Welcome to Channel Islands National Park and Marine Sanctuary

Welcome!

I have started this blog as a request. It is basically to share my accounts as a volunteer naturalist at Channel Islands National Park and Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary.


To volunteer at the islands for me is a way to step out of everyday busy life; it is a step backwards into a quieter more isolated time period. And, yes it is a place to wander without worry. I do a lot of talking each shift, especially when I lead a hike on one of the islands. But, even with all my volunteer duties I always go home with a quiet peace of mind. This is my survival mechanism for life in So. Cal. with three boys and a very busy husband who owns his own business.

The awesome part of volunteering is that I get to share ideas with the park guests. Every national park in America has a wonderful, individual history, plants and animals unique to a specific region, geology that has a long story to tell.

So, again welcome and let's go whale watching!
