Field Trip Updates

Sheep near N Timberline Road above Arrowcreek.

We are cancelling the field trip on June 8th. Sheep are used in the area to reduce fine fuels. When scoping the trail on May 31st we discover the sheep had been up the route we intended to take on Saturday June 8th and eaten many of the plants we were hoping to see. Given the degradation of the area adjacent to the trail and the forecasted heat next week there will be very little to see. Sadly the sheep do not enjoy eating Bromus tectorum or Taeniatherum caput-medusae so there are a lot of non native grasses in the area.

Update #2. The Grayeagle area field trip will now take place on Sunday July 28th, not on Saturday July 27th.
