Native Grasses

Grasses! These important native plants can be so hard to identify. Here's your chance to learn the easy way from Dr. Maggie Gaddis.
Maggie, president of our Southeast Chapter, has just added two fabulous new videos to our website, Grassland Ecology

CoNPS Publishes the 3rd Edition of
Common Southwestern Native Plants
by Jack Carter, Martha Carter, Donna Stevens and Jennifer Bousselot.
The third edition has been revised and expanded to include nearly 200 plants native to the southwestern United States, with a primary focus on the most common plants of the lower elevations of the four corners states. It is an ideal book for beginning hikers and experienced plant lovers alike. Jack accurately points out that it is so colorful (thanks to several CoNPS photographers!) and well formatted that it can be used as a coffee table book. The Carters have generously donated this book to CoNPS and the Terra Foundation paid for publishing so the proceeds will benefit CoNPS. Individual books can be purchased for $25 + shipping through the online CoNPS Bookstore. Wholesale orders ($12 each in multiples of 5 or a case of 16) can be made by contacting conpsoffice@aol.com.
