May Field Trip: GROWISER by Sue Parrish
Join us on Monday, Memorial Day, May 30th for a trip to GROWISER: Grande Ronde Overlook Wildflower Institute Serving Ecological Restoration. This 220 acre piece of heaven on the slopes of the Blue Mts has been created by Dr. Andy Huber with the intent of restoring the flora to all native species. You will be treated to incredible meadows filled with blooming wildflowers with a backdrop of the Wallowa Mts. in the distance. Trails meander between the meadows and forest, so many birds will be found. This beautiful spot is located off the Tollgate highway, about 5 miles west of Elgin. We’ll meet at the Whitman Harper Joy parking lot at 8:00 and return mid afternoon. Bring a lunch to sit and enjoy in one of the most scenic spots around. Check it out for yourself at www.growiser.net
