White Pine Chapter - Idaho Native Plant Society

Welcome to the INPS White Pine Chapter website. You can find out more about our chapter by reading through these web pages. We welcome your comments. If you would like to know more about the state organization Idaho Native Plant Society you can read more on the state website's About INPS page.

On a chilly evening last October, a number of White Pine members and friends gathered for a very successful “planning party”, to harvest ideas for activities for 2009. The excitement that this meeting generated is evident in the list of coming events. You will find a stimulating schedule of presentations, from learning about the biological significance of Lochsa River roadless areas, the role of insects as pollinators of native forbs, collecting and growing native plants, and Palouse geology, to an opportunity for hands-on work with regional orchid species at the WSU herbarium. Early spring field trips will include a visit to the warmer climate of the Salmon River canyon and to property maintained by the Pomona Grange Park for a look at early bloomers; as a chapter “service” activity we are helping develop a species list for the park. Thanks to all who have so generously offered to share their knowledge and enthusiasm!

If you have a presentation you would like to give to the chapter or you would like to lead a field trip to a special place where you have knowledge of the plants or ecosystem, please let the officers know.
