At the Univer- sity of California-Berkeley she earned a Bachelor’s de- gree and PhD in botany. After her schooling, Dr. Reeve began a lifetime of teaching in both formal and informal settings. At one time, board meetings of our CNPS Chapter were a veri- table alumni gathering of Marian’s former students. A founding member of CNPS, Marian served the East Bay Chapter (earlier called the San Francisco Bay Chapter) in almost every capacity. Her special interest was conservation, and she tenaciously brought plant issues to almost every land and resource agency in our area. Her efforts ranged from overall Sunday, May 18, 2:00 pm, Pioneer Tree Trail, Samuel Taylor State Park Saturday, May 24, 10 am, Mount Diablo State Park, North peak trail Membership Activities see page 5 Sunday, May 4, Bay Area, Bringing Back the Natives Garden Tour, Contact Janice Bray, janicebray@mindspring.com Sunday, June 8, Heritage Day, Walnut Creek, Borgus Ranch.

Her pointed but courteous style was legendary. She demonstrated that a tough conservation outlook is not incompatible with rea- soned, fact-based positions. While serving as San Francisco Bay Chapter president in 1983-84, Marian successfully guided the Chapter in carrying out a lawsuit that prevented San Mateo County from building a golf course at Edgewood Park. Among her many other contributions to CNPS — workshops, field trips, programs, writings— a specialty was the annual field trip to Huckleberry Preserve, which she first co-led with Paul Covel and led many times after Paul’s death. Marian was named a Fellow of the California Native Plant Society in 1992. Later, she served as a member of the Fellows Commit- tee. David Bigham, also a member of the committee, remembers Marian as demonstrating “absolute pragmatism, and absolute humanity”. continued on page 2 MARIAN REEVE continued from page 1 After their retirements, she and her husband Roger traveled exten- sively, pursuing their mutual interests in plants, birds and photog- raphy. She loved to cook, garden and attend opera and theater. Marian is survived by four sons, ten grandchildren and seven great grandchildren.

Speaker: Matteo Garbelotto Wednesday, May 28, 2008, 7:30 pm Location: Conference Center, Univer- sity of California Botanical Garden at Berkeley (directions below) Exotic diseases like Sudden Oak Death are among the most destruc- tive forces responsible for major changes in native plant communities. Although an initial flurry of media attention and public interest several years ago brought Sudden Oak Death into the limelight, it has all but disappeared from the news and the general public consciousness of late. But Phytophthora ramorum, the pathogen responsible for the disease, continues to spread in northern California, including the East Bay, and the count of susceptible plant species now numbers in the dozens. Fortunately, research on the disease and the pathogen has also been expanding, led by scientists like this month’s speaker, Mat- teo Garbelotto. Matteo’s presentation will focus on examples of exotic forest dis- eases and explain how they were introduced and how they may be spreading. In particular he will present the latest published data showing where Sudden Oak Death was first introduced in California, how it has been spreading, and what the natural poten- tial spread of this scary pathogen is likely to be. Answering these questions required dedicated work by many researchers at several universities and included sequencing the entire pathogen genome. Alarming as the pathogen and the disease are, the research and its findings are fascinating. Those who have attended Matteo’s pre- sentations in the past know he is a dynamic speaker and a brilliant researcher who always provides ample reason for hope. 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 and west of the Lawrence Hall of Science, above the main campus of the Univer- sity of California in Berkeley. The Garden gate will open at 7:00 pm; the meeting begins at 7:30 pm. Refreshments will be served after the meeting.

