Reorganized in October, 2015. Area includes Grand and San Juan Counties.

Many people in our group hold great wealth of knowledge and expertise with native plants, both growing wild and in cultivation. We look forward to an informative and productive future together!
Regular meetings will be held in Moab or Castle Valley.

Latest news: The newly reorganized Canyonlands Chapter held its first field trip and potluck on November 8th, 2015. This was the 2nd meeting of our embryonic group, taking place at Mary and “OB” O’Brien’s home in Castle Valley where they shared their success in replacing exotic cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) with native grasses on their property. A potluck followed at Diane and Scott Ackerman’s home, also in CV. We had a pretty good turnout, with 15 folks in attendance and lots of delicious and interesting food to share. New acquaintances were made and old ones renewed.
