Public Welcome Program/Speaker Presentation Group Tour Nature Walk/Hike Free Public Parking
Time and date may change - It will be determined by season and timing of ephemerals (we have to go on their schedule, not ours).
Spring ephemerals such as Mayapple, Trout Lilu, Spring Beauty, Dutchman's Breeches, Hepatica, Virginia Bluebells, wood poppies, Jack-in-the-Pulpit, and more. Wild Ramps may also be seen. Since spring ephemerals pop up in woods before the trees leaf out and complete their life cycles very quickly, Spring is the only time to see these beauties.
We will offer a ride share from Emmaus Church in Northfield.
