The Events Calendar contains information on future meeting, 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. The meetings are held at the Campbell Creek Science Center and start at 7:00 pm (please note the half hour earlier start time than prior meetings). 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 select a plant family to study, and members present different species within that family at each meeting. The plant family for fall and winter 2018-2019 will be Rosaceae. Thanks in advance to all volunteer speakers! Below is a map to the Campbell Creek Science Center.
