WILDERNESS -- The Selway-Bitterroot Frank Church Foundation -- a group that offers all sorts of hands-on support for the two fabled Idaho wilderness areas -- is holding its 6th Annual Winter Gathering and Fundraiser Saturday (Feb. 4) starting at 6:30 p.m. at The Orchid Room in Lewiston.

The foundation is an honorable group with 2012 plans that will interest people who support and enjoy wilderness. The evening includes wilderness-oriented auctions along with wine, beer and hors d’ouvres.

The keynote speaker is Forest Service fisheries biologist Katherine Thompson, who's doing fisheries research on the Selway River.
