Join us as we go for a stroll through Atwood Park with our sights set on native wildflowers! The springtime is perfect for finding short-lived ephemerals in bloom no matter where you go. We'll work together to identify as many wildflowers as we can, as well as talking about the importance of planting natives in your own yard.
Please arrive promptly at the Atwood Center. Participants can expect a 1-3 mile hike on easy-to-moderate terrain.
Wildflower Walks are $5 per person.
