“Countering Misinformation Concerning Big Sagebrush”
PRE-REGISTRATION IS ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY REQUIRED.
Bruce Welch, a plant physiologist with the USDA Forest Service’s Rocky Mountain Research Station in Provo, Utah, will be the featured dinner speaker at our 21st Annual Rare Plant Conference February 15-16 in Boise. We think you’ll find his Tuesday evening talk on big sagebrush so interesting that we’ve declared it our official February get-together. Where else will you learn which critters big sagebrush supports and why it might be a nicer neighbor to other plants than you had heard—plus enjoy pizza and pasta with fellow Pahove members for just around $14? If you’re attending the conference, then sign up for dinner at the registration table. If you’re skipping the conference but attending Bruce’s talk, call Ann DeBolt no later than February 13 at 384-1244 to pre-register. Be sure to indicate whether you plan to order a meal.
Next on March 17: Susan Ziebarth of the MK Nature Center on Native Plant Landscaping for Wildlife (Welcoming the Birds and the Bees).
