SUMMARY:Flagstaff Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, July 21\, 7:00 PM. Ries Lindley: What is a Moss? A Short Story About \na Walk in the Woods\nWhen we walk through the woods and get swept away by the beauty of what we see\, we don’t always have time to stop and think about the various microcosms that make up the ecology we see in nature. What are those tiny green plants that can grow in hot\, dry deserts or under ice and snow? Ries will take us through an introduction to the wonderful world of mosses. What are they\, where can they be found\, do they have names\, and a few other things you may find interesting.\nRies is a retired city bureaucrat who took up botany in retirement and is still working his way through the plants of Arizona. His interest in mosses was given a big boost by the pandemic of 2019. \nHybrid meeting: in-person and via Zoom. \nThe meetings take place on the third Tuesday of the month\, March through October\, at 7:00 PM and are held at the Northern Arizona University Biology Sciences Building\, Room 328. Street parking is available nearby. \nRegister in advance once in order to attend any of the meetings virtually:\n(https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/gWhRf79ZSEuoMH8rpAf91g)\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

SUMMARY:Native Plant Society of New Mexico Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Registration Opens for the Native Plant Society of New Mexico Annual Conference \nThe Native Plant Society of New Mexico’s annual conference will be held in Silver City this year\, hosted by the Gila Chapter. Headquarters will be at the Grant County Veterans Memorial Business and Conference Center at 3031 US-180. The conference\, with the theme “Roots of Resilience: Native Plants in the Next 50 Years\,” will be held Thursday through Sunday\, September 10-13\, 2026. However\, the time to register is now! Early registration starts July 1 and is available through July 31. The fee increases on August 1\, and registration closes altogether on August 21. Participation is open to anyone interested in native plants in our region but does require advance registration. \nSince 2026 marks the 50th anniversary of the Native Plant Society of New Mexico\, founded in 1976\, the Gila Chapter is pulling out all the stops to make the annual conference a memorable event. The organizers have lined up exciting speakers\, including Phil Connors\, a fire lookout in the Gila since 2002 and the author of four award-winning memoirs\, and Doug Tallamy\, a nationally known author and advocate for the importance of backyard refuges to the survival of native plants\, birds and insects. \nRegistrants will also have multiple opportunities to choose from among 30 field trips and 9 workshops. Field trips will cover many of the most scenic areas in the Gila region and range in difficulty from easy strolls in home gardens to exploration of the high Mogollons. Workshops will explore many ways to use native plants and venture into poetry and macrophotography. One highlight: Mike Kintgen\, Curator of Alpine Collections for the Denver Botanic Gardens\, will be coming down to offer a two-day workshop to create a crevice garden in the Silva Creek Botanical Garden. \nThe registration fee also includes a Meet-and-Greet on Thursday at the Murray Hotel\, a reception on Friday evening at the historic Waterworks site\, break snacks and two lunches. The banquet has an extra charge\, and all registrants are welcome to come hear Doug Tallamy speak after the banquet. \nTo register\, go online to https://www.npsnm.org/npsnm-state-conference-2026/ to see detailed information on the conference and reserve your spots. To choose the field trips or workshops that suit you best\, please consult the full descriptions available on that website. \n
