The Dorothy King Young Chapter serves coastal Mendocino County, the northern coastal area of Sonoma County, and nearby areas. We host activities throughout the year for members and the general public. These include:
- regular meetings featuring informative guest speakers
- field trips
- educational functions
- plant sales
- weed eradication
We also provide input and information to governmental and private
agencies about projects of local and statewide interest which may
have effects on native plants.

"Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit, and as vital to our lives as water and good bread. A civilization which destroys what little remains of the wild, the spare, the original, is cutting itself off from its origins and betraying the principle of civilization itself."
