Join us on a hunt for those elusive harbingers of spring! We will meet at Winans meadow and explore a stream valley, rock outcrops, and some seeps and a hillside area recovering from a bush fire in 2024. We may or may not see the effects of the deer management proposed to be carried out in March 2026.
Total walk length: 1-2 miles
Folks aged 10+ who enjoy quiet concentration and learning about botany are welcome. Botany beginners are welcome!
Please leave your dogs at home
This event will be limited to 15 participants. Registration will begin on March 18th.
