FALL CHAPTER PROGRAM Presentation on ethnobotany by Mary Gorden... |
WINTER CHAPTER PROGRAM “Springtime in Chile” Several years ago David visited Santiago and the Lake District in December, a trip that included botanical explorations of the northwestern Patagonian Steppe of Argentina, the Yerba Loca nature preserve in the Andes east of Santiago, the Chochamo Valley, Puyechue National Park, Osorno, Puerto Montt and the Andes near San Carlos de Bariloche. His program will tell about the scenery and vegetation of that part of the world. Join us, with family and friends, to share this bright and cheerful evening. Free and open to all, a social gathering begins 6:30 pm. There is plenty of easy parking at the Springville Memorial Building, located on the left side of Hwy 190 in Springville.

Fall CHAPTER MEETING
In this groundbreaking and meticulously field-tested guide, the rich variety of Sierra life—trees, wildflowers, ferns, fungi, lichens, fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, mammals, and insects—comes alive. John Muir Laws illustrated this field guide with more than 2,800 watercolor images to feature more than 1,700 species of plants and animals of the Sierra. It includes the usual subjects of a comprehensive field guide: birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, trees, shrubs, wildflowers, fungi, and insects, as well as items not usually found in such guides like animal tracks and scat, aquatic life, spiders webs, cloud formations, season star charts, weather patterns, natural history notes on behavior and species interactions, and range maps of species that are otherwise difficult to distinguish. The guide is lightweight and begs to be taken along in a backpack onto the trail! 2007 Heyday Books
