These trips have various sponsors--but you are likely to find White Pine-INPS members involved!

Saturday, May 31, 7:30 am:  Boulder Creek UUCP botanical field trip, and possibly again on June 7, if a high percentage of people can't make the 31st. The trip is a Unitarian-Universalist Church of the Palouse event, and the $5 cost per person will go to the church.  Anyone under 18 gets to hike for free.  Leaders are Rod Sprague and Selma Yocum.  Carpool from the church grounds, 420 E. 2nd St., Moscow.
     Two walking trails lead out from the Boulder Creek Campground and Natural Area, located about 5 miles south of Helmer, ID.  One pathway is a mile and a half long, and the other is five miles long. Whatever distance the group decides to walk, we will cover.  Boulder Creek will be visible from both trails, and the longer path goes through a forest to the Potlatch River.  This will be the third annual botanical walk that Rod and Selma will be leading, and we'll be teaching some fun things about the native flora.  Plant and other kinds of jokes and stories will be flying through the air, along with birds and insects.
     Included in the outing will be some opening words before we enter the forest, a mystery drawing midway through, and some closing words before we leave the natural area. Everyone can bring their own snacks and drinks.  
     If another walk is scheduled for June 7, the same information will apply. Please contact Selma at Selma.deer.dreamer at gmail.com or 208-596-3140 for further details.
