SEPTEMBER 28, 2017 AT MCMINNVILLE LIBRARY

Join the Cheahmill Chapter of the Native Plant Society for a FREE program on identifying conifers in NW Oregon. Oregon Master Naturalist, Ken Denniston, will be using samples and photographs to identify each of the 18 conifers native to northwest Oregon. Using a unique, staged approach to the topic, the presentation will include simple ways to easily distinguish each conifer as well as some tricks to help everyone remember the differences. For more information on the topic, visit Ken’s website at nwconifers.com

A huge thank you to Linfield College for volunteering at Miller Woods for their Freshman Orientation Community Service Day.

The 21 hours of service the group contributed allowed us to clear a quarter mile of new trail. They worked hard and left tired and extremely dusty.

We are so grateful!!

And thank you to volunteer James Riedman for leading the group!
