Wood River Chapter (Blaine County)

The Wood River Chapter includes Carey, Picabo, Gannet, Bellevue, Hailey, Ketchum, Sun Valley and all of Blaine County. We love to get out on trails throughout the year but generally focus on speaker presentations in the cold months and field trips in the warm(er) months. Our events are open to all, although we do offer a couple of events, campouts etc., each year for chapter members only. Besides scheduled events, we offer pop-up events at the last minute, which we announce via our email newsletter.

You can find out about all our programs by subscribing to our email newsletter, which is open to anyone. Just send an email to woodriver@idahonativeplants.org and say you’d like to be added to the newsletter list.

You don’t need to know much about wildflowers to hang out with us. Our group consists of professionals, photographers, hikers, birders, butterfly lovers, tree huggers, and lots of folks who just think plants are pretty. You’ll fit right in!

See upcoming talks and walks below…Everyone is welcome!
