Newsletters
NASA introduced a newsletter about environmental investigations and cleanup activities at SSFL in April 2011. That inaugural edition was printed and mailed to a wide audience. Conversations with community members prompted us to make the change to a newsletter we have since published online called FieldNOTE.
FieldNote - January 2013
The third newsletter online edition describes field surveys including habitat, plant and wildlife surveys recently conducted on NASA-administered land at SSFL. Also featured are the two small birding expeditions NASA assisted with in 2012. For further information, readers can link to habitat descriptions, observed plant and animal inventories, photos, and recorded owl call audio clips.

FieldNote - May 2012
The second newsletter updated NASA’s cleanup efforts at SSFL. This edition focused on field sampling plan (FSP) investigations underway for the characterization and cleanup of soils at SSFL sites administered by NASA. Opportunities for public comment on Draft FSPs, public technical roundtable meetings and group tours are also described as part of the FSP process.
