DESCRIPTION:The Camas Prairie - An Historical and Cultural Perspectiv
 e\nWith Forest Shomer\nSunday\, March 1\, 2026. 3:30-4:30 pm\nKah Tai 
 Prairie is a 1.4-acre remnant of the once vast prairies that carpeted 
 the Kah Tai Valley between the Straits of Juan de Fuca and Port Townse
 nd Bay. Though development has dramatically transformed this area\, a 
 portion of the original prairie remains within the Port Townsend Golf 
 Course. The Olympic Chapter of the Washington Native Plant Society ha
 s been working to preserve and restore this unique botanical site sinc
 e 1986. \nWith years of work from dedicated volunteers\, the prairie 
 is a stunning sight in the spring and summer\, with a variety of wildf
 lowers and prairie plants on display. Regular work parties focus on st
 abilizing prairie plant communities and controlling weeds\, with the g
 oal of promoting herbaceous prairie species. The prairie is home to ov
 er 90 different species\, 27 of which are prairie indicator species. T

 hapter of the Washington Native Plant Society. \nFOREST SHOMER is a p
