Native Plant Society Update

Hi All,

July AZNPS Activities are Fast Approaching:

Tuesday, July 19 at the NAU Botany Building, Room 328 at 7:00pm: Max Licher "Sedges have edges but did you also know???" - A call for sedge collections to augment a new understanding of the genus in Arizona. Max and Glenn Rink are reviewing the sedges of Arizona to produce a taxonomic treatment that is up-to-date, accurate and easier to use. Max will share his expertise and lovely photos of sedge and their associates (with perhaps photos of Barbershop Canyon).

Sunday, July 24, 8:30 am. Meet at the Credit Union at the corner of Beaver and Butler. Griffith's Springs plant walk. Join the Northern Arizona Springs Stewards, who are volunteering to inventory springs on the Coconino and Kaibab National Forests, as we explore a hidden treasure close to Flagstaff with year-round springs and driverse native flora.

Entries in the Garden Competition are due on Friday, July 14. Judging takes place on July 23/24. The Awards Presentation is on Wednesday, August 10. THE GARDEN TOUR WILL BE SUNDAY AUGUST 14.

Have you checked out the display of non-native invasive weeds at the Downtown Library? It's provided by the AZNPS and Master Gardeners.
