July 2022 - After a multi-year hiatus, the San Francisco Bay Area Network’s Early Detection News is back, and it’s grown! Now called Botany News, it’ll be sharing the achievements of the Plant Community Monitoring (PCM) crew as well as the Invasive Species Early Detection (ISED) crew. Both work to better understand trends in plant communities within the San Francisco Bay Area national parks.

In the Spring 2022 issue, you’ll find:

  • Botany team bios! Get to know crew leads Katherine Stratton and Brett Stormoen, interns Alexandria Knoell and Yvonne Ng, and Botanist Lisa Schomaker;
  • Spring ISED and PCM survey highlights from Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Pinnacles National Park, and Point Reyes National Seashore;
  • Noteworthy early detections, including capeweed and Tocalote in the Marin Headlands; plus
  • A native species spotlight on yerba Buena!
