SUMMARY:Field Trip: Bear Camp Botanical Area near Galice\, OR
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, July 11\, 8:00 am – 4:30 pm\nField Trip: Bear Camp Botanical Area near Galice\, OR\nLeader: Matt Dybala\nMeeting Location: Ray’s Food Place\, 3500 Merlin Rd\, Grants Pass\, OR 97526 \nThis Botanical Area is located halfway between Galice and Agness along the Bear Camp Road/Bear Camp Ridge area\, close to 5\,000’ elevation.

The hike will be about 5.5 miles with 650 feet elevation gain. Botanist Veva Stansell conducted extensive plant surveys in this area over many years; her fieldwork provided the basis for approval of this site as a Botanical Area as part of the 1989 Forest Plan for the Siskiyou National Forest.  Veva compiled an extensive plant list for the area and left a legacy of sharing botanical joy with everyone\, and we’ll continue her joyful legacy on this hike. \nPlease register in advance by contacting si************@***il.com

SUMMARY:Field Trip: Deadfall Lakes - Mt. Eddy near Weed\, California
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, August 1\, 8:00 am – 5:30 pm\nField Trip: Deadfall Lakes – Mt. Eddy near Weed\, California\nLeader: Matt Dybala\nMeeting Location: CVS Pharmacy\, 2341 Ashland St\, Ashland\, OR \nMount Eddy is the tallest peak in the Klamath Mountains at 9\,025 ft. It is unusual because it has high elevation serpentine soils and sits adjacent to the Cascade Mountains.  Our trip will be on the Pacific Crest Trail from Parks Creek Trailhead to the Lower Deadfall Lakes. The roundtrip total hike will be six miles with 1080 ft elevation gain. I will be sharing a plant list made by two amazing botanists\, Norm Jensen and Alex Maksymowicz. Mount Eddy is one of the only places in the world where you can see Klamath Foxtail Pines (Pinus balfouriana subsp. balfouriana).  And there are several additional endemic species with narrow geographic ranges\, such as Calochortus nudus or naked mariposa lily\, Lilium pardalinum ssp.shastense or Shasta Lily\, and Astragalus whitneyi var. siskiyouensis or balloonpod milkvetch growing in this botanical area\, to name a few! \nThe drive to the trailhead is 74.2 miles for a total of one hour and 32 minutes. (For comparison the drive to Crater Lake is two hours to the entry gate.) The route is paved the whole way. The directions to the trailhead are as follows. From Ashland\, drive south on I-5 for 60.2 miles and take exit 751and turn right onto Old Hwy 99. After 0.2 miles turn left on Steward Springs Road which will become Forest Rte. 42N17 for 13. 6 miles. \nFor those interested\, there will also be plans to camp overnight to extend our time at this amazing location for an additional day of botanizing. \nPlease register in advance by contacting si************@***il.com
