SENIOR MONDAY AT THE R. H. FLEET SCIENCE CENTER Monday, August 2 Noon Balboa Park Entrance Fee (for seniors 65 and better): $6.00 If you're 65+ get together with other Torrey Piners for Senior Monday at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park. The entrance fee of only $6.00 includes a lecture at 12:30, all current exhibits, and the 2:00 pm IMAX movie. The lecture takes place in the Grayson Boehm Lecture Hall.. Lectures often sell out so come early to purchase lecture tickets by 11:00 a.m. and then enjoy the galleries and special senior discounts in the cafe and store before the lecture. In August, Richard W. Halsey, a chaparral ecologist, writer, and director of The California Chaparral Field Institute, a non-profit research and educational organization focusing on California's shrubland ecosystems will speak on "Chaparral & Wildfire". Of all the distinct, natural communities in California, only one is found throughout and only one can be said to represent the state's most characteristic wilderness: the chaparral. Join us as we explore the chaparral's unique natural history, reveal the truth concerning its many myths and surprising mysteries, and why it represents such a vital link to nature for all Californians. We will also discuss how we can create fire safe communities and protect our natural environment at the same time. Then in the IMAX movie, "RING OF FIRE", we'll see spectacular volcanic eruptions, including Mount St. Helens. This film is about the immense natural force of the great circle of volcanoes and seismic activity that rings the Pacific Ocean and the varied people and cultures who coexist with them.