Late spring and summer flowering perennials include Ranunculus californicus from a variety of locales, Wyethia angustifolia, Triteleia laxa, Monardella villosa, and Fragaria vesca. This year osoberry and hazel seeds germinated well, so those shrubs are in good supply. There is always an extensive supply of oaks and buckeyes. This year willows are also numerous and varied. The nursery is open from 9-noon on Fridays and 10-1 on Saturdays (but see below for some extended hours). The nursery is across from Tilden Park Golf Course, at 101 Golf Course Drive in Tilden Park. Native Here and Bringing Back the Natives Garden Tour: Hours will be extended on Saturday, May 3 and Saturday, May 10 until 5 pm to accommodate interest generated by Bringing Back the Natives Garden Tour. Books will be featured, as well as our huge selection of local native plants. The nursery will be closed Sunday, May 4th, the day of the tour, so that our volunteers may attend the gardens on the tour. Volunteer Opportunities: As well as regular open hours on Fri- days and Saturdays, volunteers are encouraged to join in the fun of growing natives on Tuesday afternoons from 1-5 pm. Plants require potting up, weeding, etc. Watering 2/3 of an acre of native plants through the summer requires many hands and minds. If you are interested in either a regular 2-4 hour stint, or to be available to substitute for regular waterers, please contact Charli nativehere@ ebcnps.org or call Delia, 510 527-3912 to arrange a time for ori- entation. Our practices of hand watering, elevating the plants off the ground and having a chip covering on the paths have been cited BIOBLITZ AT MOUNT DIABLO Save Mount Diablo is inviting Bay Area expert scientists and naturalists to participate in our 2008 BioBlitz, taking place May 16 and 17 at our Mangini Ranch property and Lime Ridge Open Space in Concord/Walnut Creek. The BioBlitz will survey, identify and categorize as many plant and animal species as we can find during a 24-hour period. The event will begin at 4p.m. on Friday, May 16 and conclude at 4p.m. on Saturday, May 17. What is a bioblitz? A BioBlitz brings together scientists, naturalists and volunteers to document biodiversity present in our community. Our BioBlitz 2008 will be a unique opportunity to explore, discover, educate and investigate the tremendous amount of biodiversity that surrounds us in our local environment. It also helps us understand and take better care of our local flora and fauna. BioBlitz 2008 - Mangini Ranch, Lime Ridge Open Space Save Mount Diablo acquired the Mangini Ranch property in Janu- ary of 2007. It is a strategic and historic 208-acre property located on the north side of Mount Diablo near the city of Concord between Lime Ridge Open Space and Mount Diablo State Park. The property has many habitats and supports rich plant and animal life, includ- ing several special status species. as good practices which have kept the plants at the nursery free of pathogens which are nearby in the park. The nursery benefited from a St Mary’s College volunteer assign- ment: Lisa Bachtold put in her 20 required hours during her Easter Break, potting 1082 seedlings into 4” pots. She enjoyed the work so much she hopes to return as a regular volunteer in the future. Seed Collection: Tuesday morning seed collection starts May 6th. Meet across from the entrance to Native Here at the end of the golf course parking lot. These are planned to be short trips ending by 1 pm, usually led by Charli Danielsen. Gregg Weber will be leading longer trips some Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Check the web site www.ebcnps.org/seedtrips.html for dates, locations and estimated duration, or phone Gregg at 510-223-3310 for more information. Charli Danielsen A Native Here young volunteer brings his own equipment. MAY 16, 17 We need your help! This year, we are also inviting the public to participate in the event, so this will be a wonderful opportunity to educate citizens about the ecology of this local treasure. We need experts to record species and naturalists to lead teams of volunteers (both adults and children) to interpret natural history, count species and present their findings on the biodiversity within the study area. The data gathered will provide essential information for Save Mount Diablo’s conservation efforts at Mangini Ranch and Lime Ridge. Experts can participate for the entire 24 hours or sign up for specific time slots. If you like, you can camp at Mangini Ranch overnight on May 16 to record nocturnal species. Experts can register now by filling out the registration form available on our website at http://www.savemountdiablo.org/BioBlitz_2008.htm. Public registration opens April 15, 2008.

MEMBERSHIP While renewing my membership online http://cnps.org/ this past month I was pleasantly surprised by being able to select “recurring donation” as an option. The term “recurring donation” confused me for a second, then I was thanked for becoming a member, so that assured me I did it right. Perhaps this process will help those of us who just forget to renew and assure our safe and timely delivery of the Bay Leaf, Fremontia, & the Bulletin. Have any questions about upcoming events?

Volunteers such as Tom and Jane Kelley have been leading efforts to remove large stands of French broom ( Genista monspessulana) along the Richmond shoreline. Janet Gawthrop has been not only leading botanizing trips at Huckleberry Botanical Preserve, but has also been leading work parties there to pull invasive plant species such as Cape ivy (Delairea odorata), Forget-me- not (Myosotis sylvatica) and periwinkle ( Vinca major). Barbara Feitner has been leading the charge against a newly colonizing invasive plant, stinkwort (Dittrichia graveolens). While members have been making great strides in the field, the chapter has also been working behind the scenes to estab- lish a more formalized partnership with the East Bay Regional Park District. The chapter has met with staff at the Park Dis- trict to discuss setting up restoration projects at four park units ACTIVITIES OF OTHERS Pleasant Hill Adult Education Center Garden Various gardening groups and other interested volunteers and neighbors are teaming up with the City of Pleasant Hill and the Contra Costa Central Sanitary District to create a beautiful and water-conserving garden at the Pleasant Hill Adult Education Center on Santa Barbara Road, next to the Pleasant Hill Middle School. We would very much appreciate if you select one or more of these work party days to help us out at the garden. All work times are 2 pm to 6 pm. May 2, 9, 30, June 6 (Fridays) May 18, June 8 (Sundays) For more information email: phecgarden@prodigy.net or phone Monika Olsen, Teacher: 925- 937-1530. Counting endangered plants at Antioch Dunes In May, the Antioch Dunes National Wildlife Refuge will be con- ducting a plant survey of one of its two endangered plants, the Antioch Dunes evening primrose. It’s a great opportunity to visit a special place that is not open to the public. Please feel free to share this information with others who might be interested. Antioch Dunes evening primrose surveys will be on Wednesday and Thursday., May 14-15, from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm. Who? USFWS staff and volunteers who love to get out of the of- fice/house and enjoy nature. What to wear/bring? Long pants (there can be scratchy plants and stickers), layered clothing, sturdy walking shoes, lunch and water, that the chapter would visit at least three times per year in order to build ecological and social momentum at these sites. Partnering with the East Bay Regional Park District presents an opportunity to contribute to the management and steward- ship of botanically valuable sites throughout the geographic range of the Chapter, add capacity to the Park District, and leverage the Park District's operational resources. The Serpentine Prairie, Huckleberry Botanic Regional Pre- serve, the Richmond shoreline (including Pt. Isabel and Miller Knox), and Carquinez Strait Regional Shoreline were selected as the chapter's four sites. The chapter's next step is to meet to plan out and schedule work at these sites. Our next meeting will take place 7:30 pm, Tuesday May 20th at the home of Mike Perlmutter, 486 63rd St. A light dinner will be served.
