No comments?! Well, I just want to say thank you for the work you do and for putting these fascinating and informative talks on UA-cam. I am so very grateful.

Thank you for providing the power point. Wonderful talk. Kalaya

You fade out each time you move around. All of the stuff you are talking about should be in front of you, so you don't need to keep wandering off.

I just watched this video about Dudley’s Lousewort. Near the end Ben talked about the plants to the left of the visitors center at Portola State Park. My Wife and I went bike camping there for two nights on 7/28/24 and 7/29/24. Upon returning from a hike to the Peter’s Creek Loop we happened to meet Kim Kuska. He was sitting and pointing a camera at one of these plants across from the visitors center. There were ants on the seeds and a yellow jacket happened to stop by. He was a fountain of information and we enjoyed all the information he was giving us. That was until he got to the part about the fir tree that was removed from the fenced area to the left of the visitor’s center, only a week earlier. He showed us the stump and where the contractor that removed the tree had trampled, set chainsaws on top of and piled logs on top of the lousewort plants there. A ranger named Andrew Dobbs had come in earlier in the morning and Kim asked for removal permits and CEQA approval but no one knew anything about this. I found this to be quite disturbing. I sent off some emails about this when I got home from camping. I received a reply from a compliance specialist with the CDFW and another from a State Parks Environmental Scientist named Ryan Dillar, who was also mentioned in the video. Ryan is also the one who sent me the link to this UA-cam video. He says the tree posed a threat to the visitors center and the action falls under “maintenance”. Seems to me the Lousewort plants should have been offered some protection. I tried to contact Ben but his email is no longer active.

I just found this talk and I plan to listen to it. Do you have specific input on Sanborn County Park and on Rancho Cañada del Oro in terms of finding wild flowers? Thanks!

--The Kite Hill Wildflower Preserve is mentioned at 30-1/2 minutes into this video, is owned by the Town of Woodside and has been undergoing very intensive Ecological Restoration for the last eight years, by mowing monthly at 8-12 inches high and adding fertilizers and mulch to the serpentine soil, to produce a guaranteed April and May SuperBloom each April. --Easy access by parking behind the Jane Drive gate and walk through the pedestrian gate. Preserve open 24/7. Located off Canada Road and Laning Drive, just a few miles south of the more famous Edgewood Preserve.

Very poor audio during the question and answer session.

Great presentation! Thanks!

Interesting to see all the plants he's grown in containers, but I wish more of the talk was about HOW he did it. At one point he just casually mentions he has to dig them up once a year and cut their roots back ... that seems like the most important kind of information here and be barely touches on it! Do all native plants in containers need root trimming? How much root should be left? How do you know when the plant is old enough to need that? I feel more confused than I did before I started the video!

Too much background noise

Great presentation on native plants in northern California. Thanks for sharing

This is easily the most informative video I've seen on this subject. Thank you!

Amazing! Astounding photography & vast volume of information! Thank you so much! 🌺 🐝

Tremendous presentation & incredible photos! Your passion for and understanding of bees is immense! Thank you so much for increasing my bee knowledge beyond what I ever imagined! Delving in to your UA-cam channel now! 🌸 🐝 ❤

Great presentation! Thank You!

Love her songbird voice very good information

Thank you for this. I have been a member in San Diego and wish to join here,. We need more local plants in Half Moon Bay. Should I join your chapter? The you tube videos are fabulous

Were the slides posted online? Thanks for the helpful content!

Any chance you could post edited videos 30 minutes or less ? These videos are really long and I can’t last after the first 10 minutes of introduction. You could make a UA-cam short just naming the plants too.

there are a Paul Heiple chapter from dudleya, but dont found maybe any help thanks

Great discovery, i work in vitro with this

Is it possible to provide a link to her slides and the links she shared during this presentation?

This is such a wonderful presentation. Really appreciate the use of scientific names. Thank you so much!

You mentioned volunteer days out at the UCSC Arboretum as a way to help the Indigenous Peoples of the Central Coast, and I thank you for sharing that. I’m also wondering about those specific relearned skills of basketweaving and acorn harvesting and if there are ways for non-indigenous peoples to take part in these relearned sessions from the indigenous peoples who have relearned these skills. Is there a calendar of events you can direct us to for ways to help indigenous peoples and to bring awareness of these skills to the larger public? Thanks so much for this excellent presentation🙏 Rick Flores did an amazing job presenting some very difficult topics🙏

Found you thru UA-cam doing a search for ‘Amah Mutsun Acorn Harvesting’. Thank you for recording this webinar and sharing this information🙏

What cool information! I’m particularly interested in the monkey flower study. Are there results yet?

I dont know where this person gets their data from, but the biggest polluters and in turn most devastating to the climate are methane from agriculture and gas and oil industry. Carbon sequestration is an abstract conservative myth. I believe in the cnps because it’s an organization with a tangible goal. Biodiversity is infact an important thing to restore to bring this planet back from devastation

I heard about Calscape from the owner of East Bay Wilds - Native Plant Nursery. (And I'm glad I did!)

Amazing talk !

Thanks David and Doug for all of your hard work on the book!

AB FAB! So interesting. I wondered if all the hybrids attracted the pollinators and native birds? Very disappointed in the native plant hybrids our HOA planted. Look great, but does not attract pollinators. Again, superb presentation, would love a field trip. Thank you Dave Muffley and CNPS-SVC.

Linda Vista is a fantastic nursery in Saratoga. Oaktown is also fantastic.

Thank you for uploading this, really great!

So very glad I finally found this (not easy!), thank you so much for telling us about the ollo clip and for sharing so many wonderful photos. Way to go!

What a great class this was, The Trees are Majestic.

Heard about the Santa Clara County Native Plant Society through a volunteer at an Alameda NPS Tour. Thank you for your informative presentation today.

Excellent presentation David, thank you very much!!!

Not sure how to sign in and create account. That wasn't clear

Wow you explain in a very nice manner... Thumbs up 👍 Stay blessed and happy 💞

CNPS: outstanding effort and great presentation by Arvind Kumar and Ashok Jethanandani.

Excellent presentation. Thank you!

I loved the introduction!

great insights and knowledge, many thanks!!!!! we are trying to save a beautiful park in pittsfield, mass, springside, from an invasion of wheeled locusts that destroy the environment, animal, plant, and bird life, known as mountain bikers. we are the best friends of springside park and the vincent j. hebert arboretum at springside.

Dudleya Gnoma is from Santa Rosa Island, one of the Channel Islands of California correct not Baja ?

Thank you for posting!

Wonderful presentation! I’m a northern Central Valley (Butte County) resident, so will need to adjust plantings accordingly. I’ve been able to keep my Narrow-leaved and Showy Milkweed, both grown from local seed collecting, alive and thriving pretty well all summer by sprinkling with drip watering. I appreciate all the resources you added towards the end! And your enthusiasm is contagious in any climate. Thanks so much!

Up in Santa Rosa I have California Fuchsias doing very well in two diferent pots. They need water, but grow really well and bloom for extended periods. One is Catalina, not sure what the other is.
