Samantha Barlin is San Diegan born and raised. She grew up hiking the trails locally and fell in love with the nature there. Currently an art director for board games by trade, she joined the Canyoneers as a volunteer in 2022 to get out from behind the desk and back out into the chaparral, introducing other people to the nature she fell in love with.

Tales from the Trails: A Q&A with our Canyoneers

The Canyoneers are a volunteer arm of the San Diego Natural History Museum, leading free interpretive hikes all over San Diego County. During these hikes the public is introduced to the habitats, flora, and fauna that makes San Diego County one of the most biodiverse places in the world.

The newly reinstituted Plant Forum (to learn more, please read the Plant Forum article by Susi Torre-Bueno in this newsletter) will be for the in-person meeting attendees only. However, we are looking for a volunteer videographer to record the monthly Plant Forum for our Youtube channel. (Want to volunteer to video the Plant Forum for our YouTube Channel or learn more about what is needed to do this for the Society? It might be helpful to know that once a video is uploaded to our Dropbox account the videographer's job is done and others will do any editing needed and the uploading and posting to YouTube. Contact Karen England info@sdhort.org to help with doing this.)

FYI - Our new bigger meeting room at Oasis is The Innovation Center on the lower level. 

Unless otherwise stated, we meet the third Saturday of the month at 1:30p atSan Diego Oasis in Rancho Bernardo, 17170 Bernardo Center Dr., San Diego, CA 92128.
