Plant keying for April 2012 wildflower show.  Photo by Carol MattssonJoin us as we learn and practice methods of identifying the native plants of our region (aka keying).  From beginners to more advanced, there are challenges for all.  Bring in plant samples if you have some or just come and work with the materials provided.  We discuss the various plant books and practice keying with them.  Microscopes are also available.

We usually meet on the last Friday of each month, except for a Holiday schedule in November and December.

Location We meet at the Peninsula Conservation Center (PCC), 3921 E. Bayshore Road in Palo Alto
Directions to PCC: From Hwy. 101 take the San Antonio Rd. exit and head north. Take your next left onto East Bayshore, which will curve left then right. Take your next right onto Corporation Way and immediately left into the PCC parking lot. The meeting rooms are on the first floor.
