luck, we will find a broad cross-section of low to mid elevation spring plants in and around the lovely sky island of the northern Santa Ritas. Field trip leader is Ries Lindley. Meet at 7:20 a.m. at Fry’s Shopping Center, Irvington just east of I-10. We will
be east of the Texas Roadhouse and south of Fry’s. Group size limit: 4 Vehicles. Parking will be limited at some stops. Please RSVP to Diane Kelly:
