Tucson Chapter Meetings
Posted Sep 01, 2026
Fall Kickoff!
September – November 2026
On September 10, the Tucson Chapter will inaugurate its fall season at Molino Basin, a lovely woodland on the slopes of the lower Santa Catalina Mountains. At 3:30 Lyn Loveless and John Schering will lead a plant ramble. At 5:00 we will break for a picnic. The board will provide the sandwiches; attendees are asked to bring a side dish or dessert to share. Due to summer rains in the region, we are looking forward to many amazing finds. Maybe there will even be water in the creek!
RSVP for this event to nativeplantstucson@gmail.com with “Molino Basin” in the subject line.
