About us
The California Native Plant Society is a statewide non-profit organization of amateurs and professionals. Our goals are to increase understanding of California’s native flora and to preserve this rich natural heritage for future generations. The Yerba Buena Chapter encompasses San Francisco and northern San Mateo Counties and is named for the tiny fragrant mint Satureja douglasii found in this area.
Chapter Activities are as diverse as our membership and range from conservation and habitat restoration to native plant gardening, hiking and photography.

Buckeye Canyon BioBlitz
Location not specified yetBuckeye Canyon offers a habitat quite different from most of San Bruno Mountain. Excessive rainfall in the November and December of 2022 set the stage for a tragedy. Then, on December 31, 2022 an atmospheric river dumped over six inches of rain in a continuous 12-hour period and caused a horrific landslide that changed the geology of the canyon from top to bottom. Now— 3 years later— the canyon is healing itself, and with some outstanding stewardship it is bending to mostly native species. We’ll conduct a bioblitz to assess the plants that have repopulated the erosion event. Along the way we will discuss the ecology of erosion events in a California Coastal climate and review of the science of erosion events as described by the USGS and other scientists.
Bring your cellphone with the i-Nat application loaded, and a lunch or snacks and water and sunscreen.
