Leader: Charmane Mitchell 
Location: Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 2000 Jackson Street, Port Orford

Ms. McKnight will speak about the Coastal Species Conservation Collaborative, a workgroup of state and federal agencies, non-governmental organizations (including NPSO’s Rare and Endangered Committee), and researchers to focus on conservation of rare coastal species in northern CA and southern OR. The group has identified thirty-eight species of conservation need. Of the thirty-eight species, twenty-seven are plants. Many of these plants have not been surveyed in decades, and we therefore have very little information on the status of these species, the status of populations, what conservation issues they face, and other challenges. She will be leading efforts to survey for many of these species this field season and would love to find some folks (no botany experience needed) to help conduct surveys and learn about coastal species conservation.
