Native Plant Hikes

January 11, 2017

Las Placitas Association hosted two native plant hikes led by Michael Crofoot in 2016 and will be following up with a lecture in early 2017. For those of you who do not know Michael Crofoot, he is a local plant expert who moved here twenty years ago. He has worked in the botany and soil microbiology fields for many years and loves our enchanting northern Sandia foothills. He has compiled a 160-plant species Herbarium that LPA plans to publish in some form in 2017.

You are not only helping us with the important projects we take on each year, you will get something special too:
  • Invitations to hikes and events before they are advertised to the public
  • Quarterly E-publications about the plants, animals, geology and history of the Placitas area.
  • Invitation to annual membership events (picnics and other gatherings)
The hope of the future lies not in curbing the influence of human occupancy – it is already too late for that – but in creating a better understanding of the extent of that influence and a new ethic for its governance.
