The California Native Plant Society has recently begun a program called the Rare Plant Treasure Hunt (www.cnps.org/cnps/rareplants/treasurehunt). The purpose is to inform conservation efforts by updating occurence records in the CNDDB of rare plants throughout California and to get as many volunteers as possible involved. If you are interested in being involved or leading a trip please contact treasurehunt@cnps.org

Also a Rare Plant Treasure Hunt field trip into the Mojave desert is planned for May 5-8th with Steve Hartman. For more information and to RSVP go to http://www.meetup.com/Rare-Plant-Treasure-Hunt/.

This workshop will focus on the field identification of both common and rare species. The Granite Mountains Desert Research Center will serve as our homebase from which to explore the sky islands of the Mojave. We will travel up to 100 miles each day and hikes will be moderately strenuous. We will be collecting in the field and evenings will be spent identifying collections and preparing herbarium specimens at the research center.

Course fee ($450/$475) includes accommodations, meals, and transportation for the duration of the workshop. Camping will be at a private campground with a pit toilet and stored water.
