The central interior coast range in San Benito and Fresno Counties includes many fascinating and unusual plant communities, including those found on Monocline Ridge, Panoche and Tumey Hills, Griswold Hills, Clear Creek, and Pinnacles National Park. Amelia Ryan, most recently an ecologist with Point Reyes National Seashore, will share her stunning photographs of these areas and talk about their unique flora. Amelia will then briefly touch on some of the projects she’ll be working on at her new position in Pinnacles National Park.
