Field Trips
Greenstone Mountain – Alpine Flowers and Birds; Sunday, July 4th

Sunday, July 4th. Meet in the parking lot near the Aberdeen theatre at 8:30 am for an annual KNC tradition of visiting Greenstone Mountain to see alpine flowers and birds.

The trip involves stops on a good gravel road suitable for regular cars. The road runs right to the top of the mountain. The group will have lunch at the end of the trip at the top of the mountain and enjoy the view. The trip involves very little walking as the road passes right beside several lakes for birding stops and a good flower meadow.

There is no need to register in advance. Club members will be asked to sign an attendance form. Non-club members will be asked to sign a day trip waiver form and pay $1.

Bring a lunch and warm clothing as the weather at the top of Greenstone Mountain can be variable. Also bring binoculars and a camera. The leader is Paul Johansen.

Here is a list of flowers which has been compiled over the years. Eric McAlary kept track of the flowers and looked up the Latin names to include with the common names. Print off a copy of the list and take it with you so you can try and find all of the flowers on the list....Margaret
