What does

Parties for the Necklace support? Redlands Conservancy’s mission is to preserve Redlands’ historic

built environment and conserve its irreplaceable natural and

agricultural environments. The Conservancy’s Emerald Necklace

programs concentrate on the natural and agricultural environments,

including major programs:

1. Trails ~ Redlands Heritage Trails and Trails at 10 Series of

Trail Excursions.

2. Public Outreach and Education ~ Presentations at events and

meetings, exhibits at events, interpretive experiences on the

Conservancy's holdings, Outdoor Ambassador program, Sunday Fun

Days, and Canyon Environments Education Program.

3. Holdings Management ~ Monitoring and managing more than

700 acres of natural open space in permanent conservation. These

lands, especially the San Timoteo Nature Sanctuary and Herngt

'Aki' Preserve in Live Oak Canyon, require management to

guarantee the protection of the lands' conservation values.

4. Land and Easement Acquisition.

5. Outdoor Ambassador Program - Training and supplying

volunteer outdoor docents who "rove" the Emerald Necklace sites

to enhance the users' enjoyment.

6. Redlands Gateway Ranch - Establishing and managing a 12-

acre ranch in Live Oak Canyon for native habitat restoration,

outdoor education, and regional trailhead.

6. And the Emerald Necklace Trail and Scenic Tour, itself!

Developed with the 1987 Park and Open Space Plan, the Emerald

Necklace is a series of culturally or historically significant natural

and agricultural open spaces, now connected by a Trail and Scenic

Route for motorists and bicyclists to enjoy.

bread that Kathy Behrens brings to events. If you are

and Kathy will meet in your home, share a pot-luck

lunch, and bake your own bread. You will each leave with

your own freshly baked loaf. Each guest will receive

the sourdough starter, instructions for "feeding" it, a

recipe, and hands-on experience mixing, proofing, and

shaping your loaf. Each guest should bring a large cast-

tasty snacks, and some chairs, and invite our guests to

do the same - bring a bottle of tasty wine or beer and

your snack specialty. We have a couple of excellent

dark night-sky viewing spots to choose from. So get

ready for a few spontaneous and happy experiences.
