California is a Biodiversity Hotspot!
-Mediterranean climate and dramatic geography
-One of the most biodiverse places in the world
-Microclimates of the Bay Area make it a special place within a special place!
(Shelter in your Shed!)

California Native Plants
Native plants are naturally occuring within a specific region and have co-evolved with the other components of their ecosystem
In California we have:
6,000+ native plant species
1,200+ endemic plant species

Impacts on Ecosystems
-Urbanization
-Agriculture
-Climate Change
-Invasive Species

Introduced Species
Non-native plants are plants that have been introduced with human help (intentionally or accidentally) to a new place or a new type of habitat where it was not previously found. Not all non-native plants are invasive.
Invasive plants are non-native plants that spread quickly and cause harm to the environment, economy, or human health.

Invasive Plant Species
• Reduce biodiversity and ecosystem health:• provide minimal to no food for local insects
• displace native plants and create monocultures
• reduce wildlife habitat
• can change soil chemistry
• can disproportionately deplete groundwater
• Can increase fire fuel load
• Degrade agriculture and range land
• Reduce recreational value
