Hi, My name is Chelsea McKinley. I'm the Assistant Greenhouse Manager at the UCSC Greenhouses. I work with Jim Velzy on growing and maintaining native plants used for restoration. I plan to document the phenology of local native flora. We will collect seed of native Bay Laurel and Black Sage for restoration purposes. I will have one other person with me to help photograph and document the plants. We plan to arrive at the reserve on February 15th and leave on February 17th, and if possible we would like to stay in the yurt at big creek. If the yurt is not available then we're also willing to use one of the campgrounds. Thank you, Chelsea
