About this Event

Learn to recognize our spring wildflowers in their native habitat. Scout for trilliums, orchids, and other spring wildflowers alongside Blandy’s Assistant Curator for the Native Plant Trail Jack Monsted.

What to expect: We will walk ~1.5 on hiking trails with occasional steep uphill and downhill sections, stopping frequently to observe flowers.

Audience: This program is designed for adults and children aged 12 and up.

What to bring: Wear comfortable walking shoes, dress for the weather, and bring a full water bottle. Bug spray suggested (gnats). If you’d like, bring materials to take notes and a favorite wildflower field guide or smart phone identification app (e.g., iNaturalist).

Where to meet: Meet at the Thompson Wildlife Management Area Trillium Parking Lot (directions provided following registration).
