Topic: Birds and Plants of the Dempster Highway
 Location: 1912 Center, Great Room, 412 East Third St., Moscow, Idaho (between Adams and Van Buren)

The Dempster Highway is a Canadian Highway (Yukon Highway 5 and Northwest Territories Highway 8) which connects the Klondike Highway in the Yukon to the Northwest Territories on the MacKenzie River Delta. The highway itself sits on top of a gravel berm to insulate the permafrost in the soil underneath. Without the thick pad, the permafrost would thaw and the road would sink into the ground. From past experience we know that Sarah and Jerry will have some wonderful photos of birds, wildflowers and scenery which most of us have never seen.
