On Saturday August 2nd, we will be embarking upon the always-fascinating Tahoe Meadows Interpretive Loop. This is a beautiful area with huge ecological diversity and this will be prime time for experiencing the wild flowers.
We will plan on meeting at 9am at the Tahoe Meadows Trailhead (39.312980, -119.892204).
For folks that would prefer to carpool, we will meet at the Galena Creek Visitor's Center at 8:30am.
It is a roughly 1.3 mile loop on level ground, however, despite it's length, we plan to be walking between 2-3 hours given the immense number of fascinating plants that can be seen here. Among (many) others, we hope to see Veratrum, Sambucus,,, Erigeron, Lupinus, Ligusticum, Erythranthe and Aquilegia genera.
Save the date for the 2025 Eriogonum Society Meeting in beautiful Bishop, California, with its abundance of buckwheats. With the Sierras to the west, White Mountains to the east, and volcanic features to the north, Bishop has a wide range of habitats that support some impressive Eriogonum diversity plus close relatives like Dedeckera, Oxytheca, and Chorizanthe.
The eriogonum Society has a new website: https://eriogonum.community Registration information can be found here: https://eriogonum.community/meetings/annual-meeting-2025-bishop-california/
They will not be offering lodging this year and rooms in Bishop fill up fast in the summer, so make your reservations soon.
