• April 2 Activity Update. We are figuring out how to share native plants while being socially distant! We hope you are too. Please keep coming back here. Things are changing frequently!
• Facebook North Coast Native Plant discussion group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/NorthCoastCNPS/ is a new place for sharing pictures and ideas about our local plants. Need help with a plant ID? Try here.
• Evening programs. We are excited to offer via Zoom an April evening program on the usual second Wednesday, April 8, 7:00 p.m.. Naturalist, outdoorsman, and educator Michael Kauffmann will take us to the Klamath Mountains, home of an amazing number of conifer species. See image above. We hope to reschedule Jim Smith and our anniversary party for the fall. The May evening program might be our original speaker in the Zoom format.
• Spring Native Plant Sale. We are working out a procedure to let you see on this website our inventory, place an order by email, and pick it up at the nursery at a scheduled time. We will be ready possibly by April 15. We have lots of beautiful plants that need homes!
• Spring Wildflower Show. We are working to offer as much as we can through this website and our Facebook page and Facebook group. Keep checking the Wildflower Show page, under the Education tab on this page.
• Field trips and plant walks: We will provide through this website, our Facebook page, and our email list suggestions and information to help you enjoy the native plants and the outdoors, while observing shelter-in-place and social distancing orders.
