NEWSLETTER OF THE DOROTHY KING YOUNG CHAPTER
CALIFORNIA NATIVE PLANT SOCIETY
PRESIDENT’S CORNER
by Lori Hubbart
Reaching Out
The Environmental Partnership composed of four
local environmental groups puts on a potluck
dinner and program every March. Members of
these groups pointed out recently that we are
really preaching to the choir at these events. It is
an occasion for us to show our appreciation for
each other’s efforts and remind ourselves that we
are not really alone in our work.
Still, James Bernard of the Mendocino Land
Trust was right in calling for a different event with
outreach to a broader segment of the public in
the Mendocino/Fort Bragg area. This would be
an ideal way for CNPS to be more visible in that
region, so we’re all for it.
Some sort of environmental fair would be a
venue for our chapter to sell some native plants
in our northern region – not a full-on plant sale –
just enough to raise our visibility.
Do you have suggestions about how this event
should be structured? What should be the theme
or focus? If you would you like to help plan it or
put it on, please let me know.
Speaking of outreach, DKY provided information
at a forum at The Sea Ranch on native plant
gardening. The lively new color membership
brochures were snapped up, and we may even
get some new chapter members.

News about our plant sale
The DKY fall plant sale has become a notable
event in Gualala thanks to Jon Thompson! We
owe so much to Jon for reviving and re-inventing
the plant sale, and to his partner, Roberta Rams,
plant saleswoman extraordinaire, who has
helped out with the plants and brought wonderful
produce to share.
After several years of both coordinating the plant
sale, and growing most of the plants, Jon has
decided to take some well-earned time off after
this fall’s sale. Panic! The sale is a major source
of income for our chapter, so we can’t let it fall by
the wayside. This year the sale is October 14
from 10 until 2 at the Gualala Community Center.
What we really need are several people to grow
plants and someone else to coordinate the sale.
Oh, yes – we could also use more participation.
Growers will need help watering, weeding and
pruning plants. If we had an actual nursery
facility, as some chapters do, it would succeed
only if there were enough volunteers to keep it
going.
If you are interested in taking over part of this
work please contact me at 882-1655 or
lorih@mcn.org to volunteer.
Our chapter needs you!
PROGRAMS
An Intimate Potluck Dinner with
the New CNPS Executive Director
Meet Amanda Jorgenson, Executive Director for
the California Native Plant Society on Monday,
September 11 (Take back the day!)
6:00 PM, Albion School meeting room,
30400 Albion Ridge Road, Albion.
From Hwy. 1, turn east on Albion Ridge Road,
go 0.1 miles, make a slight right onto Albion
River South Side Road, which becomes Albion
Ridge Road, then go up 2.8 miles to the school
on the left.
This is a special event for our chapter members
to learn about state CNPS projects, and share
concerns with our top boss – all without going far
from home. Amanda Jorgenson’s fascinating
background includes running a major land
conservancy in El Salvador.
Teresa Sholars of College of the Redwoods will
present a program on the plants of our coast
region. New members can learn more about our
plants, and get to know some fellow plant people,
too.
Please bring a salad, main dish or dessert to
share and join us for a lively evening. It helps if
you can bring your own dishes and silverware,
and remember, this is a public school, so no
alcohol allowed.
Coast Habitat Gardens for
Wildlife and People
Thursday, October 12
7:00 PM, Gualala Community Center
(Hwy. 1, south end of Gualala)
Speaker: Lori Hubbart
Experience the beauty and excitement of a
natural California garden. Indigenous plants can
bring you joy and a sense of place, while
providing sustenance for wildlife.
Lori Hubbart will share ideas for drama, insight
and a sense of adventure, using native plants
and basic structural elements. Lori studied
landscape design at U.C. Berkeley and worked
for seven years at Yerba Buena Nursery,
propagating, tending and selling native plants.
2 September-October ’06
Lori also writes a garden column for the
Lighthouse Peddler and does volunteer work for
local organizations, including the California
Native Plant Society.
Holiday Potluck and Annual
Meeting
Sunday, December 10
12:00 Noon, Greenwood Community Center in
Elk (Hwy. 1 east side, south end of town)
SAVE THIS DATE! Details in next issue.
CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS
Get Involved! Yes, we need you to help make
chapter projects successful. Some chapters
have two or more chairpeople for different
geographical areas or population centers, which
lessens the workload.
Plant growers – propagate and/or tend some
native plants for the sale
Plant Sale Chairperson – organize our Annual
Fall Plant Sale
Publicity Chairperson – email publicity info to
newspapers and radio stations, design and
put up flyers.
