Full field program description here


We'll camp at a little lake along the South Fork of the Sacramento River.  We'll hike high up into an alpine meadow on Mt Shasta and get to know some very dear plants there.  We'll spend the afternoon at the lake getting to know some very unique aquatic plants.

We'll see and work with Anemone occidentalis, bogbean, yellow pond lily, ledum, and more.

More details about the trip will be sent to registrants a week or so ahead of time.
