Ryerson's Woods State Preserve
Join us for a hike to appreciate some of our region's most elusive native wildflowers, spring ephemerals.
Location: Meet in the "Old Hwy 218 S Parking" lot on the eastern side of the preserve, here https://maps.app.goo.gl/VqyTNPfxL36HemuQ9
Early-blooming wildflowers such as Spring Beauty, Dutchman’s Breeches, Blue Phlox, Bloodroot, White Trout Lily, Toothwort, Hepatica, and Bellwort appear fleetingly at Ryerson's Woods before the before the Oak-Hickory woodland canopy closes.
Master Naturalist Eric Miller will be on hand to highlight the unique life cycle and ecological role of these fleeting blooms, and the crucial support they provide to early pollinators.
This event is for members-only, however a few spots may be opened up to non-members the week of the event.
