SUMMARY:The Kingdom of Rarities
DESCRIPTION:Eric DinersteinSan Francisco: Thursday\, June 207 p.m. refreshments\, 7:30 p.m. program When you look out your window\, why are you so much more likely to see a robin or a sparrow than a Kirtland’s Warbler or a California Condor? Why are some animals naturally rare and others so abundant? The quest to find and study seldom-seen jaguars and flamboyant Andean Cocks-of-the-Rock is as alluring to naturalists as it is vitally important to science. Eric Dinerstein will discuss his book\, an eye-opening tour of the rare and exotic. It offers a new understanding of the natural world\, one that places rarity at the center of conservation biology. The program is cohosted by the World Wildlife Fund and Island Press.    Eric Dinerstein is the lead scientist and vice president for conservation science at the World Wildlife Fund. His specialty areas include tropical mammals\, large mammal biology\, biogeography\, bats\, rhinos\, seed dispersal\, and community ecology. He is also the author of Tigerland and Other Unintended Destinations and The Return of the Unicorns: The Natural History and Conservation of the Greater One-Horned Rhinoceros.

SUMMARY:Filoli Art Exhibit--Hidden Beauty 
DESCRIPTION:Filoli’s third art exhibit of the season is Hidden Beauty\, a juried photography exhibit featuring thirty-eight images from twenty-four northern California photographers.  Photographers have a rich tradition of seeing the hidden beauty that is found in the most ordinary conditions. The images in this exhibit often go beyond the literal and demonstrate that through the eye of an artist\, the ordinary can become extraordinary and the overlooked can become lyrical. Colors\, shapes\, light\, and shadows dance for the taking.  Visitors are sure to enjoy these fascinating and inspiring images.    Also featured in the exhibit will be a display of vintage cameras; and the display will be highlighted with a collection of pinhole cameras made by photographer\, Judith Hoffman. Judith started doing pinhole photography at her son’s suggestion while they were on an “art camp” family vacation. They made cameras from Altoids tins and Quaker Oats boxes.  Judith says\, “I found the dreamlike qualities of the pinhole photos very compelling and wondered if I could make my own cameras from brass.”  Her unique images are also part of this exhibit.    The exhibit runs through August 18.    Meet the Artists Days:    Saturday\, July 20th and Sunday\, July 21st    On these special days the photographers will be at Filoli to share their experiences and their work with Filoli visitors.  Admission is free for members or with paid admission to Filoli. Reservations are not needed.    Please see here for more information.

SUMMARY:Lake Merritt and Lakeside Park Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Meet at the large spherical cage near the Nature Center at Perkins and Bellevue. We will bird around there\, then go up the garden path toward Children’s Fairyland or walk down the lake toward Embarcadero\, after which we will cover what we missed. Settling down into summer\, enlivened by the cormorant rookery and the first several (hundred) Canada Geese arriving for the annual molt party – but the lake is always lovely\, and who knows? the new mudflats may have begun to attract some shore birds.    Take the 12\, N\, or NL bus to Grand and Perkins\, and walk into the park on Perkins. Best parking is at the boathouse lot near the spherical cage. Entry\, via Bellevue near Children’s Fairyland\, is $2 if the kiosk is occupied when you arrive (which it probably will be). Buy a 2-hour ticket and try to park in the boathouse lot\, where no one checks how long cars are parked.

SUMMARY:Free Movie Screening: San Francisco - Still Wild at Heart
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a screening of San Francisco--Still Wild At Heart\, the award winning documentary directed by Melissa Peabody. Still Wild at Heart is a virtual case study of the arrival of coyotes in our urban communities. This film has been described as "uplifting\, lyrical\, moving" and "an absolute treasure of a film."    Unfolding first in San Francisco\, the film follows the story of the coyote across the national canvas--to New York City's Central Park; to Chicago\, where more than 2\,000 coyotes live today; and to rural California\, where sheep ranchers find promise in innovative non-lethal predator control methods to protect their livestock.    A discussion with Brent Plater of the Wild Equity Institute will follow the film.    About the filmmaker: Melissa Peabody's credits include Turner Broadcasting (Dolphins In Danger) and an Animal Planet 13-part series (Wyland's Ocean World)\, as well as many other documentaries for international TV broadcast. She is the executive producer and owner of Living World Films LLC.    This event is free\, but we request that you RSVP at either    http://www.meetup.com/San-Francisco-Wildlife-Enthusiasts/events/113613472/    or    http://wildequity.org/events/3418 so we know how much popcorn to pop.         Light refreshments provided.

SUMMARY:Plastic Health Harm: Your Body and the Global Community
DESCRIPTION:  Consumer plastics are ingredients in our daily lives that carry a hidden\, global story through their production\, use\, and disposal. Sorting through the news about health harm\, there can be too much information or not enough\, leaving it unclear how to respond. How do plastics affect our bodies? How do plastics affect people’s health around the planet?    Join us for a special conversation with experts Dr. Marion Guyer and Monica Wilson about common bad actors like phthalates\, PVC\, BPA\, flame retardants\, and VOCs and their associated health impacts. How do the many types of plastic that we encounter differ in their toxicity? What factors contribute to disease? How can workers in plants be affected? Monica Wilson\, the US and Canada director of Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives (GAIA)\, will examine the toxicity problems associated with reprocessing plastic waste and the impacts that plastic incineration has on frontline communities around the globe. Hear about organizations and legislative initiatives taking action on the worst chemicals and how measures such as Extended Producer Responsibility can reduce plastic packaging and the sources of harm.    This event is part of the Breaking the Chains of Plastic series co-sponsored by Plastic Pollution Coalition\, Green Sangha\, Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives\, and Transition Berkeley.

SUMMARY:Earthworks, Greywater, Rainwater Catchment Design Tour 
DESCRIPTION:Concerned about drought? Turn your house and yard into a water saving site with greywater systems\, rainwater catchment\, earthworks\, and appropriate landscaping choices. You’ll learn about greywater design and take a tour of the EcoHouse systems–the first permitted residential constructed wetland/greywater system in California and the first greywater system in Berkeley to be permitted. We will discuss the principles and process of safely irrigating with shower\, bathroom sink\, and laundry waste water and include a presentation of greywater design and the application process. We’ll cover the fundamentals of how to collect rainwater from your house and store it in cisterns or directly in your garden.

SUMMARY:Filoli Photography Exhibit Opening: Hidden Beauty

The exhibit will be open from July 25 until August 18.
