Natural History Wanderings

It is not too late to sign up for the Eriogonum Society Meeting in Bishop, California, August 7-10.
Learn how to identify buckwheats and their relatives, then meet them in the field. This year, we will return to a buckwheat hotspot in eastern California. With visits to the White Mountains, Sierras, and volcanic lowlands, there will be dozens of buckwheats to see, including endemic species such as E. gracilipes (raspberry buckwheat), E. latens (Inyo buckwheat), and E. ampullaceum (Mono buckwheat). An optional field trip on Monday, Aug 11th, will explore Horseshoe Meadows, a beautiful meadow high in the Sierras, accessed by a winding road with spectacular views.
Don’t have time for a full weekend? Registration is available for just the Friday workshop and field trip.
