A can structure competition among Treasure Valley architectural firms and other local businesses.
Competing teams design and build sculptures made entirely of canned goods. These canned good sculptures provide an engaging way for visitors to learn about the fight against hunger in Idaho and promote the presence and capabilities of various local architectural firms and other organizations. The public has the opportunity to vote during the week of June 17th-26th.
After the sculptures are dismantled, all canned goods are donated to the Idaho Food bank.

Join us for a slow stroll on nearby easy to moderate trails as we appreciate native blooming plants and other flora and fauna of our area. Walks will be led by naturalists, birders, botanists and wildflower enthusiasts. Scroll down for information on couple of noteworthy walks we have lined up for this season! These are not to be missed!

These FREE walks will occur every Thursday from May 22-July 17 (with the exception of July 3). We will rendezvous at Sawtooth Botanical Garden at 9am and follow each other or carpool to the trailhead. Children under 14 are welcome with an adult. No dogs please! Bring clothing appropriate for changing weather, hiking shoes (leave those flip fops and dress shoes at home, folks), sun protection, plenty of water and a lunch for yourself. A camera, field guide, binoculars and notebook may help with identifying and remembering plants.
