Join field botanist and Redbud Vice President Shane Hanofee as he walks us through the major plant families and “clades” of Nevada and Placer Counties.
He’ll take us through the characteristics of a selection of the most common and species–rich families in the area, highlighting patterns that will help you recognize the plant life on your hikes and in your
backyard. Members of these few families comprise the majority of the plant life here, so you’ll walk away being able to associate most plants you see with their family.
Shane Hanofee is a self–taught botanist who specializes in the flora of Nevada and Placer Counties. He wears many hats for the Redbud Chapter of the California Native Plant Society serving as Vice President, Web Editor, and Chapter Council Delegate. He is the Plant Sale Committee co–chair as well as running Redbud’s social media presence. He has produced a series of virtual hikes and other videos for Redbud in 2020 which can be found on the chapter YouTube channel. He works as a Botany Technician in Northern California and grows natives at his home nursery for the Redbud Fall Plant Sale. He lives in Grass Valley with his wife Ashley and their dog, Camus and two cats, Kafka and Bertie.
This is the second of two Zoom member meetings related to chapter officer elections. At this meeting, we’ll vote for chapter officers. Join our virtual meeting and help us meet the quorum needed for elections. Non–members are welcome to attend, but only members can vote in the elections.
