California Oaks

Apologies for the acronym soup, but if you're interested in joining the CA Native Plant Society (CNPS) started a project (California Oakwatch) to track and identify oaks, focusing on recruiting/young oaks and rare oaks across the State:

They also linking informative training videos on Youtube and some PDF resources to learn to better ID our native oaks.

P.S. A bonus link and FYI for anyone interested in Oak Rangeland online resources, many UC ANR links were recently reorganized or deleted, so I'm posting this link to UC ANR Oak Rangeland resources (via UC Berkeley's College of Natural Resources) in case anyone hasn't seen it.

It contains resources for land managers, homeowners, and others to help manage and protect oak woodlands, as well as links to recent research on the importance of oak woodlands and new management technique publications and findings:
