Thanks especially to Peggy Chevalier who recently led a well-attended grass identification workshop for the chapter.

Thanks to leaders Bill Rember and Pam Brunsfeld we enjoyed the many blooming forbs and shrubs on a field trip to the Grande Ronde as well as Bill Rember's explanations of the geology of the Columbia River Basalt. For more information on the geology please go to the USGS CRB site.

Palouse Prairie remnant field trips led by Trish Heekin included Howell Prairie Remnant and Paradise Ridge Remnant. Thanks Trish for arranging these visits during the prime blooming time.

A small group checked out the Feather Creek Trail near Bovill for future field trip potential.

Thanks again to Pam Brunsfeld for leading a special field trip to Elk River Falls specifically to locate some special orchids and other plants which inhabit the same environment. The orchids were present and spectacular, as were the incredible falls. Huckleberry ice cream was a special treat afterwards.
