The Events Calendar contains information on future meetings, field trips, and workshops hosted by AKNPS. The public is invited to monthly meetings that are held the first Monday of the month, starting in October and running through May and start at 7:00 pm. Meetings are currently held virtually, but future meetings may move to an in-person option as well (see location details for more information). Specially invited speakers present a topic of their choice at each meeting. AKNPS members also do shorter presentations on topics of botanical interest. Each season, we also select a plant family to study, and members present different species within that family at each meeting. Thanks in advance to all volunteer speakers! Below is a map to the Campbell Creek Science Center.

Meeting Location
Currently, meetings for 2021 will be held virtually because of ongoing concerns about Covid-19. Members will receive information to access the webinars prior to meeting dates. Meetings are also open to the public. If you would like to listen to a virtual meeting, please email the webmaster requesting the meeting information. Once in-person meetings resume, members in the Anchorage area can attend at the Campbell Creek Science Center (see map below).
