At the ecosystem level, mycorrhizae are responsible for soil structure and the resistance of natural communities to weed invasion. We will enter through the lobby of the main entrance, which faces a driveway located off San Antonio Road between Hillview and Edith. The library will still be open to the public, but there is plenty of parking. If the library lot is full, proceed to the adjourning lot for Hillview Community Center. From El Camino, travel towards the hills on San Antonio Road, cross Edith and turn left into unmarked driveway just before Hillview.
Helpers are welcome as always, to assist with setup and carrying in books, plants and refreshments.
There were several meetings in 2000 during which CNPS members discussed the directions CNPS should take in the future. This meeting will be held at Stanford University because of the help from Dr. Alan Launer and the Center for Conservation Biology. All CNPS members are welcome to attend. Since the September meeting will be held at Stanford and will focus on conservation issues, I encourage all of our members with an interest in conservation or an interest in our state organization to attend. This is a great opportunity to meet people from all over the state who share our passion for native plants.
