Spring Ephemeral Walk

  • Saturday, May 10, 2025, 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM

Spring ephemerals are harbingers of the changing season. They pop up before early before trees have leafed out and fill the forest with a short burst of color. Come discover the different species you can find in our woods each spring on this walk. The trail is one mile long and mostly flat but with uneven ground, please wear sturdy shoes and dress for weather.
