We will meet at 9:00 at the CVS (formerly Rite Aid) in Ashland and make our way into the Monument from there. Carpooling is optional but encouraged.

Odonata is an incredible group of insects that is made up of Dragonflies, Damselflies, and their relatives. On Saturday we will go to Fredenburg Meadow/Pond and observe/catch some of the species that can be found in the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument.
