Learn about the reserve on a free

Environmental education (EE) is rooted in the belief that humans
can live compatibly with nature and act equitably toward each
other. Another fundamental belief is that people can make
informed decisions that consider future generations. EE aims for
a democratic society in which effective, environmentally literate
citizens participate with creativity and responsibility. EE often begins
close to home, encouraging learners to understand and forge connections with their immediate
surroundings. The awareness, knowledge, and skills needed for this localized learning provide a
basis for moving out into larger systems, broader issues, and a more sophisticated comprehension
of causes, connections, and consequences. EE is good education. It is learner-centered and provides
students with opportunities to construct their own understanding through hands-on, minds-on
investigations. Engaged in direct experiences, learners are challenged to use higher order thinking
skills. EE provides real-world contexts and issues from which concepts and skills can be learned.
Quality EE programs are multidisciplinary and facilitate teaching of science, civics, social studies,
mathematics, geography, english language arts, economics, the arts, and history.

How’s the Water?
By Barry Lindgren
Hydrology is the study of the movement, distribution, and quality of water throughout the Earth.
A practitioner of hydrology is called a hydrologist.
San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy manages a
network of hydrologic monitoring stations
on five creeks in the Carlsbad Hydrologic
Unit (CHU) to provide automated stream
flow and precipitation information for its
major watersheds. These sensors are part of
the San Diego County ALERT (Automated
Local Evaluation in Real Time) flood warning
network, with transmitted data being shared
continuously with other ALERT subscribers
throughout the region.
Flood Hydrograph at Escondido Creek—Camino
Del Norte (showing stream level in feet)
Beyond the obvious benefits for flood warning
and forecasting, stream flow and rainfall
information can provide:
• The total amount of water available during a
given season, and the total volume of water
that reaches a receiving water, such as San
Elijo Lagoon or the Pacific Ocean
• The frequency of its deficiencies and excesses
• The volume of storage in the watershed required
for specific flow conditions, such as a storm
• The changes in storm flows and urban runoff
due to changes in land use upstream
Flood Hydrograph at East Basin of San Elijo
Lagoon (showing stream level in feet)
Note the very rapid rise in the channel upstream of the lagoon—
this is due to confining channels upstream and impermeable
surfaces such as sidewalks and driveways. It is this rapid rise in
a hydrograph that often means damaging flooding.
Downstream, in San Elijo Lagoon, one can see the lag time in
Simply measuring the concentration of flood waters reaching the lagoon and the muted rise time due
to the ability of water spread out over the East Basin, as a river
contaminants, without knowing the volume of would use a natural flood plain.
water carrying those contaminants, does not
provide enough information for a regulator or resource manager to make informed decisions
about the effects of upstream sources on downstream environments.
These benefits are particularly important in a region like southern California, where the variability
of runoff tends to be much greater with more arid conditions. In this setting, the rapid pace of
development and urbanization makes it far more difficult to predict the effects of development on
the watershed without the validation provided by actual measurements.
Welcome Debby Strauss
SELC’s new Program Assistant
Debby was hired as a part-time employee in October to support
the program managers with day-to-day operations in the areas of
development, education, outreach and general administration. Her
primary duties are related to stewardship and acknowledging member
contributions. Debby first came to SELC as a temporary employee last
summer working on the Birds of a Feather Gala.
Prior to joining SELC, Debby had a successful career in human resources/employee relations
working for various corporations and as an independent consultant. For many years, she has
volunteered for numerous North County non-profit organizations, including the San Dieguito
River Park for the past four years. Debby has lived in Encinitas for the past 23 years with her
husband and two sons.
Board Transitions
By Andy Mauro
In our twenty-year history, the Conservancy has grown from a small
grassroots bunch of activists to a well-respected, highly effective nonprofit conservation organization. As we have grown over the years, our
mission has remained constant, and the composition of our governing
board notably consistent. For 2008, however, we will be experiencing
a change in our ranks. We are very pleased to welcome four new
board members, but sorry to report that two of our long-standing
board members will be stepping down.
Cardiff resident, Carl Biel, was a founding member of the Conservancy
back in 1987, and served as our first president. Several years later,
after the organization was up and running, Carl took a leave of
absence from the board. Of course, passion for the environment is
a powerful force, and Carl was easily convinced to rejoin the board
about six years ago. During his second stint on the board Carl served
several terms as treasurer. You may have met Carl and his wife, Janice,
at the Encinitas Street Fair or the Solana Beach Fiesta del Sol—for
the last six years they have been fixtures at just about every booth
the Conservancy has hosted. Thank you, Carl, for your long-standing
support of the Conservancy.
lives in Solana Beach, just a stone’s throw from the
Rios Avenue trailhead. About seven years ago she became one of our
docents, and then came to the board’s attention by quickly moving up
to the job of docent coordinator. It wasn’t long before she was asked
