Missing Samurai Found!  State Parks and American River Conservancy have recently located the grave of the influential Japanese pioneer that started silk and tea farming in El Dorado county.  On Thursday June 7th, join the Protecting Public Lands group of EDP and State Park Ranger Emily Bertram for an exploration of this and other historic graves sites located at the Marshall Gold Discovery State Park in Coloma.

Meet at the Pioneer cemetery on Cold Springs Road at 5:30 .  (This is located on the East side of Cold Springs Road, just opposite the Old Coloma theatre. We will put out a sign.) We will then move to “the Marshall Monument” in the park, for further discoveries--- and to enjoy a potluck picnic with spectacular views.   Bring a dish to share and your own utensils. (We encourage “green picnicking” with use of reusable utensils) . All ages welcome.
