<span style="font-family: inherit;">Readers of the new book, “Field Guide to the Common Grasses
of Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska” by KNPS board member, Iralee Barnard, will
expand their knowledge and identification skills to the beautiful array of this
important adaptive grass family. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Iralee adds a blend of ecological and cultural contextual information
with her identification steps so the novice and expert alike will not only be
able to recognize and identify the grasses so abundant in our natural landscape
but to do so with an interesting diversity of complimentary information about
each grass species. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Only two of every ten species of the heartland’s 3,000
species of wild plants are grasses yet these grasses can account for 90% of the
ground cover. Seventy of the most common
grass species are included with 415 color photographs revealing details not
found in previous grass identification field guides.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Iralee’s artistic ability coupled with her extensive
botanist background has influenced this unique field guide format. Clear descriptions, a “finding list” system
using flowering heads, leaf details with size comparisons and whole mature
plant color pictures help the reader systematically walk through the
identification process. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">An Illustrated glossary, leaf comparison sections and table
of grass flowering dates provide additional information for recognizing and
identification. Descriptions focus on the primary characteristics of each
species and are accompanied by distribution maps.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Iralee exemplifies KNPS members by her book dedication
remarks,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This book is dedicated to all who
love the outdoors and learning. May your path be interesting and filled with
pleasure in all seasons.</span></div>

At least 37 flowering species were seen at the Smoky Valley Ranch, Lake Scott, and Monument Rocks. There were so many unique plants that are adapted to the arid conditions of western Kansas.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Kansas Native Plant Society board of Directors holds quarterly meetings in
various parts of the state. For the past several years, board members
have expressed a desire to visit western portions of the state. Due to
continuing drought conditions in that area, holding our fall Annual Wildflower
Weekend there has not been promising. We have made arrangements for
two days of outings. The outings will be on May 3rd and 4th and are open
to all KNPS members as well as interested guests. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We
will be visiting the Nature Conservancy's Smoky Valley Ranch on Saturday
afternoon, May 3rd. This 16,800 acre ranch is located southwest of Oakley
in Logan County. It is a prime example of short-grass prairie and has
scenic chalk bluffs and rocky ravines. <span style="color: #343434;">Native Americans, U.S. Cavalry, Charles
Fremont, Kit Carson, and Wild Bill Hickok passed through Smoky Valley Ranch and
the Butterfield stage line stopped at a way station located on the ranch.
</span>The
KNPS directors will hold our spring board meeting at the ranch headquarters in
the morning. That afternoon, we will have an opportunity to do botanizing
on the ranch.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The
following morning, May 4th, we will explore Scott State Park. This 1,020
acre park surrounds the beautiful spring fed Scott State Fishing Lake and hosts
a great diversity of plant species. El Cuartelejo ruins, a National
Historic Landmark that was the site of the northernmost pueblo in the United
States is located within the park as well as the Steele Homestead Museum.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It
will take 30 minutes or more to get to the Smoky Valley Ranch from
Oakley. Travel south of Oakley on Highway 83 eleven (11) miles.
Head west on Seneca Road seven (7) miles. Turn south again on 370<sup>th</sup>
Road, travel approximately seven (7) miles until you reach the ranch
headquarters entrance sign.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Please
note:</b> if
you do a search for the ranch in Google Maps, the address for the Smoky Valley
Ranch that is indicated is not where the headquarters is actually located.
Google Maps refers to a mailbox about 5 miles from the headquarters. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our
schedule for May 3:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">10:00