to join the board. With her experience in media relations and career
as a freelance writer for a number of publications, Lynne helped guide
the organization in developing new outreach materials and media
releases. She obtained a substantial grant for the Conservancy which
resulted in the design, production, and publication of our acclaimed
booklet “Birds Don’t Use I-5”. Lynne has served as committee chair
for a number of community events held by the Conservancy over the
years, and most recently was an invaluable asset in helping organize
and conduct the 2007 “Birds of a Feather” gala. We will miss her
friendly spirit and creative ideas at our board meetings, but look
forward to still seeing her out on the trail, helping others in the
community discover the beauty of nature at San Elijo.
Lynne Friedman
I am very excited with our new additions to the board Sally Foster,
Peter Johnson, and Celesd F. Willoughby. Our fourth new member,
John Seiber, is the newly-elected chairman of the Conservancy’s
President’s Council. As a founding member of the President’s Council
in 2000, John has helped oversee significant growth in the size of the
Conservancy’s operating endowment. We will profile John and the
President’s Council in our next newsletter.
Sally Foster is the current Provost of the San Elijo campus
of MiraCosta College, a site which borders the reserve.
Previously she was a full-time faculty member at MiraCosta
College teaching Psychology classes at both the Oceanside
and San Elijo campuses.
A native of Michigan, Provost Foster moved to the San
Diego area in 1974. She attended graduate school at Chico
State and was hired as a counselor at Butte Community
College and a lecturer at CSU, Chico. She joined the faculty
of MiraCosta College as an Associate faculty member in
1982 and became a full-time faculty member in 1987.
Sally lives in Encinitas and has two sons who are away at school. Several favorite pastimes are
reading, listening to music, ballroom dancing and bird watching. Working with the members
of the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy and faculty at MiraCosta, Sally helped sponsor the first
Lagoon Lecture Series in 2007. Sally is passionate about environmental issues and hopes that
the current generation of involved and caring citizens will exert political pressure on policy
makers to halt global warming and will volunteer their own time and effort so that we leave
the earth a better place to live for generations to come.
Peter Johnson has been changing the world one taco at a time
at Las Olas Mexican Restaurant in Cardiff with co-owner
Dave Murphey since1981 (and Carlsbad since 2004). He
sponsored and installed the educational panel “Dining at
the Lagoon” with a view of the west basin. Check it out next
time you’re at Las Olas in Cardiff. It’s his commitment to
quality, value and close proximity to the lagoon that make
him a valuable addition to the board.
Peter moved to the San Diego area in 1970 and has been an
active participant in community organizations ever since.
He has served on the board of directors of the YMCA; was
president of the Cardiff Chamber of Commerce; served on the subcommittee for the City of
Encinitas Sand Replenishment Project; and currently sits on the board for TERI, Training
Education & Research Institute, an Oceanside-based nonprofit offering educational programs
for children and adults with developmental disabilities.
The father of two young children, Peter is a physically active participant in life, surfing,
bicycling, golfing and bird watching to name a few of his outdoor sports..
Celesd began her association with the conservancy by first
becoming enchanted with the lagoon and its inhabitants.
What started out as her being dragged along on birding and
photography trips by business partner, Heather Kinch, soon
turned into a love of the beauty and serenity of this “natural
treasure” and a desire to get involved. Membership led to art
donations, marketing consulting and finally the duo being
asked to co-chair the publicity committee for SELC’s 20th
Anniversary “Birds of a Feather” event.
Celesd currently serves as Senior Vice President, Sales &
Marketing of a national financial services company and
comes to SELC with over 25 years of sales, marketing and
entrepreneurial experience. She is also co-owner of Heather KiNCH Studio, Winged Light
Gallery and Red Raven Publishing. In keeping with their sense of respect and responsibility for
the environment and their commitment to making a difference, Heather & Celesd donate a
portion of all sales of their enterprises to support the conservancy’s efforts.
Celesd lives in Encinitas with her extended human and animal family.

SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR 2007 DONORS
By Elaine Dodge, Development Director
2007 was a milestone year for San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy in
each of our program areas. We treated over 90 acres of invasive
plant species covering 130 separate properties. We substantially
expanded our water quality monitoring program both in the
lagoon and in North County. We celebrated 20 years of preserving,
protecting and enhancing the ecological reserve at our Birds of a
Feather Gala. We developed education curriculum for 3rd and
5th grade students based upon California’s State Standards. All
of these successes would not have been possible without the
support of members like you.

Have you wondered about the birds and plants you
see at the San Elijo Lagoon? Are you interested in
learning more about coastal wetlands and sharing
your knowledge with others? Now is your chance to
join a dedicated group of volunteers who lead walks
at the reserve.
In 2007 we hosted over 172 groups on guided
nature walks at San Elijo Lagoon. These groups
ranged from preschool to college level. Six
outstanding docents who led over 60% of all the
walks in 2007 were recognized and awarded prizes:
Peter Ash, Bob Chaddock, Kathy Dickey,
Joan Herskowitz, Margaret Parry, and
Elizabeth Venrick.
