5 proposals were presented and discussed at the June 2nd meeting at the Lake Merritt Garden Center.
Barcode the Lake – Damon Tighe of California Center for Natural History
Birds Are Natural Ambassadors for Nature, Science, Art, & Community – Cindy Margulis of Golden Gate Audubon
Knowing Nature Thru Art – Jennifer Jastrab of Center for Empowering Refugees and Immigrants
Lake Merritt Observatory – Katie Noonan of Lake Merritt Institute (among other things!)
Exploring Urban Park Biodiversity – Donald Cooper (Eddie Dunbar presented at the meeting) of Insect Sciences Museum of California
The Core group is having follow up meetings with these groups & individuals to see what the next steps are. Karis Griffin indicated the Center would open sometime this summer, though no firm date was presented.
It was a little disappointing that we did not have the opportunity to present our own proposal due to a missed email.
