KNPS Presentations

The Kinnikinnick Native Plant Society in conjunction with Sandpoint Parks and Recreation have monthly presentations at the Sandpoint Community Hall, 204 S. First Avenue. The meetings are held from 9:45 - 11:30 AM. The meetings are held on the 4th Saturday of each month, January thru June and September thru November.

January 26, 2019  Steve Anderson: Nevada - More than a sagebrush ocean

The basin and range province provides for unique habitats for plant and animal species. Isolated mountain ranges stand in stark contrast to the surrounding deserts and contain many plants that are similar to the northwest. The presentation will concentrate on northeast Nevada and discuss plants, animals and some land management issues.

Steve Anderson graduated from the University of Idaho with a BA in wildlife-fisheries resources and worked for the US Forest Service for more than 30 years. He also spent time in Kenya working for the Peace Corps."
