Spring Ephemeral Nature Hike: 

This hike is all about exploring the waking world of Spring! Listen for bird songs and amphibians calling, like spring peepers and wood frogs. We will also be looking for spring ephemerals, plants that pop up in early spring, produce leaves, flowers, and seeds but then disappear when the summer perennials are at their peak of display. You'll have the chance to spot, identify, and learn about a variety of ephemerals, including trillium, bloodroot, twin leaf, false rue anemone, and wild ginger.

So, grab your water bottle, supportive shoes, tick and bug repellant, and your camera and binoculars, and join us for a morning of adventure and learning. And don't forget - leave your furry friends at home, so we don't scare away any potential wildlife!
