Relocating Aase's Onion
Saturday, Sept. 24, 8:45 a.m
Ridley's Market, Boise, Idaho
[Rescheduled from June 18.] A new phase of the Hidden Hollow Landfill will displace several populations of Aase's onion, and Rod Burke has offered a new home for them at the IBG. Join fellow rare plant enthusiasts for 4-5 hours of roping the wily wild onion and really bring native plants "home" to future garden visitors. Meet at Ridley's Market (formerly Crane Creek Market) on Bogus Basin Road. Bring gloves, hats, shovels, trowels, sunscreen, water and lunch. For more information, contact Judy Ferguson at judy.ferguson at ch2m dot com.

Forest Service Dropping Endangered Species, Riparian and Archaeological Reviews
The Bush Administration continues to eradicate requirements and opportunities for public and scientific review of public lands management activities that may harm imperiled plant species and communities. The Administration is proposing to eliminate reviews by outside agencies, such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or the Environmental Protection Agency, of Forest Service projects that may threaten plants or their habitats. For more information on the Bush Administration's approach to science see the California Native Plant Society's web page on the topic:
