Saturday, May 11, 9:00 am – 3:00 pm
Location: Lower Cow Creek Watershed and Island Day Use Area
Leader: Rod Trotter
We will leave Roseburg promptly at 9:00 am from our meet up location on Keady Ct. (See directions in May 1 field trip) We will explore Beatty Rock, a monolithic outcropping of conglomerate in the lower Cow Creek Watershed. This is one of our favorite spots. Ride sharing is encouraged. Parking is limited. We will explore along lower Cow Creek Road. We should see star Solomon’s seal; a rare new catchfly; white, purple and tri-colored iris; Madia elegans; inside out flower; and coast trillium.
The first stop is at the mouth of Beatty Creek, some three miles up Cow Creek Road. There we will amble about the beautiful creek and view the Beatty Rock area. The second stop is 1.8 miles further down Cow Creek Road at the Bureau of Land Management Island Wayside. We usually eat our lunch there. Bring lunch. There is also a maintained public toilet on site.
