On March 2, the Museum of Idaho was running a pop-in program to teach children and adults how people use plants for food, for medicine, and for tools, such as salicylic acid acid in willow bark, which can be used to treat fever and headaches. The museum was lacking staff and needed volunteers, and three members helped.
Members from left to right: Maddie Cutts, Crew Belnap, and Michael Wu
