants divided into 2 or 3 docent-led groups can be
accommodated at one time. Smaller groups allow for more interaction. Disabled access is limited to the main aisle and entrance of the smaller
rooms.
Comfort on the tour Participants will be standing much of the time. To maximize the learning experience, we ask that visitors be well hydrated and have healthy blood-
sugar levels. The greenhouses are warm and humid, so visitors will be more comfortable by dressing lightly or in layers and leaving coats and sweaters behind. Also, some aisles are narrow, so participants should leave behind
large purses and backpacks for their own comfort as well as for the safety of the collection.

Governor’s Mansion 08
As a historic house museum, the Mansion is unusual because it is not a replica or a restoration. It stands much as it did when vacated by the Reagans in 1967. Visitors walk through the accumulated history of the
house seeing the furnishings and personal items left by each first family, including the Pardees’ 1902 Steinway Piano, the purple velvet
sofa and chairs purchased by Minnie Johnson in 1911, hand-tied Persian carpets acquired by Nina Warren, and an early 1950s console
TV added by the Knights. Today’s guests see marble fireplaces from Italy, gold framed mirrors
from France, and exquisitely handcrafted hinges and doorknobs, all of which are reminders of the Gallatins and the Victorian era. Outside
some of the Mansion’s abundant vegetation includes flowers, shrubs, and trees dating back to 1877. But when visitors look behind the
grape stake fence and see Governor Brown’s swimming pool built in 1959, they are reminded that the Governor’s Mansion State Historic
Park is really a walk through time.

Marshall Gold 11
James W. Marshall discovered gold in 1848 on the South Fork of the American River in the valley the Nisenan Indians knew as Cullumah. This event led to the greatest mass movement of people in the Western Hemisphere and was the spark that ignited the spectacular growth of the West during the ensuing decades. The gold discovery site, located in the still visible tailrace of Sutter's sawmill, in present day Coloma California, is one of the most significant historic sites in the nation.
James W. Marshall found shining flecks of gold in the tailrace of the sawmill he was building for himself and John Sutter. This discovery in 1848
changed the course of California's and the nation's history. See a replica of the original sawmill and over 20 historic buildings
including mining, house, school, and store exhibits. Visitors have the opportunity to try panning for gold in the American River
and enjoy hikes and picnics under the riparian oak woodlands. Overlooking the beautiful river canyon, where the gold discoverer rests
today, see California's first historic monument, the statue of James Marshall pointing at his gold discovery site.
Group Reservations and School Field Trips
To protect the park's resources for future generations, and to ensure a quality educational experience for all of our visitors, Marshall Gold
Discovery State Historic Park has a daily specific limited carrying capacity. Reservations are necessary to guarantee space.
Guidelines
The following guidelines are of special importance:
• In order to guarantee access to the park, groups of more than 10 people need to have a confirmed reservation. Please give your printed reservation
confirmation sheet to park staff when you arrive in Coloma. Groups without reservations may be turned away if they arrive at the park when it
is at capacity. (CCR 4326) • All students should wear a name tag identifying their school or Tour
Company’s name. • The suggested ratio of chaperones is one adult for every ten students.
• With confirmed reservations, the park waives day-use fees for public and private school groups, K – 12. (Commercial companies bringing school
groups pay a commercial park use fee.) • Arrange for your field trip well in advance. If possible, consider your trip for the fall because of heavy school use in the spring. School and general
group reservations for the following calendar year are accepted, December 1st, seven days a week from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. April
through June's availability fills soon after reservations open in the previous December. You may make reservations as late as 24 hours in advance,
when space is available. Commercial companies book a separate inventory and start on December 1st for the following year.
• For questions about your reservation, the park or our daily interpretive programs please view this Web site at www.parks.ca.gov, or call (530)
622-3069 to speak to a park staff person during museum operating hours.

Park Rules
All students should wear a name tag identifying their school or Tour Company’s name. •The Gold Discovery Museum is also visited by people not on a field trip. Please be respectful. Inside students must use quiet
voices, to hear the sounds and story of the gold rush's impact on people. Do not touch exhibits or historic artifacts, unless specifically labeled to do so.
•Do not bring food, (including chewing gum) or drinks into the park's museum or exhibit rooms. Running and horseplay are prohibited inside buildings and near historic structures and exhibits.
• Please teach students to respect our natural and cultural resources. Students and groups are not allowed on the Indian Grinding Rock without an adult leader present. We prohibit picnicking on the rock. Please no climbing or playing on our
Grinding Rock or other park exhibits, trees, monuments, wagons, or fences. • Do not pick flowers, plants or disturb any living thing or wildlife.
• On trails, everyone must stay on established pathways. Taking short cuts by cutting road or trail switchbacks is dangerous and causes severe soil erosion. Use caution, poison oak, rattlesnakes, and mountain lions exist here but are rarely encountered
when on trails. • At all times be sure students pick up all litter and put it in the provided appropriate disposal containers. Trash from the picnic areas should be placed in the dumpsters located at the roadways. Many of the parks garbage cans in the historic core are inside
wooden oak barrels. • Use crosswalks, and be cautious when crossing highway 49! Please walk in a single file line when crossing on Mt. Murphy
Road Bridge. This bridge is also a one lane road. When a car approaches please make sure to have everyone bear right to allow vehicles to pass.
You will receive a reservation confirmation as part of your reservation package. It contains important information. Please bring it with you when you visit, and present it to park staff upon arrival.

time.

Soil Born Farms 18
Our programs focus on promoting health and providing experiential learning opportunities for youth and adults, producing healthy food,
improving access to healthy food for all and modeling land and environmental stewardship. Beyond producing healthy, certified
organic produce for our 80 CSA members and local stores, restaurants, and farm stands, Soil Born Farms has also developed several
innovative education and food access programs in partnership with area schools and agencies.
The American River Ranch, a 55-acre historic ranch located within the
American River Parkway, is now the permanent home of Soil Born Farms. It provides a wonderfully diverse landscape to engage both
youth and adults in hands-on activities that educate and connect them with the natural world, healthy food, healthy eating, job and life skills, hard work, and service opportunities. The American River Ranch also provides the opportunity to expand the production of vegetables and
fruit to meet the needs of more Sacramento residents, particularly those in underserved neighborhoods with little or no access to fresh,
nutritious food.
Soil Born Farms is about so much: growing food, mentoring youth and future farmers, teaching people how to cook and garden, creating
urban farms and preserving wild spaces, developing partnerships and improving access to fresh produce throughout our community, and at
the core, it is about making a difference. It means transforming a shared vision of healthy food for all into a local reality.
