Greetings!
As the year ends, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your continued support of the California Native Plant Society and especially our Shasta Chapter. I want to thank our Board for their continued generosity of time and friendship, and look forward to starting another new year celebrating California’s immense biodiversity of native plants.

Wishing you all a happy holiday season.
~Amy Henderson, Shasta Chapter CNPS President

PS: Shasta Chapter CNPS does not hold meetings in December. However, we still hold other events, such as propagation sessions and field trips. See you at a December activity, or in the new year!
