Laguna de Santa Rosa Foundation. This will
be the 4th consecutive year of AVP, and the
Milo Baker Board voted in November to
donate $3200 toward the program. We are
applying for about $16.000 for CNPS funds
from the June Bilisoly bequest. I’d like to
thank the Milo Baker board, John Herrick, and
Christina Sloop and Hattie Brown for getting
the proposal out to State CNPS. We will be
reaching out to you all this spring!
The Milo Baker Board also made a decision
regarding the adoption of the Sonoma Co.
Water Coalition’s (SCWC) new mission
resolution. After submitting comments to
change some language and add some
regarding native plants, the board discussed
our purpose with the SCWC and the new
resolution. After reading the CNPS policy that
we Focus on Plants the board voted 7-2 against
signing on to their resolution. This month we
will continue the discussion about membership
and collaborations with the SCWC.
Most important to me right now is finding a

A Manual of California Vegetation Second
Edition is now available
Co-authored by CNPS vegetation ecologist Julie
Evens, DFG vegetation ecologist Todd Keeler-Wolf,
and Humboldt State University emeritus professor
John O. Sawyer.
This revision of the 1995 original is the product
of 14 years of rigorous surveys, analysis,
description and mapping of vegetation.
This comprehensive manual is a standardized,
systematic classification and description of
vegetation in the state that will become an
essential guide for ecologists, environmental
scientists, conservation planners, land-use
managers, teachers, students and natural
history enthusiasts. Its 1,300 pages contain
keys to, and descriptions of, more than 485
different vegetation types throughout the state,
from desert to vernal pools. It presents a
refined picture of the state’s diverse vegetation
patterns.
The vegetation classification method presented
in the Manual represents the classification
standards for large-scale vegetation maps
recently adopted by the state. These state
standards meet the National Vegetation
Classification System standards followed by
federal agencies. Examples of maps developed
using these standards may be viewed through

ardening with Natives
Wild about Clarkias
California’s native Clarkias are one of my
favorite spring time wildflowers and they are
easy to grow. They come in vivid shades of
red, purple, deep rose, and also in softer
shades of pinks and white.
Clarkias are an annual in the Onagraceae, or
evening primrose family. They grow quickly,
don’t need much water, like poor soil, and also
make a great cut flower. Clarkias will bloom
from summer to autumn with irrigation. Let
some go to seed for next year.
Clarkias can be direct sown in the garden in
the fall or early spring. They need light to
germinate so rake in gently. I prefer to start
them in a cold frame because I get better
germination. Use a good germination mix and
press into the soil. They will germinate in
around 10 days at 65-70 degrees. Don’t over
water.
I usually grow C. amoena, Farewell-to-spring
and C. unguiculata, Mountain Garland which
are easily found in
seed catalogs.
This fall I went
crazy and bought 7
additional varieties
native to California
including
C. bottae,
C. williamsonii,
C. rubicunda,
C. purpurea,
C.amoena ssp.
C. Whitneyi, and
is our own Sonoma
County Native.
Above: Vine Hill Clarkia C. imbricata
I ordered my seeds from www.larnerseeds.com
and www.seedhunt.com; both websites carry a
good selection.
Try Clarkias in your garden this year for early
color. They can be planted in beds, borders and
containers. They make beautiful bouquets, are
drought tolerant and don’t require much care.
Beautiful and easy to grow. ºPat Sesser

