Congratulations and Fond Farewell toRich Lawton
Im sure all will agree that Rich Lawton will be
missed as our beloved Supervising Ranger on
Sonoma Coast State Beach. It has been a pleasure
to work with someone with such integrity and
passion for his work. Rich never missed a moment
to tell volunteers how much they meant to him.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS MESSAGEMichele Luna, Executive Director
As the brown redwood needles drop to the ground, and the national news is filled withsadness and devastation from Hurricane Katrina, I find myself filled with many thoughtsabout what is really important in this lifetime. What comes to mind is family, friends, and taking
time to enjoy the natural world around us, which is where I can come to grips with my deeply felt emotions.
I know many of you, like myself, are giving monetary support to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. You will be
receiving two more solicitation mailings from Stewards before years end, one is for our annual raffle, and the
other is our end of the year thank you and appeal. I want you to know that whatever support you can share
with Stewards will especially be appreciated this year, when there are so many other needy causes in our
nation.
We are winding down our fund-raising time of year after sponsoring and participating in a number of
successful special events. I want to thank our dedicated Board of Directors whose extra effort coordinating
our special events this year really paid off. Also, my sincere thanks to all the volunteers who showed up to
staff the events. We couldnt have done it without you.
Stewards has had a busy summer sponsoring many educational and recreational activities within our parks, aswell as evaluating our programs in preparation for enhancements in 2006. As we begin to make plans for next
year, we are encouraged at the prospect of having the funding we need to accomplish our goals and provide
greater support for new and continuing park programs. The Stewards Board of Directors has allocated funding
to support Breck Parkmans archeology work on Sonoma Coast and have also dedicated $10,000 from the
Armstrong Habitat Restoration Fund to begin the process of developing a Natural Resource Management Plan
for Armstrong Redwoods and Austin Creek. We are excited about both of these new projects.
We have also received preliminary approval for funding from the California Coastal Conservancy in the amount
of $60,000. Funds will be allocated over the next four years to support docent programs on our newest State
Park acquisition in Willow Creek. We are very grateful to the Coastal Conservancy, and in particular to
Richard Retecki, for their continued support and partnership.
I also want to thank board member Rob Dickerson who works for Trout Unlimited for securing funding in the
amount of $50,000 towards the 2nd bridge project in Willow Creek. This is also wonderful news.
Have a healthy and happy fall season, and I will look forward to seeing many of you at our two upcoming
social events, our Annual Membership Meeting and Picnic and our Annual Volunteer Celebration.

Summer has brought forth many new achievements for the Russian River Sector. A new supervising ranger for theSonoma Coast has been selected. Ranger Jeremy Stinson has taken the position. Jeremy has been working on theSonoma Coast as a ranger for about five years and is well versed in the nuances of the coast. He comes with a
diverse and extensive background of park operations. His office will be at Salmon Creek.
The Willow Creek acquisition has become final. Many different organizations are coordinating efforts to providesuitable operation of the new unit. Public tours are scheduled regularly. We are in the process of defining roles,
needs, and future plans, which will entail major resource projects, public access, interpretation and education. Many
volunteers will be needed to satisfy the numerous facets of developing and protecting this area. If you are interested
please contact the Stewards office to find out how you can be of assistance.
New weekly interpretive walks at Armstrong Redwoods have been successful. Group sizes are ranging from several
individuals to about fifteen visitors. The walks seem to be well received by the public and are especially useful to
give an overview of the park and redwoods for out of town visitors. If you would like to volunteer for these walks
contact Diane at Stewards.
Several major marijuana patches were found and pulled within Austin Creek. Two of these patches were located as
close as one half mile away from the Bullfrog Pond Campground. The patches were in relatively inaccessible areasof the park not normally traveled by hikers. There were about 45,000 plants making this one of the largest of its
kind in Sonoma County. Personnel from several different agencies were on hand to pull the plants. Due to the
remoteness, and lack of trails, staff had to be airlifted in using a CAMP helicopter. Increased monitoring of the area
will occur in the future.
Breck Parkman, our Senior State Archeologist, has been active with interesting projects along the Sonoma Coast.
There are several locations on Bodega Head with fossil tree specimens including a pine cone dating back 50,000
years. This information will be helpful for a paleoenvironmental reconstruction project. Breck is hoping to germinate
one of the seeds. An excavation is continuing near Carlevero Way to investigate a rubbing rock boulder likely used
by mammoths and bison and later quarried for stone tools by early Native Americans. The outcome of these
projects should be very interesting.
Heres hoping everyone has a spectacular fall season. Dont forget to come out to your favorite park and go for a
hike.

