President's Message
Mike McKeag, chair of a committee/task force I appointed a year ago to develop a vision for NPSO, submitted a final report to the Board at the annual meeting. I felt that the contents of this report should be shared with the members. It is too long for one issue of the Bulletin, so I will report parts of it here and in the next few issues. The essence of the report is contained in a section Mike labeled Meta Vision. The following is taken from Mike's report.
META-VISION: The process of assembling a vision statement prepared me for an alternate vision of the place vision statements, formal goals, and clearly defined objectives have in an organization like NPSO.
In the corporate world we employ mission statements, goals and objectives routinely to good effect. NPSO, however, is not a workplace. NPSO is a voluntary association of individuals who share a common interest in native plants. NPSO is something we contribute effort to in our spare time. We do so for the intrinsic rewards of the activity. These rewards are our only compensation. Every contribution to NPSO, either of time or money, is a gift freely given. We offer whatever we are moved to offer whenever we happen to be moved to do so. The cumulative effect of those gifts is NPSO. Mission statements, goals and objectives, no matter how masterfully crafted, will in the end prove irrelevant. They will never determine which gifts are given, who gives them or when.
I feel that there is significant insight in this statement of the meta-vision and would be interested in what thought members have on this subject. I still feel that planning and setting goals is a good objective and will help focus the efforts of the Society in its continuing growth.
The Board approved a committee to be called Friends of the Oregon Flora. We established this committee to be a fund raising group to support the Oregon Flora. I feel this is one of the most important tasks we have ever undertaken and I urge all members to do whatever they can to help make this a successful venture.
NPSO Names First Fellows
The Native Plant Society of Oregon inaugurated its Fellows Program at the annual meeting in Mosier, May 9, 1998. Ruth Hansen, Keith Chamberlain and John Robotham were honored as the first members of the Fellows for their outstanding contributions to the Society.
Keith Chamberlain founded the Mid-Columbia Chapter of NPSO and was the driving force that made it successful. He started the well-known Mosier flower show and led field trips for other chapters visiting the Columbia River Gorge. He has a comprehensive knowledge of the plants of the Gorge. More important, he is willing to share this knowledge with anyone.
Ruth Hansen is another pioneer of NPSO. She contributed to many organizations and was vital to their development -- as, for example, the Berry Garden and the American Rhododendron Society. She was also active in the Portland Garden Club and was responsible for the landscape design we see at Timberline Lodge. In 1990, she received the Horticultural award from the Garden Clubs of America. Ruth joined NPSO in 1970 and held many state level offices. Her vision resulted in NPSO becoming a statewide organization with local chapters.
John Robotham has been editor of the NPSO Bulletin for a number of years and has brought it to a high level of excellence. He reminds us to get information important to members to him so he can include it in the Bulletin in timely fashion. He has patience and forbearance far beyond the call of duty. We salute these contributors to the success of NPSO.
Mike Fahey, NPSO President

Mt. Pisgah Arboretum Wildflower Festival
Despite rainy weather, the annual Festival again presented a beautiful display of our region's wildflowers which was viewed by about 1,500 people. Thirty-four plant species were new to the display this year. NPSO members, Arboretum and community volunteers, and over 40 Lane Community College botany students participated in the set-up, organization and take-down of the display. Their assistance was invaluable and much appreciated. Thanks to a Marketing grant, all the LCC participants and attendees were given LCC Botany t-shirts or buttons to wear. The stunning delphinium illustrations for t-shirts, buttons and Botany brochures were done by LCC Botany alumna and NPSO member Judith Manning.
Two additional highlights were also due to this year's Botany students. All the poster projects from students in BI 103: Wildflowers of Oregon, were on display, and a noon sing-along featured performing artist Emily Fox (current Botany student) with a back-up Botany student chorus singing "The Four Important Parts of a Flower," written by former NPSO president Herm Fritz, and passed on to me by Mike Fahey. The posters elicited compliments throughout the Festival and I received several e-mail messages of appreciation about them.
NPSO members Freeman Rowe, Dave Wagner, Bruce Newhouse, John Koenig and I sat at the "experts" table answering questions about every aspect of plant identification and natural history. Unfortunately, Rhoda Love was ill that day but assisted in the set-up and take-down The wildflower displays at these Festivals are among the best study opportunities offered to our students and an excellent community educational program. The strong working partnership among LCC, the Native Plant Society of Oregon and the Mt. Pisgah Arboretum makes it all possible.

Magazine Review
Wildflower is a magazine published quarterly by the Canadian Wildflower Society. It is dedicated to the study, conservation, restoration and cultivation of North America's native flora. Field editors represent all of North America, Arthur Kruckeberg being the field editor for the Pacific Northwest.
Among articles in a recent issue were selections on weeds, a description of a special treatment developed to maintain viability of hydrophilic seeds (susceptible to losing viability if dried), restoration of a riparian habitat, two stories about artists who work on producing pictures of plant material, along with articles on many more topics.
The magazine also reviews new books as a regular feature and contains a list of seed available through a seed exchange sponsored by the Canadian Wildflower Society. Subscriptions may be obtained from: Wildflower, Box 336, Postal Station F, Toronto, ON Canada M4K2L7 The rate is $30 per year in U.S. funds. E-mail contact is: ann.melvin@sympatico.ca

Whole Town Goes Native
When the town of Seaside, Florida was developed, 17 years ago, front lawns were barred. Only native plants were to be allowed. Live oaks, Southern magnolias and their associated plants are now the only plants to be seen. If an exotic has crept in it hasn't been noticed. [Reported in The New York Times, 6/4/98, B12]
NPSO Outreach Opportunity
Volunteers Needed for EFO
Public outreach and education are central to NPSO's continuing success. Every autumn, members of the Environmental Federation of Oregon (EFO), including myself and other members of NPSO, meet with thousands of Oregonians to encourage support for our programs through workplace fundraising campaigns. Volunteer speakers are needed to make brief presentations about EFO in general, and NPSO in particular, to employees at public and private workplaces throughout Oregon. It is through these employee contributions that NPSO is able to fund many of our internship and research activities.
EFO's fall campaign is an invaluable opportunity for NPSO to connect with a wide audience of Oregonians. If your workplace already includes EFO in its charitable fund drive, you may be able to make a presentation for us without even having to leave work.
EFO provides speaker training, materials and support. If you would like to help EFO, and thereby NPSO, with this public outreach campaign, call or e-mail me at ( policy) (shane@spiritone.com) for information. If EFO isn't already a part of your workplace's giving program, and you would like to help introduce that option to your co-workers, please call Sarah Sameh at EFO, ( policy), and tell her NPSO sent you.
Shane Latimer, EFO Liaison
