Nature on the Edge Zoom Book Talk with Bruce Byers

Zoom

The Marin Chapter of the California Native Plant Society hosts author Bruce Byers.

This talk will feature highlights from the book Nature on the Edge regarding the history of the Golden Gate Biosphere Region, the heroes/heroines who fought to conserve its biodiversity over more than a century, and will give a few examples of native plant research and restoration going on now. Examples will include manzanitas and their relationship to serpentine soils; fire ecology of bishop pine at Point Reyes; restoration of native sand dune vegetation at Lobos Creek in San Francisco; and conservation and restoration of lupines at San Bruno Mountain and Sweeney Ridge as larval host plants for the endangered Mission Blue butterfly.
