If you are up for exploring San Diego County's beautiful wild places and learning in depth details about the plant life, ecology, and conditions that make each trail special, you've found the right group! The San Diego Chapter of the California Native Plant Society hosts a wide range of field trips every year in various parts of San Diego, and even into Imperial, Orange, and Riverside Counties and northern Baja California on special occasions.
San Diego County hosts the most diversity of plant life and habitats of any county in the contiguous United States, in part because our Mediterranean climate promotes year round growth and in part because the County covers the ocean and beaches all the way up over high forested mountains into the low desert washes and dunes of Anza Borrego State Park. Of the known 2314 plant taxa growing wild in the County, 1573 are native species / subspecies. Over 220 of those are rare plants and of those, 26 are only found in San Diego County.
The California Native Plant Society is at the forefront of protecting California's endangered plant species and the critters that need them to survive. You are welcome if you like enjoyable days on the trail and good company, you are welcome if you are looking for a treasure hunt challenge, you are especially welcome if you a defender of our fragile environment and are looking to make a difference alongside other Chapter members in saving our imperiled habitats.

## Details
Join the Friends of Rose Creek to learn how you and your family can engage in Community Science and crowd source data for researchers around the globe.
This hands-on in-the-field-training will use iNaturalist and eBird to document the biodiversity of the Kendall-Frost Marsh.
We’ll spend 15 minutes reviewing why Community Science is critically important and then we will get to work outside documenting plants, bugs, and birds.
Enjoy our long summer evenings and contribute to biodiversity science.
Perfect for all ages. Each participant or small group should bring a smart phone or camera.
