The Escalante Chapter started in early 2004 and actively meets. For the chapter news and events, see the Chapter News section in the latest issue of the Sego Lily newsletter. Chapter members designed a Main Street beautification plan for the city of Escalante using native plants, and then planted and have since maintained those strip plantings.