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">12:00
-1:00 pm: Lunch near ranch headquarters. You will need to bring
your own lunch and water.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1:00
to 1:30 pm: Ranch Manager Matt Bain will provide an introduction to the
ranch, discussing the ranch's history, work that the Nature Conservancy is
doing there, and management issues.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1:30
to 5:30 pm: We will carpool to sites on the ranch to see the dominant
vegetation types, plants, and fauna. Hopefully, we will be able to visit
sites associated with chalk bluffs/outcrops, shortgrass/mixed-grass prairie,
and riparian habitats.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On
May 4th, we will gather at 9:00 AM at Barrel Springs Trout Pond parking area
near the south entrance to Lake Scott State Park - just off state route 95.
From 9:15 am to 1:00 pm, our tentative plans are to hike the Big Springs
Nature Trail and vicinity and the Timber Canyon area, including Suicide
Bluffs. Lake Scott is 34 miles south of Oakley, so folks staying in
Oakley will need to allow time for the drive. The park is about 14 miles
north of Scott City. Entrance to the state park requires an annual park
vehicle permit or a $5.00 daily vehicle permit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Readers, who have carried and used the orange booklet <a href="http://www.kansasnativeplantsociety.org/pocket_guide_flinthills.php">A Pocket Guide to Kansas Flint Hills Wildflowers and Grasses</a> by Iralee Barnard, will be thrilled to learn that Great Plains Nature Center has published a companion pocket guide for the flowering plants found in the Kansas Red Hills. A Pocket Guide to Kansas Red Hills Wildflowers uses basically the same format of colored photographs and descriptions to help fans identify the plants found in the south-central or western portions of Kansas. The purple pink cover will help you instantly know which guide you are picking up.<br />
<br />
KNPS board member, Phyllis Scherich, is a major contributor to the contents of the guide. Those who have walked with Phyllis on wildflower outings are well aware of her vast knowledge of Red Hills wildflowers and outstanding photographs. <br />
<br />
The purpose of this pocket guide is to highlight wildflower species found in the Red Hills or predominately in south-central or western portions of Kansas. It is intended to provide Red Hills' visitors and residents with a small, convenient, and quick reference to the region’s wildflower beauty. Hopefully, one will take away an even greater understanding and appreciation for the natural history, the biological diversity, and the overall beauty of this unique landscape of Kansas.<br />

These events are listed by various organizations including KNPS. Many of these events give the public a chance to see the plants that make up our diverse flora. April & May are prime for our woodland wildflowers. Be sure to attend one of our events.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720315515142134659.post-88094312877958592812011-03-29T12:41:00.000-07:002011-03-29T12:47:59.263-07:00Roadside Vegetation ManagementIn 2008, KNPS developed a Roadside Vegetation Management (RVM) position paper that encourages adoption of practices that promote native vegetation along Kansas roadways. Recommendations include a reduction of road-to fence mowing, use of sound ecological management practices for existing native roadside vegetation, and replacement of non-native vegetation with native grasses and wildflowers.” At this time, the membership at large of KNPS has an opportunity to be part of the implementation of the goals of the 2008 position paper. We welcome your feedback on how KNPS might facilitate the participation of the membership. The survey only takes a couple of minutes to complete and is anonymous. The survey closes on April 20, 2011. <br/><a href="http://www.kansasnativeplantsociety.org/news/2011_RVM_survey_iframe.htm">Take the RVM Survey</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720315515142134659.post-51644745616725561252011-03-01T06:48:00.000-08:002011-03-01T07:04:47.816-08:00Membership RegionsAs a statewide organization, it's difficult to develop events and membership in all parts of the state. To foster more local events and local involvement, the KNPS is developing membership regions. The members in these regions shall be guided by KNPS and encouraged to develop local events and promote a local membership community.<br /><br /><br />See a <a href="http://www.kansasnativeplantsociety.org/membership_regions.php">map of the regions</a> and learn more about getting involved locally.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ue8Rf-dkBC0/TW0K5CapuHI/AAAAAAAAAgk/t-EMG45Oh1w/s1600/membership_regions.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 211px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579127488399390834" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ue8Rf-dkBC0/TW0K5CapuHI/AAAAAAAAAgk/t-EMG45Oh1w/s400/membership_regions.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OBwxeEwsnLo/TW0KtaEuYRI/AAAAAAAAAgc/So-dHnolAQs/s1600/membership_regions.jpg"></a><br /><br /><br /></div><a href="http://www.kansasnativeplantsociety.org/images/membership/membership_regions.jpg"></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720315515142134659.post-30839326108292046892011-01-09T07:14:00.001-08:002011-01-09T07:17:57.523-08:002011 Events PostedAll known events have been added to the KNPS calendar for 2011.<br /><br />A county filter has been added to <a href="http://www.kansasnativeplantsociety.org/events.php">KNPS Wildflower & Native Plant Events</a>, so you can browse the events only in your county.<br /><br />If you know of an event that isn't listed, send us the information using the link on the events page.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
