SUMMARY:Garden Tour: NPSO South Coast Chapter Native Plant Garden Tour
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, June 13\, 1:00 pm -5:00 pm\nGarden Tour: NPSO South Coast Chapter Native Plant Garden Tour\nLocation: This year the gardens are located between Langlois and Port Orford. \nTickets are $10 tickets and available at https://npsoscc.square.site/ This tour is self-guided. For information\, email Maggie Daly at ma***************@***il.com \nThe garden tour includes: \n\nA Perfect Pocket Garden\nThis small garden was installed by volunteers at a Langlois Public Library program in 2021 and has been recently updated with additional native plants. Designed by Darcy Grahek\, it is a perfect example of how to start small if you’re just dipping your toes into the native plant world. Darcy will be in attendance from 1:00 to 3:00 pm.\nLots of Plants in a Coastal Garden\nThis nearly one-acre lot sits just above wetland level and within sight of the ocean on a clear day. The garden began twenty-seven years ago on a lawn with two trees\, a clump of calla lilies\, and native forest on the periphery. Older ornamental plantings now share space with more recently added natives\, including in a pollinator garden.\nNative Treasures Revealed\nAfter spending several years clearing up their property\, the landowners began to create a nature garden near their house. To their great delight\, a thorough weeding revealed many native plants and allowed them to thrive. Highlights include bittercress\, Pacific sanicle\, self-heal\, seep monkey flower\, and silk tassel.\nAt the Foot of a Slope\nThis 2+ acre property backs up to a wetland at the bottom of a forested slope. An ephemeral stream emerges through wild ginger and wood sorrel into a small\, open meadow before flowing into the Elk River. Removal of blackberry and ivy has revealed Irises\, false Solomon’s seal\, and bleeding hearts among many others.\nGo on a Scavenger Hunt\nNative plants are sprinkled throughout this lovely residential garden. After moving in about eight years ago\, the owner moved plants from another property in Port Orford to attract bees and butterflies.

SUMMARY:Chapter Program Presentation: Nature’s Best Hope
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, June 18\, 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm\nChapter Program Presentation: Nature’s Best Hope\nPresenter: Doug Tallamy\nLocation: Zoom only.  SCNPSO is sponsoring this talk with the Oregon State University Land Steward Program. \nRecent headlines about global insect declines\, the impending extinction of one million species worldwide\, and three billion fewer birds in North America are a bleak reality check about how ineffective our current landscape designs have been at sustaining the plants and animals that sustain us. Such losses are not an option if we wish to continue our current standard of living on planet Earth. The good news is that none of this is inevitable. Doug Tallamy will discuss simple steps that each of us can\, and must\, take to reverse declining biodiversity on our own properties\, and he will explain why we\, ourselves\, are nature’s best hope. \nThe class fee is $15 per person or sliding scale. The cost helps support the Land Steward Program. Registrants will receive a link to the Zoom recording after the class. For more details and registration see: https://beav.es/UcY. \nDoug Tallamy is the T. A. Baker Professor of Agriculture in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware\, where he has authored 118 research publications and has taught insect-related courses for forty-five years. Chief among his research goals is to better understand the many ways insects interact with plants and how such interactions determine the diversity of animal communities. \nDoug’s books include Bringing Nature Home\, The Living Landscape (co-authored with Rick Darke)\, Nature’s Best Hope (a New York Times best seller)\, The Nature of Oaks (winner of the American Horticultural Society’s 2022 book award)\, and his latest book\, How Can I Help.\nIn 2021\, Doug cofounded Homegrown National Park with Michelle Alfandari (HomegrownNationalPark.org). His awards include recognition from The Garden Writer’s Association\, Audubon\, The National Wildlife Federation\, Allegheny College\, Ecoforesters\, The Garden Club of America\, The Herb Society\, and The American Horticultural Association.

SUMMARY:Field Trip: Iron Mountain and Cone Peak 
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, June 20\, 8:00 am – late afternoon \nField Trip: Iron Mountain and Cone Peak \nLeaders: Joyce Eberhart and Alex Kurowski \nWe will hike the Iron Mountain-Cone Peak loop\, identifying wildflowers in this botanical hotspot. Over 200 species of vascular plants have been recorded across this botanically rich trail west of Santiam Pass. Wildflowers of the Western Cascades (Ross and Chambers\, 1988) focuses on the flora of this area. A delightful post about the area by Tanya Harvey can be read here: https://westerncascades.com/2019/06/18/a-rainbow-of-colors-at-cone-peak-and-iron-mountain/.  Tanya’s plant list is here: https://westerncascades.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Iron-Mountain-Cone-Peak-plant-list.pdf. \nThe loop is about five miles through moderately difficult terrain and will take all day since we will walk slowly looking at so many flowers. There is about a 1\,000-foot elevation gain\, mostly in the first one-third of the hike. Bring a lunch and water\, dress for the weather\, and wear sturdy shoes (there may still be snow drifts). \nMeet for carpooling at 8:00 am at the Oregon State University\, Wilkinson Hall parking lot (44.5692746\, -123.2810976) southwest of Java Crew Coffee at 26th and Monroe.