Education – conduct short education programs
and/or work on native plant gardens with local
schools. We could use two people – one in
the north and one in the south.
Vegetation Chairperson – Organize surveys of
local plant communities, a great way to get
out into the wild.
Program Chairperson – Contact potential
speakers from a list and arrange for programs
in the Gualala and Mendocino areas. Maybe
we need two people for this?
Please contact Lori Hubbart at 882-1655 or
lorih@mcn.org to volunteer.
STATE CNPS NEWS
Annual CNPS Conservation Conference –
September 8th and 9th
This year’s September Conservation Conference
will be held on the scenic Humboldt coast at the
Manila Community Center – right on the dunes in
Arcata. Our chapter is co-hosting the meeting,
so come on up and enjoy the good company and
fine birdwatching.
Friday evening will feature updates and
discussions on conservation policies, growing
an education program and outreach to the public
and the scientific community, CNPS elections
and more.
Saturday’s session will focus on regional and
general plans and how to influence them.
Environmental attorney, Keith Wagner, will be a
key speaker, and we’ll hear from several
chapters about their experiences with planning
processes.
There will also be a presentation about the
California Coastal Commission, its processes,
jurisdiction and plant protection opportunities.
This conference is a priceless opportunity to
meet native plant people from around the state,
exchange information, hear some amazing
stories and eat some great food.
If you would like to attend, you will need a meal
form, directions and lodging information. Please
contact Lori!
New Rare Plant Botanist
After losing our excellent staff botanist, Misa
Ward, our Executive Director, Amanda
Jorgenson, assembled a search committee to
find a new botanist. The committee, which
included our own Teresa Sholars, came up with
Kristi Lazar.
For her Masters thesis Kristi worked with Dr.
Michael Barbour in the characterization of rare
plant species of vernal pools of California. She
has a deep interest in and love for California’s
indigenous plants, and is a CNPS member.
We welcome Kristi, and wish her success in this
challenging position!
AUGUST CAMPING TRIP
by Mary Hunter
The camping trip to Kangaroo Lake in Klamath
National Forest, Siskiyou County, in early August
was enjoyed by several DKY members. We
were joined there by Wilma and Bill Follette for
two days of botanizing, with a little fishing and
gold panning thrown in for good measure.
3 September-October ’06
Our camping chair, Diane Wickstrom, chose a
beautiful area in the mountains southwest of
Yreka for this year's adventure. The DKY Board
voted to commend Diane for planning and
organizing such an outstanding trip.
The unique landscape was punctuated with fens
that were filled with the insectivorous plant,
Darlingtonia californica, Cobra Lily. This species
is endemic to the northern Sierra Nevada and
Coast Ranges of southwestern Oregon and
northern California. Often these wet areas were
also habitat for Lilium pardalinum ssp.
shastense, Hastingia album, Tofieldia glutinosa
and many other blooming natives.
Marla Knight, the Klamath National Forest
botanist, led us on a hike from the lake to points
above the snow patches. She also graciously
provided us with a plant list (4 pages!) which was
a great help as we moved from the pines,
manzanitas and huckleberry oaks of the
campground through the Cinquefoil, Prince's pine
and Columbine of the higher forested area, and
finally to the tiny Calochortus, Streptanthus and
Anemones of the rocky ridge top.
The enthusiastic DKY campers held some lively
conversations about where to go next spring.
The most-mentioned area was Pt. Reyes. Stay
tuned.

CONSERVATION – Local
by Lori Hubbart
Pygmy Forest Lawsuit Update
The developer dropped its application for
subdivision, which makes our case moot. What
have we accomplished? The County of
Mendocino has been put on notice that local
people care about the pygmy forest and will take
action to protect it. The county may be more
diligent about posting public notices. People who
want to buy pygmy forest land may think twice,
not wanting to get involved in lawsuits or
regulatory hassles.
Meanwhile, a recent court decision may be
helpful in establishing that occurrences of pygmy
forest are usually wetlands under federal law.
The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has
issued an early and important decision regarding
Clean Water Act jurisdiction, building upon the
Supreme Court's Rapanos decision on when
waters adjacent to navigable rivers are subject to
Clean Water Act jurisdiction.
The Ninth Circuit affirmed the Clean Water Act
jurisdiction over a pond that is near the Russian
River in California. The Court found that the
pond significantly affected the chemical, physical
and biological integrity of the nearby river, and
was therefore protected by the Act. The Court
4 September-October ’06
also looked at the pond's wildlife values in its
finding.
