Puerto Canyon Road Membership Meeting Wednesday, April 24, 2002, 7:30 p.m. Conference Center, University of California Botanical Garden Mycorrhizal interactions with native plants Speaker: Dr. Tom Bruns Mycorrhizae are symbiotic associations between fungi and the roots of higher plants. In their simplest forms these interactions involve a trade of sugars produced by the plant for mineral nutrients (for example, phosphorus and nitrogen) from the fungus. Most plants form these interactions, and many require them. Tom Bruns will review some of the fundamental aspects of mycorrhizal interactions and will include more detailed information from his recent work in California pinaceous plant communities and with non-photosynthetic plants. Dr. Bruns is a professor in the Department of Plant and Microbial Biology at the University of California at Berkeley. He received his PhD in Botany at the University of Michigan in 1987 and has been at Berkeley since that time. His research interests are centered on fungal ecology and evolution, and he has a special love for mycorrhizal fungi. East Bay Chapter CNPS membership meetings are free of charge and open to everyone. This month’s meeting will take place in the Conference Center of the University of California Botanical Garden on Centennial Drive, east of Memorial Stadium, above the main campus of the University of California at Berkeley. The Garden gate will open at 7:00 p.m.; the meeting begins at 7:30 p.m. Refreshments will be served after the meeting. CNPS books and other publications will be on display and available for purchase. Please contact Sue Rosenthal, 510-496- 6016 or rosacalifornica@earthlink.net, if you have any questions. Upcoming Program May 22, 2002 Deborah Rogers: Biological expedi- tion to Guadalupe and Cedros Islands Sue Rosenthal President’s Message Wildwood Creek in El Cerrito in Danger As the days get longer and the poppies push forward to welcome the sun, I too emerge from my winter doldrums with renewed energy and vigor. Time to think about sunscreen and camping trips, where has the rain fallen this year and what are the early wild- flower reports like? As I write this in early March, it looks like a dry year for southern California. The lack of rain will likely bring out only the most stalwart annuals and peren- nials into scattered bloom, unless we get a series of “March Miracle” rainstorms. The north coast is looking much better, with the Bay Area having an average year. A list of good places to visit locally this month might include a drive down Mines Road and Corral Hollow in the southern part of Alameda County and the north- ern part of Santa Clara County. I’ve made this trip several times thanks to generous fellow plant enthusi- asts, and always seem to find something of note in April and May. There are not many places to stop, but if you are a bit adventurous and very careful, there are roadside areas with fascinating wildflowers that are little more than a blur going by in a car. One particular spot that comes to mind on the east side of Mt. Hamilton is a wonderful shale slope that is a mosaic of pink gypsum spring beauty [Claytonia gypsophilum) , red canyon larkspur ( Delphinium nudicaule) , and purple sickle-leaf onion [Allium falctfolium) . Since I recently acquired a digital cam- era, I’m itching to visit this area again to document what I’ve seen and share it with others. Other opportunities to take advantage of this month include “April on the Mountain” hikes at Mt. Diablo hosted by the Mount Diablo Interpretive Association (www.mdia.org), or perhaps visiting the Briones Crest and Spengler Trails at Briones Regional Park. It’s also a great time to visit our local botanical gardens to see plants in bloom from all over the state. Spring has sprung, and I hope you can enjoy the riches of our backyard! I invite members to contact me with questions or sug- gestions regarding chapter activities at any time at tony-morosco@calflora.org. Tony Morosco And this our life, exempt from public haunt, Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, Sermons in stones, and good in everything. Shakespeare, As You Like It A pristine, free-flowing creek, called Wildwood Creek by some, is in danger of being destroyed. A developer who plans to build 14 homes at the site also plans to fill in a portion of the creek and remove 109 trees on the property. Coast live oak, coffee beriy, monkey flower and other native plant species grow on the banks. When I visited the creek a few weeks ago, I saw deer, squirrels, juncos, chickadees and towhees, all within the first 5 minutes I was there. Destruction of the creek’s riparian habitat would eliminate a wildlife corridor. The proposed development’s final EIR was certified in 1995, but the plans for the development have changed since then. To show your support for Wildwood Creek, I encour- age you to attend the Planning Commission meeting on Wednesday, April 3, at 7:30, at the El Cerrito Community Center on Moeser where the development will be discussed. Letters are also crucial. Address your letter to Dennis Carrington, Planning Manager, and Ms. Regina Adams, Associate Planning Manager, City of El Cerrito, 10890 San Pablo Avenue, El Cerrito, CA 94530.

