SERCAL Conference, April 30 - May 1, 2009

High Ranch Nursery had a table at the recent 16th Annual SERCAL/CNGA Conference in Folsom, CA. More information can be found on their website. There were numerous speakers on various topics dealing with ecological restoration. In light of what's happening globally with the "green movement," global warming, and reducing your "carbon footprint," many topics hit home with the attendees as far as what we can do ourselves to conserve and review our current BMP's. Questions, problems and possible solutions were discussed after each session. It was a valuable informational conference, and it gave me a chance to network with ecological restoration people from all over the state. Our business - High Ranch Nursery, Inc. - has been growing natives for supply to the conservation industry. Our plants are grown using the RPM - Root Production Method - to develop a fibrous root system to ensure success upon planting out, especially for habitat restoration. We invite your plants lists and bid requests for contract growing. It was a great conference, and we were happy to a part of it this year!