WHALE WATCHBea Brunn, Whale Mother
This is a quiet time of year for our Whale Watch program with hopefullymost of our gray whales in Alaska feeding and growing stronger for theirlong southern migration.
Our friend Harry reports having seen a couple of grays outside Bodega Head and
we also have reports of a couple of grays out by the Farallon Islands.
Our boat trip on Sunday, August 21st was another success although we had fog and high overcast all day
and a somewhat bouncy ocean. Our boat this year, the Whackey Jackie is definitely a wet boat, so
everybody got sprayed with ocean water.
We were almost out to the islands when we got word from the Salty Lady that they were observing
humpbacks further north, so we took off and were entertained with a wonderful show of humpbacks
feeding. We even had one whale come up with his whale mouth open out of the water, then backs and
flukes all around. The sea lions were also thankful, as the whales chased the fish to the surface.
Our trip took us back to the islands for a much calmer ocean and then on our way back we again
encountered many humpbacks in a feeding mood a great day.
Our whale watch orientation will be Saturday, November 5th see you all there.
HES BAAACK!Norma Jellison, Docent
One day the mouth of the Russian River was its usual tranquil estuary, where theriver meets the sea and the harbor seals haul out. By late summer, the colony iscomposed of adults, yearlings and newly weaned pups, with a wide variation in fur
color solid grey, black, grey or white spotted, brown. Suddenly, one day - July 17 this
year according to the Seal Watch Beach Log, hes baaack! He being R-1, the sub adult male NorthernElephant Seal.
R-1 brings a different flavor to Seal Watch interpreting. People see a large brown lump or see him rouse from his
slumber, raising his head, waving a flipper or shifting his massive body. They exclaim what is that?
The Elephant seal gives us the opportunity to compare and contrast Harbor seals (H seals) and Elephant seals (E
seals). Both are phocids, but there are many differences, besides the obvious one of size. Of course, size is a
major difference, something R-1 seems oblivious to as he throws his weight around with unfortunate results for
some of our H seals.
Adult male E seals (bulls) can be 13-18 and weigh 3,000-5,000 lbs; E seal cows are much smaller at 8-10 and
800-1200 lbs. Harbor seals are 4-6 and weigh 200-300 lbs and there isnt the extreme difference in sizebetween males and females. R-1 is 6 years old, still not a full bull, but large.
The next question is usually what is he doing here or why is there only one like him here? The answer to the first
question is the easier one. R-1 is clearly molting. His coat is two toned and molting accounts for his long
periods of lethargy.
E seals spend almost 90% of their life migrating and feeding in the open ocean. They haul out on land in
December to mate and give birth, head out to sea in early spring, come back on land in summer to molt, and
then return to sea. Records kept by Elinor Twohy show that R-1 remains on the beach 40-44 days during molt.
He returns in December - like clockwork right around Christmas, and stays until the third week in March.

HES BAAACK!Continued from Page 4.
Another difference between these seals
is that while E seals are on land mating
or molting, they do not leave the beach;
living off of their blubber stores. H
seals spend their days hauled out, yearround. Resting and re-oxygenating their
blood by day, they forage for food in the
ocean each night.
There is an H seal presence at Goat
Rock beach most of the year, although
the numbers fluctuate. At the peak of
the season, there are upwards of 300 H
seals on the beach. In the 90s, records
show 500-600 H seals (Twohy).
Between July 31 and August 14, the
number of H seals more than halved,
reaching a low of 63. While their numbers reduce each fall, the timing this year seems related to the number of
attacks on the H seals by R-1.
Another contrast is in the interactions between mothers and pups. H seals teach their pups to swim almost
immediately after birth. During pupping season, one often sees mothers and pups in the river, rubbing faces and
rolling around. Mothers teach the pups to fish. H seal pups have been observed in SF Bay being carried on their
mothers back between foraging dives. While the mother H seal moves on with her life after the pup is weaned, it
is likely mothers and offspring remain on the same beach over time.
The mother E seal does not teach her pup to swim or fish. Having lost 40% of her body weight while nursing,
once the pup is weaned, the mother swims off to feed. The E seal weaner must figure out how to swim and feeditself, before heading off for its first time at sea. While E seals are solitary when at sea, they are colonial on land
and exhibit a certain amount of fidelity to their birth beach. H seal pups weigh about 10-20 lbs at birth; E seal
pups 70 lbs. A weaned E seal pup weighs about 300 lbs., roughly the same as a large adult H seal.
H seals are cumbersome on land. Being unable to defend themselves from the dangers posed by humans and
dogs, their only recourse is to flush into the water. This expends a lot of energy, better used in their nocturnal
swimming and diving in search of food. Female E seals similarly may flush into the water to avoid danger. In both
cases, pups are vulnerable to being crushed.
Male E seals are a different story. When threatened, they are likely to bite or give chase. Anyone who has seen
an Elephant seal attack, marvels at the speed and ease with which they move for such a large animal. And yes,
they can and do chase people. This is another good reason to observe the signs to keep back at least 50 yards.Being chased by 3,000+ pounds of angry Elephant seal is no fun.
So, why is R-1 the lone E seal on the beach? He seems to prefer this beach, rather than remain at Chimney Rock
and other Pt Reyes National Seashore E seal colonies. He may be scouting the beach to begin a new colony here.
In early August, a second young male E seal arrived. It is much smaller, in fact, similar enough in size to an adult
H seal, to make it hard to distinguish. Soon, both E seals will head out to sea. Then, well all be waiting to see if
more E seals will join the Goat Rock Beach Harbor seal colony next season.

The 5th annual Stewards of the Coast and Redwoods golf tournament was held at the Northwood Golf Course on
the 3rd of June. Check-in started at 11:30 followed by lunch provided by the Northwood Restaurant. After lunch
a raffle was held and many prizes of wine, golf outings, San Francisco Giants tickets, trips, and other great items
were awarded. Supervising Ranger Dave Horvitz gave a nice talk about Stewards and our programs.
At 1 pm, 43 golfers teed off and enjoyed a great afternoon of golf. The weather cooperated and it was a very
pleasant day. After golf, many joined for after
golf libations and a sharing of stories.
Five years ago at our first tournament we had
17 golfers and this year 43 participated, and it
continues to grow. This year the tournament
netted over $5,500 for Stewards programs.
Many thanks to all who helped, in particular
Annie Cresswell, Jim Bray, and all of the office
staff. Also thanks to Barbara at the Restaurant
and Gaylord and Vern at the golf course.
Next years tournament is scheduled for the 2nd
of June. Make plans to join in the fun.
