Well, we tried. But try as we may, March 19 simply did not work out for the prospective speakers we’d set our hopes on.
And truth be told, we have had a challenging time getting on top of the scheduling wave recently. While our pool of potential speakers is growing, it is still not large enough to ensure that we can weather last-minute difficulties.
But you can help! Do you have expertise on a pertinent topic (e.g., botany, native plant gardening, conservation, restoration, etc.) that you would like to share with our intently curious group? Can you recommendation someone who has expertise on those topics that we might approach? If so, please contact us at shastacnps@gmail.com and tell us about it!
Providing educational programs is one of the most important things we do. Please let us know how you can help! ~Shasta Chapter CNPS
