Contributions page documents many but not all of the people who have made
this site useful. I freely
use facts, such as plant and family names, leaf length, and blooming season,
that I find in books such as Marin
Flora and Introduction To California Spring Wildflowers, and in
web sources such as calflora.org, wikipedia.org and calphotos.berkeley.edu. However, I correct them for Marin County
conditions whenever I can, adjusting plant sizes and blooming period based on
my own observations and recommendations from local experts. This site
would not be possible without sustained generous input from dozens of local
experts. I find them in the Marin
Chapter of the California Native Plant Society, and when taking organized
plant walks, and occasionally just by the side of the trail. I love the simple, friendly, open spirit I
find in people happily absorbing nature. Want to
contribute? You can ·
Be a local expert for a specific
area. If you know all the plants a person walking
in your area would be likely to notice, we’d like to work with you to get
that knowledge up on the site. ·
Send in your favorite digital plant
photos. We’re looking for sharp focus on leaves,
flowers, fruit, seeds, or overall profile – in other words, photos that would
help someone identify the plant in front of them. Beauty is greatly appreciated too, but our
focus is on plant identification. ·
Help us with computer stuff. This includes assembling plant pages, managing photos, programming,
getting web server capacity, etc. When you
volunteer, we’ll agree on how you want to be credited. You can work anonymously, use a pseudonym,
or use your real name. You can credit the department or organization you work
for. You can supply your email and/or
phone if you want to network with other contributors. |
