Hybrid Hunt Update + Cape Perpetua Collaborative Talk

Hey Ammophila-philes!

Last week I gave a talk for the Cape Perpetua Collaborative. I had a great time virtually interacting with the Cape Perpetua community; thanks to Tara for inviting me! I used this opportunity to describe the discovery of the hybrid beachgrass and the goals of this iNaturalist project. It's pretty similar to other talks I've posted here except that at the end I gave an update on successes of the "hybrid hunt!" Check it out on YouTube (or read below for spoilers).

CAUTION: TALK SPOILERS!

Over the summer we identified 6 new patches of the hybrid at 4 sites! One of these sites was discovered by a community member! 2 hybrid patches were found in Bob Straub State Park (just south of Pacific City) and the rest were found on the Long Beach Peninsula. Huge thanks to everyone who has been scouring the beaches for this fascinating plant. There is certainly more out there to find so keep your eyes on those ligules!

With gratitude,

Rebecca
