Newsletter: Started helping on the Mar/Apr 1991 issue, and eventually became sole Editor around the Jan/Feb 1993 issue. In the 1996 Audubon chapter newsletter contest, the newsletter won first place among "Very Small Audubon Chapters". In addition to editing, I have written several essays on natural history (mostly historical) and conservation issues for the newsletter. Retired as editor in 2003.
Website: put up a site on which information about the chapter is given, along with newsletter text. Retired as webmaster ca. 2004.
Vice-President, Sept. '92 then President Sept. '93 through Aug. '95.
Photography of Calif. native plants, digital images sent to the CalPhotos databases, part of the digital library project at U.C. Berkeley
Volunteered to do all the computer archiving of the 3000 plant specimen cards of Eastern Sierra botanist Mary DeDecker, a project of the Bristlecone chapter of the California Native Plant Society.
Some articles for the newsletter of the Bristlecone chapter, including the historical series "Who's in a Name".
