About the Outing: Spring’s here! Please join Jeff for a guided nature walk at Spot and Quarter Mile Ponds. Our focus will be on plant ID along with some select natural history. We’ll use helpful identifiers such as branching patterns, buds, galls, leaves, flowers and diagnostic characteristics that enable us to immediately identify the plant. We’ll also look for Spring Ephemerals, woodland wildflowers that emerge quickly in early spring, bloom, and produce seeds before dying back to their underground parts for the rest of the year.

We will meet at the Flynn Rink Parking Lot in Medford, MA.

** Please do not register unless you can absolutely attend this walk. We often have waitlists and would like as many people as possible to be able to attend **
