AZ Native Plant Society Monthly Meeting

 The Arizona Native Plant Society is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Topic: Flagstaff AZNPS Talk: Kate Watters - Building Pollinator Habitats

Time: Aug 17, 2021 07:00 PM Arizona

Kate is a farmer, floral designer, writer and visual artist who is wild about plants. She makes her livelihood from Wild Heart Farm, a one-acre oasis in Rimrock, next to Beaver Creek. She grows flowers, medicinal herbs, and pollinator habitat and hosts plant gatherings. She worked in service to wild plant communities for 20 years in the Grand Canyon and across the Colorado Plateau, always aware and curious about plant/pollinator interactions. Kate has developed land-based artist residencies and workshops and co-curated exhibits with scientists and artists to advocate for pollinators and public lands.  To follow her entrepreneurial and artistic adventures arising from the soil visit: www.wildheartfarmaz.com and www.katewattersart.com

Arboretum Volunteer Opportunities

***COVID-19 Update***: We are NOW suggesting that EVERYONE, vaccinated or not, wear a mask when in our buildings. While outside and touring the grounds please choose to mask or not, based on YOUR comfort level. These changes to our policy are in direct response to CDC guidance and the fact that Coconino County is experiencing a positivity yield of 11.1% and has a HIGH level of community transmission. Please be a good neighbor and mask up inside!

 

If you are new to volunteering, please request a volunteer form and return to me at: Kristin.Haskins@thearb.org or you can snail mail it in to this address: The Arboretum at Flagstaff, 4001 S. Woody Mountain Rd., Flagstaff, AZ 86005. Attn: Kristin Haskins, or you can deliver it in person the first time you come out!

 

We ask that each of you fill out a volunteer time sheet so we can give credit where credit is due at the end of the season. Your volunteer hours are important for us to track and record for various granting agencies. Volunteer log-in books can be found in the Hort Center and at the front desk of the Visitor Center.

 

With appreciation,
Kris Haskins, Executive Director
