A focus of most all Naturalists at Large programming is the interaction of the individual with the group. The needs of both must be met through the development of cooperation, leadership and problem solving skills.
![Page 33: Point Reyes - Olema: Naturalists at Large](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103015/548a946db479595d588b4580/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The facilitation of activities, with the emphasis on our interaction with the environment and each other, promotes awareness of each individual’s role in making the group experience a positive one.

The Coast Miwok people were the inhabitants of what we now call Marin and southern Sonoma Counties. They had a rich economy based on gathering, fishing and hunting. Village communities of 75 to several hundred people developed in sheltered places near fresh water and plentiful food. "Kule Loklo" (meaning "Bear Valley") is a recreated village.

Wildlife abounds throughout the Seashore. Along the coast you may find marine mammals such as whales, seals, and sea lions. A closer look reveals an abundance of bird life feeding near the tideline. Back in the forest, you may glimpse a bobcat, coyote, raccoon, or skunk scurrying off. We also have plenty of deer and elk to be seen.

Allergies, Medications, and Special dietary

Equipment Reminders
Follow your equipment list.
Pack together. Adult and student can double check the contents of the gear bag.
All clothing should fit in a medium size duffle.
A day pack is essential to move about the program with water, some food, extra layers of clothing, and personal incidentals.
Utensil Kit that may be reused for each meal and a cup that can handle hot & cold liquids.
![Page 73: Point Reyes - Olema: Naturalists at Large](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103015/548a946db479595d588b4580/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Rain gear is a must. (water-proof shell) Rain Ponchos are fine.
Comfortable closed toed shoes are required. Light weight hikers or tennis shoes with a few pairs of good outdoor socks (non-cotton).
A good water bottle (quart or liter).
The proper sleeping bag (check your equipment list for specifics).
Ground pad. Ensolite pads are much cheaper than thermarest types and work just as well.
![Page 74: Point Reyes - Olema: Naturalists at Large](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103015/548a946db479595d588b4580/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Plastic bag protection. A half dozen, 1 or 2 gallon storage ziplocks are good for protecting clothing in a gear bag from moisture. Along with a couple hefty 15 to 30 gallon bags to line your gear bag and sleeping bag (& daypack).
Don’t send gear that you could not afford lost or broken (expensive cameras, cell phones, and other electronics). A handy disposable camera would be just fine.
Follow your equipment list, ask questions, borrow from friends.
