Join us for a Wildflower Walk ~April 29 1-4pm

Join us for a wildflower walk with Carole Bergmann

​A Spring Wildflower hike in the Maryland Piedmont is a very special experience! Join us for a "botanical exploration" of the distinctive complex of habitats stewarded by the IWL near Poolesville, MD. We can expect to see a wide variety of wildflower species, including some very uncommon plants, as community types will range from upland woodlands, meadows and pond-edge assemblages, to include a unique "Triassic Red shale" habitat area. This notable shale barrens area supports a number of uncommon to rare native plants, and participants will see how vegetation in this small dry shale community differs greatly from the species we see in the moist, rich riparian buffer areas. Carole will also point out birds, insects and amphibians along the way. Expect to hike on natural surface trails, with some ups and downs. Wear suitable footwear, bring water. SPACE IS LIMITED!
