Milo Baker Chapter Leadership

The Milo Baker Board is a group of incredibly dedicated people who are fun to work with. If you are interested in becoming involved in the Milo Baker Chapter of the California Native Plant Society we encourage you to attend a board meeting on the second Tuesday of the month (except for June, August, and December) at 6:30pm, via Zoom. If you would like to attend, contact us for a link to the Zoom meeting.
