Zoom Program: Drake Peak in Southeast Oregon: At the Edge of Beyond
Join noted youth educator, naturalist, and author Bobbie Snead as she describes the Drake Peak area, a compact cluster of peaks in Southeast Oregon that sits on the boundary between the Fremont Pine/Fir Forest ecoregion and the vast expanse of the Great Basin. Containing a surprising variety of habitats, the Drake Peak area is home to numerous wildflower and tree species.
Bobbie is a life-long naturalist who has had professional stints as a park naturalist, wilderness leader, and environmental educator. She recently was part of an environmental education/field study team that taught stream ecology, mountain snow studies, old growth forest science, and beach ecology to students in grades K-5. She has authored several books and wrote a nature column for Salem’s Statesman Journal newspaper for three and a half years. Registration is required.
