This plaque is located to the left of the entrance to Shipley Nature Center in Central Park, Huntington Beach, California. Here is what it says: 
 
Dr. Donald Devries Shipley, a 35 year Huntington Beach resident, was a "Connecticut Yankee" who chose to make Huntington Beach his home. He was born in Stamford, Connecticut, October 26, 1913 and died in Huntington Beach on September 14, 1989.  An outstanding educator, conservationist, world traveler and humanitarian, he was a Professor of Biology at California State University Long Beach from 1953-1976 and served on the Huntington Beach City Council from 1964-1976, 4 years as Mayor.  He dedicated his life to improve the quality of life for those of us living and for future citizens. The Huntington Beach Rotary Club dedicates this plaque in the memory of Dr. Shipley who wrote: 

"We sleepwalk through our environment. Most of us are totally unaware of how little of our natural environment now remains in coastal Southern California. I submit that man may need some natural areas in his human environment much more than does our depleted wildlife."
