SUMMARY:Roadside Grasses\, including the newly discovered roadside Trailing Grama
DESCRIPTION:Sunday 20 August \n8am to 10am \nMeet on the north side of the Trader Joe’s Parking area on the SE corner of Magee/Oracle \nLimit: 12 participants \nRSVP to tucsonaznpstrips@gmail.com \n Roadsides are unlikely but surprising places to find dozens of native (and non-native) grasses. Join John Scheuring on a driving grass tour of roadside basins briming with various grass species. This will be a great way to learn our common grasses by seeing them side-by-side in bloom.  We will also see Trailing Grama Grass (Bouteloua diversispicula)\, the newly discovered roadside species common in Sonora that had only been previously found in Arizona in one remote area of Ironwood Forest. We will not park or walk on busy roadways but bring a reflective vest if you have one.
