Heads up, Humboldt:
While the county's masking mandate has been lifted, Public Health is still strongly recommending masking indoors in public, social distancing and "avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces."
COVID-19 is still with us, so be sure to check the protocols at event venues.
The California Native Plant Society (CNPS) invites the public to "North Coast
Scholarship Research." Gabe Goff and Len Mazur will share the results of their 2019 research, funded in
part by the North Coast Chapter of CNPS. Gabe is a graduate student in the
Humboldt State Forestry, Watershed, and Wildland Sciences Program. His research
investigates the effects of conifer encroachment and removal on ecosystem
physiology and biodiversity in native Oregon White Oak woodlands. Len recently
received his degree from Humboldt State University. He is currently the lead
Vegetation Management Technician for Sonoma County Regional Parks, where he is
establishing an early detection network for invasive weeds, monitoring post-fire
landscapes, and restoring rare plant habitats. He will share his senior
capstone project, which assessed the ecological health of two Darlingtonia fens
in the Mill Creek Addition of Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park.
Doors open at 7:00 p.m. for snacks, sales, and socializing. The North
Coast Chapter of CNPS offers free public programs on the second Wednesday of
each month, September through May. 707-822-2015, www.northcoastcnps.org.
