Off the Beaten Path in the Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area:
Shrubs and Endemics
May 1 - 4, 2008
John O. Sawyer
Shasta-Trinity National Forest
This workshop will visit botanically interesting, less-traveled sites
around Lake Shasta checking out the plants growing on limestone. The
focus will be on shrub identification and seeing the endemic Shasta
snow-wreath (Neviusia cliftonii) in bloom.
We will spend Friday botanizing in the Low Pass Creek area of the
Devil's Rock-Hosselkus Research Natural Area. We should find at least
17 shrub species that day. On Saturday, we will hike from Dekkas Rock
campground in search of another diverse set of shrubs. On Sunday, we
will see the Waters Gulch population of Shasta snow-wreath and other
shrubs, this time not on limestone. John previews these areas in his
book Northwest California recently published by UC Press.
Course fee ($450/$475) includes campground fees, meals, and
transportation for the duration of the workshop. Camping will be at a
developed campground with pit-toilets and running water.
