Learn botanizing, sketching and photography skills as you hike! Instructors include Dr. Linda Vorobik, marine biologist Dr. Larry Basch, and Lee Webb (retired USFS wildlife biologist).
We'll start the weekend with a public program at the Pistol River Friendship Hall Friday evening. Saturday, you have the option of two different field courses exploring the natural history of the area: Botanizing Signal Butte with Linda Vorobik and Ecology of the Pistol River with Larry Basch. On Sunday, the two options are: Botanical Sketching with Linda Vorobik and Wildflower Photography with Lee Webb.
