Articles and Publications

Over the years, members and friends of Shasta Chapter CNPS have taken pen to paper and digit to keyboard to write about California native plant subjects dear to them. Most of these were published in the Chapter newsletter, The Firecracker. Some were also published in the Redding Record Searchlight, the vast majority of which zeroed in on one particular species or genus. Listed here for your perusal, in more or less alphabetical order, are those articles that were published outside of The Firecracker. They are as pertinent today as they were the day they were written.