The lawsuit in question was filed on February 19, 2002 by three San Joaquin Valley based groups against the Regents of the University of California, charging failure to comply with the California Envi- ronmental Quality Act; the segmentation of project components; and piece mealing of the review process. Also named on the suit are Merced County, the Virginia Smith Trust, and the Merced Irrigation District. The project referred to is described in the State CNPS resolution below. Since the resolution was passed, the original plan has been significantly modified, but some vernal pool area is still slated for destruction. For further information see www.vernalpools.org. Resolution of CNPS (the state organization) con- cerning the placement of a University of Califor- nia Campus at Lake Yosemite, Merced County: 3 UC VerSUS Vernal Pools continued from page 3 1 . CNPS supports expansion of the University of California system to meet increasing student enroll- ment needs and would support the development of a tenth campus on an environmentally suitable site in the Merced area, or elsewhere in the San Joaquin Valley. 2. CNPS opposes use of the proposed Lake Yosemite site for the campus and its ancillary community as it will have major unmitigatable impacts on endangered species, unique natural landscapes, and important wetland habitats through destruction, disturbance and fragmentation. 3. CNPS therefore favors constructing the 10th UC campus on another site that would minimize environ- mental consequences and limit urban sprawl, while providing long-term economic and natural heritage benefits for the local residents. CNPS believes the endangered species and wetland impacts associated with development of the Lake Yosemite site would result in regulatory and legal burdens that will delay or prevent construction of the campus. to Rose Peak, a rare chance to take in one of the richest floras in the East Bay. Meet at 9:00 a.m. in the parking lot for Sunol Re- gional Park Headquarters. Please note: As soon as possible, participants need to contact Janet Gawthrop at (510) 654-3066 or _janetg24@excite.com, in order to list their names on the permit and arrange vehicular access. Because access to Rose Peak is restricted, we must specify the number of participants in order to comply with the permit for day use in the Ohlone Wilderness. Bring water, lunch, sunscreen, and all other necessities for a day hike. Saturday, May 1 1 . Driving tour of Mines Road/Del Puerto Canyon Road. With all the rain, this should be a good year on Mines Road. We will meet at 10:00 a.m. at the Dublin/ Pleasanton Bart Station Parking Lot, organize into car pools, and drive to Mines Road (which is at the south end of Livermore). We will stop numerous times on Mines Road and Del Puerto Canyon Road. We will return to the meeting point at approximately 5:00 p.m. Bring lunch and something to drink. Be warned that this is a tick area. 4. CNPS commends the University of California’s intent to establish an Institute for the study of the Sierra Nevada’s natural history, but believes there is a fundamental contradiction in establishing it at the Lake Yosemite site. Therefore CNPS urges the Univer- sity of California to acquire the Lake Yosemite site as part of its Natural Reserve System so that its vernal pools and their associated plants and animals may be studied by future University of California students. This region of eastern Alameda County, northeastern Santa Clara County, and western Stanislaus County has a large number of wildflowers and shrubs, among them Brewer’s clarkia, thommints, and blazing stars. Contact David Margolies (510-654-0283, email dm@franz.com) to sign up for the trip. Maximum number is 20. Janet Gawthrop Conservation Committee Plant Sale Activities Field Trips Sunday, April 2 1 . Black Diamond Mines Regional Park. Joe Willingham will lead a half-day hike, with an additional section for the more energetic. Take Highway 4 east from most of the Bay Area and look for the Somersville Road exit in the vicinity of Antioch. Go south on Somersville Road and stay in the left lane past Buchanan Road. At 1.5 miles from the Somersville exit on the odometer, follow Somersville Road (straight ahead, while the main road bends sharp left and away). Start looking for the sign for Black Diamond Mines Regional Park, and the entrance kiosk and park headquarters will be at 2.6 miles. At 0.9 miles past the park entrance, turn into the large parking lot on the right, where the group will meet at 10:00 a.m. Bring water and lunch. Saturday, April 27. Rose Peak, Ohlone Regional Wilderness. Dianne Lake will lead a one-day field trip Propagation and Potting Sessions Tuesdays: April 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Merritt