 Ghost Plants and Roses Field Tour and Chapter Potluck on Saturday, October 25--White Pine Chapter (Idaho Native Plant Society)
White Pine Chapter of the Idaho Native Plant Society is sponsoring a field tour on Moscow Mountain that will be focused on identification of dormant plants (or "ghost plants") and roses. Ghost plants are those plants that have dried out but are still standing. They are typically difficult to identify. Rose identification will include tips for learning the difference between our beautiful native rose species and invasive roses, such as sweetbriar and dog rose.

Trish Heekin from the Latah Soil and Water Conservation District and Pamela Pavek from the Natural Resource Conservation Service will be leading this field trip. Helen Stroebel and Marjory Stage will be hosting the tour and potluck at their property on West Twin Road.

Meet to carpool at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 25, at the northeast corner of the Moscow Rosauers parking lot (411 North Main Street). The field portion of the day will begin about 9:30 a.m. and the lunch potluck will begin about 12:30. A short chapter meeting will follow the potluck.

This tour will include information on controlling the invasive sweetbriar rose. The hiking will be easy to moderately difficult. Please contact Helen Stroebel at 208.830.4187, for further information.
