June Wildflower Walks

In this series, you will learn how to identify native plants and observe how plant communities change throughout the season. Witness the transformation from early bloomers to late bloomers, to setting seeds. Feel free to sign-up for a walk each month or attend only one!
The last three sessions in June, July, and August are explorations of higher elevations in the Deer Park area.
Hikes will be led by wildflower expert John Bridge and Montana Napier, the Education Manager at the River Center. These classes are full day experiences. Bring layers, water, a lunch, and come prepared to carpool to Deer Park in Olympic National Park.
Please note these are intermediate level hikes. While there is not much elevation gain, the trails can be narrow, footing can be challenging in some locations, and there are a few small obstacles (fallen logs, branches, roots, etc.) Distance traveled on foot each day will be about 4-5 miles.