College, Oakland Landscape Horticulture Parking fee: 50 cents Rain does not cancel. Come for all or part of the sessions. No experience is necessary. Bring a bag lunch for the noon break. For information call 925-376-4095. The East Bay Chapter Annual Plant Sale will be held on October 4-5, Saturday and Sunday at Merritt College. Plant Sale Committee 4 Native Here Nursery April 5, 12, 19, 26 (Fridays): Native Here Nursery open 9-noon April 6, 13, 20, 27 (Saturdays): Native Here Nursery open 10-1 April 30, Tuesday: Seed collection walk, 9 a.m. from Native Here. May 3, 10, 17, 24, 31 (Fridays): Native Here Nursery open 9-noon May 4, 11, 18, 25 (Saturdays): Native Here Nursery open 10-1 May 7, 14, 21, 28 (Tuesdays): Seed collection walks, leave Native Here 9 a.m. Some native bulbs will be blooming in the nursery in April. Purchase to enjoy in the container this year, hold dry over the summer and plant the bulbs in fall. It is a bit late for planting, so spring should be a slow sales period. It is the time for getting those little seedlings from the 200 1 seed collections moving along on their way to planting-out size. There are plants for contracts that need growing and attention, too. I’m not much of a telephone person and find it hard to find the time to return calls, so if you want to volunteer, please just show up at the times posted. You will be welcomed, and Margot or I will immedi- ately put you to work! The nursery is in Tilden Park across from the entrance to the Golf Course, 101 Golf Course Drive, Berkeley 94708. April is an ideal time to place orders for plants for the fall of 2003. Seed collection begins at the end of April (walk on April 30 meets at the entrance to Native Here at 9 a.m. - again, just show up) and continues through the fall. If orders are placed later in the year, it may not be possible to find the correct seeds until 2003, so think ahead! Orders may be placed by phone 510/549-0211, FAX 510/525-9076 or e-mail charlid@pacbell . net. Destinations for the Tuesday seed walks are not announced beforehand. Usually the walks end about 12:30 or 1:00 p.m. Some walks take longer, but we adjust according to the time constraints of the par- ticipants and the locales where ripe seeds can be expected. Mitchell Canyon Bunchgrass Restoration Anyone willing to mow to control star thistle, annual grasses, etc. please contact Charli Danielsen, charlid@pacbell.net, in order to arrange to “train” on the mower, the areas to be mowed, and to work out a schedule with the State Parks. This ten-year-old project is in a light maintenance stage requiring only mowing and seed distribution. Short bursts of intense activity by a few people will continue the progress of this restoration. Charli Danielsen Native Plant Restoration Team Saturday, April 6, 10 a.m. Native Here work party and planning session — bring your ideas for upcom- ing work party sites, events, etc. Meet at Native Here Nursery, 101 Golf Course Drive (across from the Golf Course) in Tilden Park. Saturday, May 4. Berkeley Waterfront with Susan Schwartz and the Friends of Five Creeks. Meet at 10 a.m. behind the Seabreeze Market, at the foot of University Avenue, just west of 1-80. Saturday, June 1. Skyline Serpentine Prairie. Bring your favorite gloves or tools; we also have such to share. Call 510/840-9367 if rain is falling for a recorded update on the morning of the event. The April 19 Botany Lunch at the Regional Parks Botanic Garden will host Charli Danielsen talking about the Vegetation Management Almanac. The Almanac is available from the Environmental Educa- tion Center in Tilden Park. They do take phone orders. There will be some classes this spring (dates yet to be determined). Watch for future notices, as some may be open to the public. The classes will be in the field using the decision making processes outlined in the manual.

Berkeley will lecture on “Emergent Forest Diseases in Cali- fornia: Real or Potential Threat to California Biodiversity?” Saturday, April 27, 9;00 a.m.-12 p.m. at the Visitor Center of the Bay Regional Parks Botanic Garden. Course on Water Chemistry of Creeks and Ponds. $25.00 members/$30.00 nonmembers. Come and explore the hidden ingredients of ponds and creeks in the Garden: the salts and the minerals, the dissolved gases, the pH, and more. The composi- tion of our water sources determines how well water plants can grow in them, on them, or near them. After an introduction to water chemistry (no previous chemistry knowledge required) we’ll head out in groups to water bodies in the Garden, equipped with kits and test strips. We’ll reconvene later back at the classroom to pool our findings, and to discuss and evaluate our water analyses. U.C.
