Join Calflora’s Executive Director Cynthia Powell to discuss new Calflora tools for CNPS members. Calflora’s plant database hosts over two million plant occurrences, some of which come directly from our CNPS Chapter members. Cynthia will go over Calflora’s plant photo project, Planting Guide, population monitoring tools and email alerts, and speak more generally about the uses of Calflora for CNPS chapters. She would also like to know how Calflora can better serve our Chapter, and looks forward to answering our questions.
Members are encouraged to try out Calflora’s Planting Guide, at www.calflora.org/entry/palette.html, and bring your feedback to the talk.
The following Sunday, September 22, join Cynthia and our field trip chair Joerg Lohse for a rigorous and hands-on data collecting field trip at Edgewood Park and Natural Preserve. See details on page 7 in this newsletter’s field trip section.
After three years as Calflora’s GIS Project Manager, Cynthia Powell is now Calflora’s Executive Director. She graduated with her BA in Biology and her MS in GIS in 2010, forecasting Mokelumne River water supply based on MODIS remote sensing snow pack images. She’s been examining what was under that snow – plants – ever since. She coordinates all Calflora programs, research, outreach and advocacy, as well as fundraising and management.
