Explore our trails in search of spring wildflowers and ephemerals with Forester Kathleen Stutzman. Admire and identify plants flowering in the early spring, before the overstory trees leaf out. This is a critical and short season for plants on the forest floor, with some completing their entire life cycle in these few short weeks!
The timing of this flowering can be variable in response to environmental conditions, so we can’t know for sure what plants we will see. There will be plants in various forms of emergence and flowering. We’ll enjoy the early spring greenery.
Mud is likely and the walk will travel over uneven terrain, so wear comfortable and supportive shoes.
