CNPS San Diego supports and shares the goals of restoration and education with the City of San Diego Open Space Division of Parks and Recreation and Environmental Protection. By working with the Open Space Rangers, we are able to ethically collect native plant seed from the open spaces for propagating new plants with local materials, & outreach and educational opportunities. By using CNPS principles, the seed is remanded back for non-profit purposes for restoration by the rangers and Friends of Rose Canyon.
Training will include plant identification, phenology evaluation, and mapping. We will collect species that are appropriate for the season and label them for cleaning. Skills learned can be built for job advancement or placement, fun and hobby, or contribution to the health of the Chapter, City, and Environment at home and abroad.
