Newshounds:
How could you resist a story that you can slug “Amalga Barrens”?
Here's the newstip. Not for the tour—which could make a good story by itself. But the larger issue story is about the Bridgerland Audubon Society’s purchase and protection of this chunk of land. As always, when people are passionate about a thing—as these people are—good stories can emerge. See below....

Bridgerland Audubon Society (BAS) fought long and hard to block a dam at the Amalga Barrens. We then purchased 150 acres to make sure we had a voice in any future dam discussion. See why this place is so special. These leaders will show you migrating shorebirds that are on their way to the far Arctic north. Places such as the Barrens are critical refueling spots on this arduous journey. Our visitors should be in full breeding plummage by now and glorious to behold.
April 19: Amalga Barrens for Shorebirds and Spring Wildflowers. We will be looking for early spring migrants and wildflowers with Keith Archibald and Reinhard Jockel. Meet at the parking lot between the Caffe Ibis and the Logan Fire Station (50 East 150 North in Logan) at 9 a.m. For more info call Keith at 752-8258 or Dick Hurren at (435) 720-7074.

Story Idea

Actually this does sound kind of interesting. I always wondered what these nature lovers talk about at their meetings. (tee hee hee) I might actually be able to swing that meeting on Sat. morning too. Has anyone else taken interest in this story idea?
I'm still researching though...if I can make it to this deal I'll go and let you know my story by Monday.
