I’d love to get some interns out on this project and can check with some of the ylp students that are on campus as well. Is there a chance that next Friday (June 16) could work? They are off every other Friday and may be interested in checking out your project.

Let me know if this day will work and I’ll see what I can do to find folks to assist.

Hi Everyone,

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. (See attached project 1-pager).

Well, the time is finally here to plug them into the ground. We've got ~3,500 seedlings to transplant from the UC Merced greenhouse to Batterson Station (US Forest Service). We're starting our big push to get them in the ground this week, and the push will probably last a couple of weeks, including plantings, quality checks, and initial measurements. If you or anyone you know feels like checking it out and can spare any time to help plug and/or measure some plants in that garden, please let me know.

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

Hopefully by mid-summer we'll have quite a pollinator garden up there.

Hope you're having a great summer.

Jay
