Some of us have been privileged to attend his Jepson workshops on Alpine plants, or Chenopodiaceae. You can expect this to be a very interesting presentation. Drive on Embarcadero Road past the Palo Alto Municipal Golf Course and the Airport until you reach a stop sign and turn left. The Baylands Interpretive Center is one half mile further on your left. The parking lot is on your right.
Lighting is poor, flashlights are helpful.
The mitigation offered by the developer, to move the rocks and regrow the plant, just did not seem very feasible to us or to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The developers, however, were in a hurry to get on with their project and are willing to do many things to help us out with saving the Dudleya. They will buy a piece of land with serpentine rocks containing an equal number of the plant or buy a conservation easement which will be turned over to another conservation agency. In addition they will fund a survey of all the Dudleya that can be found in Santa Clara county. They will pay for the mailing to Audubon of all City of San Jose projects which have 'Negative Declarations' for the next 2 years.
