News from the Native Plant Society

At our meeting last night, Ariel Leonard gave a great presentation on how to use i-phones to take pictures for iNaturalist. She said the forest service would like to have volunteers to take pictures of certain plants and upload them so the data is available to help make land use decisions. If you would like to help with endeavor, contact Ariel at
