In celebration of its 60th anniversary, The City of Pleasant Hill is hosting a scavenger hunt, aka a "scaneger hunt," which includes various sites around the city that visitors can learn about by scanning the QR codes on the signs displayed there. You can learn about the history of Rodger's Ranch Heritage Center, Pleasant Hill's oldest residence, by scanning the sign, shown below, at 315 Cortsen Rd.! Photos by Alison Clary   Depending on County Covid restrictions, visitors may visit the ranch during weekly Open Houses, every Thursday, 10am - 12pm. A recent Open House brought in a few visitors like the ones below, when Board Member Lynn Spatz brought in some cookies for the occasion. Board members also use Open Houses to get work done in the house and on the site. Lynn is shown below doing some work on the fickle irrigation. Volunteers may bring gardening tools to jump in and help beautify the site!      Sustainability LIVE: "Delicious Planet-Friendly Eating" Wednesday, August 25th, 7pm REGISTER HERE Project Drawdown and other research has shown that shifting our diet can be one of the most important actions we can take to reduce our climate impact. But what does that mean exactly? Can we still enjoy delicious, nutritious, and most of all EASY meals while being conscious of our planetary impact? Our special guests will share some of their favorite meal tips, recipes and ideas while explaining concepts like "eating lower on the carbon chain" and "locavore."
