AZ Native Plant Society June 2007 Events
AZNPS Program Meeting, Tuesday, June 19, NAU Biological Sciences Building, Room 313, 7 p.m.: Ken Morrow, AZNPS board member, will present, "Arizona's Champion Trees: Honoring and Protecting the State's Largest Trees." Ken has been involved for many years in locating, registering and protecting Arizona's 120 species and varieties of old growth native trees. Several of these giants live in Northern Arizona. Those of you familiar with James Redfield's, "Celestine Prophecy" and his "Tenth Insight" have a reverence for the significance of old growth trees. The research of Richard Preston resulting in his book, "The Wild Trees: A Story of Passion and Daring," reveals the giant California Sequoias have the ability to create their own worlds and unique habitats. Come, see and be awed.
Field Trip, Sunday, June 24; meet to carpool at AZ State Credit Union parking lot, corner of Butler and Beaver, 10 a.m. "Exploring the World of Northern Arizona's Champion Trees" A trip, led by Ken Morrow and research colleague, David Thornburg, will bring us to the sites of giant trees and detail the history and measurements of each specimen. Location will be in the Cottonwood/Verde Valley area. We expect a full day trip so bring lunch, water, wear sun protection and sturdy walking shoes.
