Dear Members:
It’s summer again! I would like to invite you to a Wildflower Tour of Mt Lassen, by car, on Tuesday, July 12, 2022. I have been scouting the floral display, and it is glorious, so I have high hopes for the July 12 outing.

I want you to know that the Board members and I value your membership and all that you do for native plants and the environment. I wish you a wonderful summer, enjoying our lovely area.
~Susan Libonati-Barnes, President
