Monday evening, June 2, 2008, will be the first field trip in a series of three Native Plant Society walks along the West Fork of Mink Creek.  These walks will show us the progression of the flora over the summer along a trail that abounds with a diversity of native plants.   On this first trip, you will see many tall serviceberry bushes covered with white flowers and abundant Oregon grape with its many yellow flowers.  Other plants you may  see in bloom include woodland star, wild strawberry, milkvetch, alumroot, miterwort, false solomon seal, starry solomon seal, meadow rue, mountain lover, wild hollyhock, chokecherry, red-osier dogwood, cinquefoil, fairy bells, and a variety of grasses.  All are welcome to join us.
To carpool,  meet at 6:00 pm in the ISU parking lot by the Bison sculpture behind the Idaho Museum of Natural History, S. 5th and Dillon St., Pocatello.  Or, meet at 6:30 pm at the West Fork of Mink Creek  parking lot, which is about 6.6 miles from the big curve off Bannock Hwy onto Mink Creek Road, or 9.5 miles from the I-15 Portneuf exit.  For more information, call 233-0714.
The purpose of the Southeast Idaho Chapter of the Idaho Native Plant Society is to promote interest in native plants, to encourage their preservation and conservation, and to collect and disseminate information on all phases of the botany and ecology of native plants in the Snake River County.
