(see message below and attached project summary and pictures of the garden from a few days ago.) We now are in the process of measuring their size as they come into flower, and hundreds are coming into flower per week, making it hard to keep up (a good problem to have!). <br></div><div><br></div><div>If you or anyone you know might like to visit the garden and have a spare day to help measure plants, please write to our project manager, Xitlaly Gomex (Cc'd), and she will help organize getting you there to the garden. We have crews heading up several times per week from Merced or driving down from Wawona. Faculty, if you have any undergrad. workers you could spare for a day here or there, we're happy to reciprocate by having our crew help you with whatever you might need help with later this summer. Please forward this to anyone who you think might be interested. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Hope you're having a great summer!</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Jay <br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">---------- Forwarded message ---------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername" dir="auto">Jason Sexton</b> <span dir="auto"><<a href="mailto:jsexton2@ucmerced.edu" target="_blank">jsexton2@ucmerced.edu</a>></span><br>Date: Sun, Jun 4, 2023 at 2:49 PM<br>Subject: We're planting those scarlet monkeyflowers in case you, or someone you know, wants to check it ou<br>To: Joy Baccei <<a href="mailto:jbaccei@ucmerced.edu" target="_blank">jbaccei@ucmerced.edu</a>>, Jesse Chakrin <<a href="mailto:jchakrin@ucmerced.edu" target="_blank">jchakrin@ucmerced.edu</a>>, Jessica Malisch <<a href="mailto:jmalisch@ucmerced.edu" target="_blank">jmalisch@ucmerced.edu</a>>, Breeanne Jackson <<a href="mailto:bjackson10@ucmerced.edu" target="_blank">bjackson10@ucmerced.edu</a>>, Lynn Breithaupt <<a href="mailto:lbreithaupt@csustan.edu" target="_blank">lbreithaupt@csustan.edu</a>>, Sexton Lab Members <<a href="mailto:sextonlab@lists.ucmerced.edu" target="_blank">sextonlab@lists.ucmerced.edu</a>>, <<a href="mailto:sextonlabmeeting@lists.ucmerced.edu" target="_blank">sextonlabmeeting@lists.ucmerced.edu</a>>, Intermountain <<a href="mailto:bonnie@intermountainnursery.com" target="_blank">bonnie@intermountainnursery.com</a>>, Chris Swarth <<a href="mailto:cswarth10@gmail.com" target="_blank">cswarth10@gmail.com</a>>, Ezequiel Carlos <<a href="mailto:ecarlos3@ucmerced.edu" target="_blank">ecarlos3@ucmerced.edu</a>><br></div><br><br><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Everyone,</div><div><br></div><div>I've mentioned to you here and there over the past year about how we're setting up a common garden for scarlet monkeyflowers just south of Yosemite NP.

help plug and/or measure some plants in that garden, please let me know. <br></div><div><br></div><div>If you Google Maps "Yosemite Forks" it will give you an approximate location of the garden, but here are the coordinates: 37.3795278172747, -119.62896439552196</div><div><br></div><div>Hopefully by mid-summer we'll have quite a pollinator garden up there. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Hope you're having a great summer.</div><div><br></div><div>Jay<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br clear="all"><br><span class="gmail_signature_prefix">-- </span><br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Jason (Jay) Sexton</span></font></div><div><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">(he/him/his)<br></span></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Associate Professor</span></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Chair, UCM Senate Committee on Research</span></font></span></font></span></font></div><div><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"></span></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Department of Life and Environmental Sciences<br></span></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"></span></font></span></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">University of California, Merced<br></span></font></div><div><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">231 Science and Engineering Building 1<br></span></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><a href="mailto:jsexton2@ucmerced.edu" target="_blank">jsexton2@ucmerced.edu</a><br><a href="http://sextonlab.ucmerced.edu/" target="_blank">http://sextonlab.ucmerced.edu/</a><br></span></font></div><div dir="ltr"><br><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"></span></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">