 nvasives Corner
I
I attended the quarterly meeting of the
Sonoma/Marin Management Area last month
and received a preliminary report on the weed
situation in our county. Our chapter
contributed $500 for a rapid response
coordinator which helped us to take steps on
the ground and receive reports of new
invaders to be treated before they become
unmanageable.
Thanks to the sharp eye of Sue Ostrom of the
Sonoma County Agriculture Dept. new-to-the-
county appearances of spotted knapweed,
Centaurea maculata, near College Ave. off the
freeway and near Stony Point, were quickly
removed. Often these invasives are brought in
on heavy equipment which has been employed
in sites with heavy infestation. Sue also
reported Chondrilla juncea, rush skeletonweed,
which has been a thorn in the side of California
Ag. weed workers of late, at Pepperwood. We
hope these plants did not get any further,
because they have a very serious reputation in
other counties.
Ann Howald reported infestations of Holcus
lanatus, velvet grass and Mentha pulegium,
pennyroyal - (two Sonoma County old-timers
which easily take over wetlands - at the
Lawndale wetlands. Some work has been
done, but more help may be needed in future.
These baddies don't go away just because we
lay waste to them once. According to Peter
Warner, Annadel also hosted Crupina vulgaris,
bearded crupina, which had been reported in
Annadel by Keith Wagnon in 1989 above
Spring Creek Bridge.
The Moores reported a large infestation of
Centaurea solstatis, yellow star thistle at
Shollenberger Park, and through their efforts
and volunteers including an at-risk youth
program, the star thistle has been given a
major setback. Also in the south end of
Petaluma, Salsola lanatus, Russian thistle also
known as tumbleweed, was identified. As of
the meeting, it had not been addressed yet by
Caltrans. Lakeville Highway is heavily
traveled by trucks, and as such is a good place

Pennyroyal seedlings, in a vernal pool, smell minty and
have opposite leaves. Growing here with Sonoma
Sunshine in NW Santa Rosa, it is a serious pest.
to look for new infestations of weeds from
outside the county.
Other Sonoma County sites addressed by the
Weed Management Area were at Bodega
Head: Ulex europaeus, gorse; Sonoma Coast
State Park region: Hedera helix, English ivy, and
Euphorbia oblongata, oblong spurge; and Austin
Creek Recreational Area: Dipsacus sp., teasel.
While you may wonder about other more
impressive infestations of weeds in our county,
the emphasis is on a "nip 'em in the bud"
strategy. Attacking new appearances that have
not had time to dominate the landscape will
save us from trying to deal with them later
when it may be too late. Early Detection, Rapid
Response is a more effective use of our very
limited resources.
Some other prominent weeds that have been
found in new small infestations and especially
need attention are Sesbania punicea, red
sesbania or scarlet wisteria, Lythrum salicaria,
purple loosestrife, Carthamus lanatus, distaff
thistle, but the list goes on. Please contact me if
you want a good workout and a feeling of
accomplishment.
PS: To those of you who pulled broom at Lake
Soulejule and witnessed the Baker's larkspur:
Kate Symonds and I and others replanted
forty Baker's larkspur in a new site in January.
Baker's Larkspur only grew in one place along
the road to Lake Soulejule. It had been
decimated by Marin County road workers two
years ago. Plants were salvaged and grown at
the UC Botanical Garden.

