SUMMARY: Saving Wildflowers: How to be a More Effective Rare Plant Advocate
LOCATION:https://bit.ly/cnpsscv-20210317
DESCRIPTION:<p><em>This talk is cosponsored by the East Bay Chapter and our Chapter of 
 CNPS. </em></p><p>Rare plants are like canaries in coal mines: they are ind
 icator species of environmental impacts to their respective ecosystems, whi
 ch, if ignored or left unattended, could result in the destruction of those
  unique habitats. Each one has its own story of endangerment: from the Pres
 idio manzanita, with only one naturally occurring specimen in the wild but 
 reproduced from cuttings in the native nursery trade; to the Cushenbury buc
 kwheat, restricted to limestone soils and threatened by mining; to the slen
 der-horned spineflower, once common on alluvial fans in Southern California
  and now extremely endangered&nbsp;by sand and gravel mining and urban deve
 lopment. And</p><div class="column"><p>they need your help!</p><p>From more
  than 40 years&nbsp;of environmental impact&nbsp;assessment experience,&nbs
 p;Dr. Krantz will share&nbsp;some tricks of the rare&nbsp;plant protection 
 trade,&nbsp;including a citizen’s guide&nbsp;to the California&nbsp;Environ
 mental Quality&nbsp;Act and Federal and State&nbsp;Endangered Species Acts,
 &nbsp;as they pertain to rare&nbsp;plant conservation.&nbsp;Anyone can adop
 t a local&nbsp;rarity, become familiar with its natural history and testify
  before a local agency as an “expert witness” on the rare plant’s behalf. Y
 ou too can become a “Wildflower Warrior!”</p><p>Dr. Tim Krantz’s day job is
  Professor and Chair of the Environmental Studies Department at the Univers
 ity of Redland. At his “moonlight job” he serves as the founding director o
 f the Southern California Montane Botanic Garden at The Wildlands Conservan
 cy’s Oak Glen Preserve. He is an authority on the flora of the San Bernardi
 no Mountains, which was the subject of his dissertation from U.C. Berkeley.
  He is also an authority on the Salton Sea, when he served as the Salton Se
 a Database Program Director under the auspices of then-Secretary of Interio
 r Bruce Babbitt. He is an avid birder, but his particular passion is conser
 ving rare and endangered plants. He has been cited on the listing petitions
  of 15 rare, threatened or endangered species.</p><div class="page" title="
