YOU ARE INVITED!
WENAS CAMPOUT, May 25-28, 2007
New, updated website!!! www.wenasaudubon.org

For over 38 years Audubon families have been camping at the Wenas Creek
Campground officially named the Hazel Wolf Wenas Creek Bird Sanctuary.
The
location, SW of Ellensburg, is now in an ³Important Bird Area² which
Auduboners have been assured will be in protective status soon.
The free, ³primitive² campground along the north fork of Wenas Creek has
exceptional opportunities for birding, botanizing and enjoying spring in
the
eastern foothills of the Cascades.

* The campground is about 2,500' elevation, can be quite cold at night,
hot
during day. 
* Bring water for drinking (the creek is beautiful and bountiful but not
potable). 
* We set up tents or use ³pick-up² type campers.
* We all share in the rent of portable toilets for four days.
* Bicycles and Frisbees are fun, telescopes and cameras standard gear.
* Please leave pets at home.
* There are organized field trips throughout the Wenas drainage and WA
DF&W
management areas and some on private property at owners¹ requests.
* In camp we have natural history workshops with some of the state's top
birders, WNPS botanists, entomologists etc.
*There is an old-fashioned campfire in the evening with singing, story
telling and recapping the sightings of the day.