Adop-A-Vernal-Pool program
Bilisoly Grant Proposal
Find the complete document at cnpsmb.org
under Conservation Programs. Below is an
excerpt from the introductory section. (Minor
excisions are indicated by an ellipsis (…)
Project Proposal
Long-term assessment of endangered vernal
pool plants is imperative to understanding the
status and dynamics of plant populations,
especially under changing climate conditions
(Sloop & Brown, in press). While critical to
making appropriate and informed
management decisions, evaluating plant
populations year after year is difficult to fund.
Directly addressing the need for long-term
data and the lack of funding available for long-
term studies, members of the Milo Baker
chapter of … (CNPS) partnered with the
research program of the … (Laguna
Foundation) in 2007 to launch the ‘Adopt a
Vernal Pool’ program (program), a
community-based, standardized data
collection effort across the Santa Rosa Plain
vernal pool ecosystem in Sonoma. County…
Using trained volunteer citizen scientists, the
program is uniquely able to address the need
for long-term data collection without the
associated high cost of typical field
assessments. Since its inception, the program
has trained and deployed over 50 volunteer
‘citizen scientists,’ to collect and share data on
endangered vernal pool plants using a vetted,
standardized protocol. Citizen scientists
return year after year to their ‘adopted’ vernal
pool(s) to quantify abundance of three
endangered plants on the Santa Rosa Plain:
Sonoma sunshine Blennosperma bakeri,
Sebastopol meadowfoam Limnanthes vinculans,
and Burke’s goldfields Lasthenia burkei.
Trained volunteers assess density, cover,
phenology, and endangered plant distribution
using a standard protocol. They assess
community composition within the pool and
upland habitat. They also note pollinator
presence, threats to the plant community, site
Page 6
management practices, the presence of other
target native and exotic plant species, and they
conduct photo monitoring.
Since its inception three years ago the
program, training and facilitating citizen
scientists to assess endangered annual plant
population abundance, has proven to be a cost-
effective means of collecting long-term data
and implementing intensive data collection
across thousands of acres in a short, highly
weather dependent (and therefore
unpredictable) field season. Volunteers
become ambassadors of the program
promoting awareness of endangered plants
and recruiting new participants. They also
have a means to take on an active role in
environmental conservation. Nearly all citizen
scientists report the experience as positive and
are empowered by the opportunity to do
something meaningful. Our high annual
retention of citizen scientists is one measure of
success of the program. Citizen science is an
increasingly recognized way to sustain long-
term data efforts and this program provides an
exemplary model for CNPS chapters to engage
in such activities throughout the state.
Throughout California, vernal pools are home
to numerous threatened and endangered
species and provide a glimpse of the beauty of
California’s disappearing wildflowers. Due to
their nature as a refuge for native and
endangered plants, conservation of vernal pool
ecosystems is one of the highest priorities for
the preservation of biodiversity in the
California Floristic Province. Sonoma
County’s 81,000 acre Santa Rosa Plain vernal
pool ecosystem is the main habitat of Sonoma
sunshine, Sebastopol meadowfoam, and
Burke’s goldfields. These three plants and
other distinctive community members
distinguish the unique Santa Rosa Plain vernal
pool ecosystem from those in California’s
Central Valley and elsewhere in the state (A.
Solomeshch, personal communication).
Remaining populations of these species are
subject to degradation via habitat loss and
fragmentation. These three endangered plants
and their floral communities continue to be
threatened by development, lack of
management, agricultural conversions,
Milo Baker Chapter Newsletter – February 2009
invasions of non-native species, and climate
change. The 2008 US Fish and Wildlife Service
5-Year Review: Summary and Evaluation
ranked all three species with a high recovery
priority.
In 2005 the Santa Rosa Plain Conservation
Strategy was adopted to guide the continued
conservation of vernal pool resources in
Sonoma County, and to balance the need for
development with strict rules for the
mitigation of losses. However, the 2007 update
of the Biological Opinion regulating the Santa
Rosa Plain Conservation Strategy was based
on data obtained in the 1990s. Vernal pool
scientists and concerned citizens agreed that
developing a common baseline of current data
was critical to making effective management
and policy decisions. The ‘Adopt a Vernal
Pool’ program fills this need.
The program furthers the mission of the CNPS
Rare Plant Science Program by collecting and
maintaining current and accurate information
on three of California’s endangered plants. It
also furthers CNPS organizational mission of
Education and Conservation by training
community members to conduct rigorous
scientific surveys, engaging landowners about
the unique flora of their own backyards, by
attracting plant enthusiasts to CNPS
membership, and tracking land management
techniques that promote good stewardship of
unique biota. It has a broad scope by
providing an excellent model of citizen science
and assisting the preservation of a unique
ecosystem.
The Milo Baker chapter is uniquely poised to
continue this program as numerous chapter
members have been involved since its
inception and participated in the program
design and protocol development. Milo Baker
has committed seed funds to continue the
program in 2010, the 4th year of this program.
Our work directly addresses both the dearth of
uniform data regarding the status of
endangered plants and the need for novel
approaches to conduct long-term monitoring.
The program is at a critical stage where the
momentum has grown and further financial
support is needed to achieve maximum
program results and volunteer involvement.
