Recreation Hall, Russian Gulch State Park
Speaker: Dr. Peter Baye
With a coastal restoration partnership forming,
it’s time to learn more about the challenges
and rewards of habitat restoration. We invite
residents of Mendocino’s north coast to get
acquainted with Dr. Peter Baye, a dynamic and
articulate advocate for coastal wildlands.
Peter Baye is a botanist and plant ecologist
who specializes in coastal plant communities.
Since 1975, he has studied and worked on
conservation of coastal dunes and marshes
ranging from Great Britain, the Maritime
Provinces of Canada, New England, the
Great Lakes, and California.
Having retired from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service Endangered Species Program, Peter is
now an independent consultant. He lives in the
coastal hills of the Gualala River watershed
near Annapolis, where he is active with the
Friends of the Gualala River.
Our chapter is hosting this year’s event, which
is co-sponsored by the Mendocino Coast
Audubon Society, Mendocino Area Parks
Association and Mendocino Land Trust.

PRESIDENT’S CORNER
by Lori Hubbart
Rain, glorious rain, at last! We’ve already held
two chapter board meetings since the
beginning of the year, with the next one
scheduled for April 11. That will give us some
time to implement all the things we talked
about.
The February meeting included a discussion of
how to parcel out the tasks of coordinating our
annual plant sale. We want to make sure that
no volunteer will take on the entire,
overwhelming job that Jon Thompson did.
Diane Wickstrom has generously agreed to be
the plant sale coordinator, with lots of help from
the rest of us. This is a big step, as the plant
sale has blossomed into a community
institution. Please read the article on the plant
sale and think about volunteering in some way!
Meanwhile, after seven inches of rain my
Douglas irises have grown visibly. The birds
seem livelier, the frogs are chorusing, the little
white milk maids are in bloom, and it looks like
we may have a decent spring after all.

CONSERVATION NEWS –
by Lori Hubbart
Jackson Demonstration State Forest –
Last year, the Director of the California
Department of Forestry and Fire Protection
(CDF) in Sacramento decided to re-visit the
mission and activities at Jackson State Forest
(JDSF). CDF convened a panel made up of
local forestry professionals plus Kathy Bailey of
the Sierra Club and Vince Taylor of the
Campaign to Restore JDSF.
This panel, with the help of a moderator, was
charged with making management
recommendations that would be in keeping
with the realities of the 21st Century, allow
timber operations to take place, yet be
responsive to the environmental concerns of
the local community.
Their recommendations ended up being very
close to those made (but never implemented)
by a citizens’ advisory committee several years
ago.
Now the managers of JDSF have submitted a
plan to the State Board of Forestry which they
hope will satisfy local conservationists while
getting logging operations up and running
again.
The inside scoop is that the new plan is more
environmentally friendly than any previous
plans for JDSF, but is still “business as usual”
in some respects. It is not clear what happens
next, but if our chapter needs to write a letter
or testify at a public meeting, we will certainly
do so.
Garcia River Property – The Conservation
Fund will be giving a tour of its Garcia River
lands late in February, with another planned for
later in the spring. Since the managers of the
forest are now submitting Timber Harvest
Plans, representatives of the concerned public
need to see what is actually happening on the
ground.
The Conservation Fund recently purchased
several hundred acres of forested land in the
Albion area, which it plans to manage in a
similar manner to the Garcia River property.
The intent is to combine sustainable logging
with restoration and conservation. It sounds
good, but no one has really tried this for the
long term, on a large scale. It remains a grand
experiment, and an important one.
Legislation and Native Plants – Last year
there was a failed bill in the state legislature
that would have required Caltrans to landscape
its roadsides with native plants. The bill may
be re-introduced this year.
This sounds like a good thing, as long as they
are the right native plants. Native landscaping
would help to educate the public so people will
not assume that oleander and “freeway daisy”
are indigenous to California. On the other
hand, we don’t want people to conclude that
Ceanothus ‘Dark Star’ or bright orange
California poppies are native to the
Mendonoma coast.
5 March-April ‘07
In areas adjacent to wildlands, use of
non-local natives may be harmless, if
misleading. Certain plants, however, could
cause genetic blurring of species, reducing the
uniqueness of our local flora and the richness
of local ecosystems.
CNPS hopes to offer amendment language so
the bill would require use of local genetic
ecotypes, provide for expert review and
encourage Caltrans to cooperate with local
organizations to acquire the appropriate plant
materials.
With legislation like this being considered, local
efforts to start a restoration consortium are
very timely. Our coast’s cooperative
restoration project could become the model for
the rest of the state.

Field Tests of Genetically-
Engineered Turfgrass Blocked
Due to Inadequate
Environmental Review
From an article written 2/17/07 by Jennifer Kalt,
Conservation Chair, North Coast Chapter,
for an upcoming issue of Darlingtonia.
“In a decision broadly affecting field trials of
genetically engineered crops a federal district judge
ruled yesterday that the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) must halt approval of all new
field trials until more rigorous environmental
reviews are conducted. Citing potential threats to
the environment, Judge Harold Kennedy found in
favor of the International Center for Technology
Assessment, the Center for Food Safety and the
Klamath Siskiyou Wildlands Center that USDA's
past approvals of field trials of herbicide tolerant,
genetically engineered bentgrass were illegal."
- Joseph Mendelson, Center for Food Safety 2/6/07.
The suit was filed against the USDA and Scotts
Miracle Grow, Inc. because the USDA’s Animal
Plant Health and Inspection Service (APHIS)
allowed Scotts to conduct a series of open-air field
tests without any review of potential environmental
affects. Tests of “Roundup-ready” turfgrass were
conducted on over 2,000 acres at sites across the
U.S., beginning in 2002.
Environmental contamination from the GE creeping
bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) was discovered in
the Crooked River National Grassland near Bend,
Oregon. EPA researchers found multiple instances
in which pollen from GE-bentgrass traveled several
miles and transferred its traits to three native
bentgrass species via hybridization. Genetic
contamination of native species was found up to
3.8 kilometers from a 421-acre test plot managed
by the Oregon Department of Agriculture.
This non-native grass is naturalized in every county
in California, and open field trials of GE bentgrass
have the potential to hybridize with both non-native
and native bentgrass species. Several rare
bentgrass species occur in California, and open
field trials pose a threat to these rare species in
particular.
The Dorothy King Young Chapter (Lori Hubbart,
Conservation Chair) submitted comments in June
2005 regarding concerns that GE-bentgrass could
impact the rare Agrostis blasdalei along the
Mendocino coast. CNPS will continue to monitor
agency actions related to GE plants that could
impact native plants and vegetation. The vast
7 March-April ‘07
majority of corn and soybeans grown in the U.S.
are now genetically-engineered (“GE”).
These field-grown GE crops have been found to
pose threats to native plants (through hybridization
and changes to vegetation) and native pollinators
(which may be impacted by foraging on GE pollen).
A recent study found that 22 of the 25 most
important crop species are known to hybridize with
wild relatives (Wolfe and Blair 2007).
