Conservation Committee outlines April native‑plant month outreach and volunteer activities
Summary
The committee planned April’s California Native Plant Month with volunteer-led walks, a farmers‑market table, library exhibits, and social-media posts; Eliza volunteered to write copy, Judy will coordinate programming, and members agreed to staff a farmers‑market table and publicize regional plant-sale events.
The Conservation Committee outlined a program of outreach for California Native Plant Month in April, including guided walks, a presence at the local farmers market, library displays, and weekly social-media posts.
Judy Murphy (lead of the subcommittee) asked for volunteer support and described a list of weekly topics and activities; Eliza volunteered to draft almanac copy and other outreach materials. Committee members volunteered to staff a farmers‑market table (3:00–5:00 p.m. on Thursdays) for one or more sessions; Chris Morris and Nona Cherello offered to help with logistics and display materials. The committee discussed capacity limitations for Jasper Ridge walks (noting parking constraints at Escobar) and agreed to coordinate additional dates rather than expand already full sessions.
Members also agreed to publicize related regional events (Hidden Villa, Grassroots/Native Plant Society plant sales) and to ensure the committee’s materials note other local plant-sale partners. The committee will refine the schedule and staffing offline and return with a finalized outreach plan.
