Think Like an Animal and Blues Crews Work Party

Join Joe Kreuzman from Coyote Trails School of Nature on Saturday, October 5, from 10:00- 11:30 a.m. to learn about animal behavior and how to track local species. Interested hikers should meet at Meet at Madden Brother Performing Arts Center116 Northwest Bridge Street, in John Day, OR. Kreuzman will lead a hike to introduce participants on how to read the signs of wildlife, and what information the tracks reveal about animal travel and behavior, and the implications for our local, interconnected landscape. Tracking is both a science and an art and is fun for all ages

The Blues Crew and the Whitman College Outdoor Program are excited to partner together for a special work party at Lick Creek on Sunday, October 6th from 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Together, members from Blues Crew and the Outdoor Program will work to clear vegetation on the trail beginning at ZigZag Trailhead and ending at Corporation Trailhead.

The work area will be reached from McDougall Road, off Highway 204, approximately 1.5 hours away. The crew will work downward toward Corporation Trailhead and head home via the Umatilla River Road. We will shuttle vehicles from ZigZag Trailhead to Corporation Trailhead. The trail is approximately 3.5 miles long, with much of the work occurring in a densely wooded area with shade.

Those interested in participating can meet at Walla Walla Rangers District Office at 1415 West Rose Street in Walla Walla.
