San Mateo coast runs along the Pacific Ocean for over 60 miles and has acres of public land with over 25 parks and state beaches. Until now much of the flora has not been documented, but for the past two years, Toni Corelli and two state park volunteers have surveyed these public lands and identified over 600 different species of plants.
This presentation will highlight the plants and plant communities west of Highway 1 and also show how volunteers, in collaboration with State Parks, are helping to restore native habitat to the San Mateo coast.
A new book the "Plants and Plant Communities of the San Mateo Coast" will be on display and for sale. Following the presentation, there will be a guided walk in the Native Plant Garden, weather permitting.
Toni Corelli is a botanist and author of several books on the local flora of San Mateo and Santa Clara County. She will be joined by co-authors and State Park volunteers, Avis Boutell and Nancy Frost.
