This page recognizes just some of what David Amme has contributed to the mission of the California Native Grasslands Association. He was a founding member, Past-President, taught the Grass Identification class across California, and has written many articles on California’s coastal native grasses, as well as native grasslands in general. Many in the Bay Area have been introduced to the beauty and resilience of coastal prairie bunchgrasses and wildflowers thanks to grassland hikes he's led at Richmond's Pt. Molate. Below are several important reference articles contributed to CNGA by David. Thank you David!
