Lunch & Learn & Look for Whitebark Pine on Mt Bachelor

Kick off your weekend a little early and join us for a free lunch at Mt Bachelor! Learn about the threatened keystone species, whitebark pine, and how your winter adventures can help protect it. Lunch will include how you can collect the critical data that land managers and researchers need to conserve whitebark pine.

Afterwards, join us for a ski out to a collection of whitebark pine stewarded by Mt Bachelor! We’ll get to see these important trees up close and in person. Snag a lift ticket in advance: HERE.

Can’t take the afternoon off to ski? No worries – just join us for lunch! You can always incorporate whitebark pine research into another winter adventure later. Lunch (and whitebark pine fun facts) provided.
