Field Trip: Tunnel Creek Bog Plants
Trip Leaders: Sarah Malaby, Kerry Johnson, and Steve Sheehy
We will hike to Tunnel Creek to visit a bog area with dry land, creek, and bog plants. Plants the group may see include Drosera sp., a rare Carex sp., and Vaccinium sp. to name just a few. Hiking is moderately difficult with some trip hazards. The ground is fairly level with deep holes and there will be downed slick logs and soft marshy moss mats. Water level varies so rubber boots or shoes that can get wet are recommended for this hike. Please come prepared: bring water and lunch. Meet at 9:30 am off Keno Access Road off Dead Indian Memorial Highway (from your side). Parking will be on a side road at coordinates 42.25237°, -122.21272°. Safety cones will mark the intersection.
