August Update
Evening programs. In-person gatherings are still not appropriate, so in September we will resume our second Wednesdays evening programs via Zoom.
Field trips are currently not permitted by our state CNPS headquarters. But you can do your own walks. For suggestions, visit the Places to See Plants page and visit the flower collection locations that are featured at our virtual Wildflower Show. Also check the "Hiking Humboldt" books by Ken Burton and Rees Hughes, and the Redwood Parks books by Jerry and Gisela Rohde. Don't forget to share your native plant pictures on our Facebook Group!
Fall Native Plant Sale - Saturday & Sunday, September 26 & 27. We have applied for another permit to do an in-person, appointment-only sale (masks required, maximum 15 customers at a time) at our volunteer-run chapter nursery at Freshwater Farms Reserve, 5851 Myrtle Ave., Eureka. Check our website for information updates!
Spring Wildflower Show. It's summer now, but we think you will still enjoy the website, and its photo galleries and information on flower photography, invasive plants, and pollinators.
