Camp Mather volunteers announce July 4 dedication and raise reforestation concerns
Summary
At general public comment, Anne Clark of Friends at Camp Mather announced a July 4 dedication to Stephen Mather, warned of substantial pine-tree loss at the camp and urged visitor caution; she also announced a Sept. 23 gala to raise funds for reforestation.
At the start of the special meeting the Commission heard public comment from Anne Clark, vice president of Friends at Camp Mather, who announced a dedication at Camp Mather on July 4 marking Stephen Mather’s birthday and a plaque installation near the dining hall.
Clark said the camp has suffered significant tree loss in recent years—she referenced the loss of "15,000 pine, 1,500 pine trees" and warned visitors to take care in the hotter conditions now present at the 5,000-foot-elevation camp. She urged campers to drink water and be cautious, and said Friends at Camp Mather will host a fundraising gala at the boathouse on Sept. 23 to raise money for reforestation efforts.
The chair thanked Clark and exchanged brief remarks about naming and camp traditions. No formal action or staff follow-up was recorded in the transcript.
