Native Plants and the Association of Collegiate Alumnae in 1904

Stockton Record 17-Feb-1904

 One hundred and 17 years ago, the Association of Collegiate Alumnae encouraged people to use native trees and plants instead of foreign species. 

I posted this on the California Native Plant Society Facebook group and there was a mixed reaction of pride, surprise, and discouragement that we are still fighting this battle. The post was shared 25 times!
