Join supporters of Oregons Owyhee Canyonlands Campaign, the Native Plant Society of Oregon, and the Idaho Native Plant Society for a four-day adventure into the West Little Owyhee River June 9th-12th!
A group of aspiring, professional and retired botanists are getting together to explore this remote stretch of Wild and Scenic River canyon for rare and sensitive plant species over the course of three days and three nights. We plan to establish a base camp at Anderson Crossing and venture both up and down-canyon and into the neighboring playas in search of species like Owyhee sage (Artemisia papposa), Owyhee River stickseed (Hackelia ophiobi) and Shockley’s Ivesia (Ivesia schockleyi )
No prior botany experience required! Self supported camping gear and some experience in the backcountry is needed– car camping is an option.
Space is limited, so please contact the Oregon Owyhee Canyonlands Coordinator Chris Hansen at 541-709-1576 or chansen at onda dot org to reserve your spot today.