It might be helpful if someone with pygmy forest
land outside the Coastal Zone would hire a
consultant to do a wetlands delineation. It is not
clear how this could be made part of any public
record if not connected to a development project,
but an article could be run in the Mendocino and
Ft. Bragg newspapers.
Jackson Demonstration
State Forest
The California Department of Forestry and Fire
Protection (CDF) is considering revising the
mission for the Jackson Demonstration State
Forest (JDSF). Revision would give more
emphasis to habitat restoration, formal research
and multiple-use. The impetus for this is coming
from the higher echelons of CDF in Sacramento.
There would still be logging, though at a reduced
level. Most of the money generated would go
back into programs at JDSF, rather than to out-
of-county, urban programs as is currently done.
CDF representatives toured sites within the forest
with Vince Taylor of the Campaign to Restore
JDSF and Kathy Bailey of the Sierra Club. This
idea is being taken quite seriously in
Sacramento, but there are many hurdles to be
overcome.
Vince Taylor has advised that no letters should
be written at this time. He and Ms. Bailey will let
us know when/if letters are needed.
Havens Neck
Yes, it’s true – 14 or so acres of central Havens
Neck land are for sale. It probably includes the
prime manzanita hybrid area where
Arctostaphylos nummularia, A. columbiana and
A. uva-ursi are mixing it up and constituting a
significant botanical resource.
This land should be purchased as a field
research site with limited, by-appointment public
access. The problem is that sea bluff residential
parcels are priced very high, and institutions of
higher learning do not have that kind of money to
spend for a small number of acres. Discussions
with university and botanical garden staff have
borne this out.
The Redwood Coast Land Conservancy is very
interested in this land and would love to
administer it as a reserve. The surrounding
neighbors reportedly do not want a house built in
their viewshed. We can envision a coalition of
people and groups getting together to purchase
this land, but it would take a major infusion of
cash from some source to make it happen.
CONSERVATION -
Elsewhere in the State
Vernal Pool Update – As our readers probably
know, the much-contested new U.C. Merced
campus was built and is now open for business.
The campus and associated planned community
sit right in the middle of prime vernal pool habitat.
The master plans were modified after loud
protests from environmental groups and the
scientific community. While stories have given
credit for these improvements to various people,
we who have followed this issue from the start
know where much of the credit is due.
Carol Witham, former CNPS state president and
vernal pool specialist worked tirelessly to get the
project moved to a more suitable location (yes,
alternate locations did exist). She set the stage
for academic diplomacy to modify campus plans
to avoid at least some of the pools.
Now the Sacramento Bee Reports that: “The
new campus has struggled to recruit students,
with enrollment for the academic year beginning
Aug. 28 falling short of projections.”
The photo accompanying the story shows
campus buildings done in 1960s county jail-style
architecture. Our irreplaceable vernal pools
were destroyed for this?
GARDENING NOTES
by Lori Hubbart
Although our local native flowering plants peak in
the spring, wild areas can provide inspiration for
late summer flower combinations. In August on
Highway 1, approaching the Garcia River flood
plain, I was thrilled to see banks of Canada
goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) intermixed with
pearly everlasting (Anaphalis margaritacea).
5 September-October ’06
What a grand sight they made – the crisp, pure
white flowers of the pearly everlasting were a
perfect foil for the deep golden-yellow spikes of
the goldenrod.
In a garden, the obvious choice to round out the
composition is California fuchsia, formerly known
as Zauschneria and now classified as Epilobium.
Add those hot, orange-red trumpets to the mix
and you’d have a real showstopper.
The best zauschneria for the north coast is the
one native a few miles inland, once called
Zauschneria septentrionalis, and now Epilobium
septentrionale. It has broad, grayish or silvery
leaves, and is usually a very attractive plant.
The cultivar called ‘Select Mattole’ is probably the
most compact form of this plant in the nursery
trade. A compact form will be less rangy, as
some zauschnerias can be. Remember that
these plants will attract hummingbirds, and care
should be taken if cats are about. Low-growing
forms don’t provide much cover in which the cats
can hide while waiting to jump for the
hummingbirds.
All of these perennials can propagate themselves
by spreading, so should be grown where they
won’t interfere with more delicate plants. They
can use occasional water, including Epilobium
canum, a more southerly zauschneria that
tolerates dry conditions. Our local species, E.
septentrionale, actually needs a bit of water.
We eagerly await starts of the northern California
fuchsia that grows in Sonoma County inland from
Gualala, and hope to someday make it available
at our plant sales.
