PCEI's 3rd Annual Camas Restoration Planting
The wet meadows along Paradise Creek were traditionally a gathering place for the Nez Perce and other tribes to dig camas, dance, play games, arrange marriages, and renew relationships. With a little help from PCEI, students from Moscow and Lapwai gathered in these same meadows, now drastically altered, to learn about camas and to bring it back.
