Botany

We will usually meet on Fridays at 9:30 AM from May 3 to July 19, with the exception of the May 8 trip, at 9:30 on a Wednesday.

The following schedule showcases what we consider to be particularly good places and times for flowering plants (and mushrooms). Bring water, lunch and appropriate clothing/footwear for the day (we are usually done by 2 PM). Meeting time and place will be confirmed the week before each outing by email and on the CONC calendar.

Email botany@okanagannature.org for further details.
