*HOW TO RESTORE THE PALOUSE PRAIRIE*

Have you ever thought about using native Palouse Prairie plants on your
property? Kas Dumroese has, and he will present his experience in a talk
entitled "Restoring the Vanishing Palouse Prairie: My Humble Attempt" at 7 PM
Thursday, March 8, in the Hecht Room of Neill Public Library in Pullman.
Kas will define the Prairie and describe his attempts to recreate an acre;
he will include such topics as cost sharing, plant selection, and planting
methods as well as his successes and failures. Kas is a plant physiologist
with the USDA Forest Service and his work focuses on propagating native
plants. He is a specialist with lots of information about enhancing land
using natives and managing it for wildlife. This presentation is sponsored
by the Palouse Prairie Foundation and is free and open to the public.

*Neill Public Library* Edith Hecht Reading Room, 210 N. Grand Ave, Pullman
WA. Attendees should enter through the door on the east side of the
building, near the parking lot. ****

*Gardening for Pollinators*

Do you want to learn how to attract pollinators to your garden? Be part of
a free workshop on Tuesday, April 3, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm at the 1912
Center Great Room in Moscow.

Get to know the pollinators and the invaluable purpose they serve in our
environment. Become acquainted with native plant species that are
pollinator-friendly and thrifty in their use of water. Hear ideas on how to
bring native and introduced flowering species together and grow them
successfully to create a beautiful garden. And for those who wish to start
plants from seeds and/or cuttings, the workshop will also feature a local
grower who will share her ?tried and true? practices.

This workshop is made possible by many volunteers: the Friends of the
Moscow Library and the Latah County Library District, the Latah Soil and
Water Conservation District, the University of Idaho Cooperative Extension
Service, and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service Plant
Materials Center.

Presentations begin at 7:00 pm but speakers will be available at 6:30 pm
for informal discussion and questions. Light refreshments will be served.

There will be four speakers—Pamela Pavek, of the USDA NRCS Plant Materials
Center; Tim Hatten, invertebrate ecologist; Pat Mason, local grower of
native plants; and Jen Elliott, landscape architect.
