Fall flowers are essential for pollinators and other wildlife. We will look at some of the field flowers and wetland flowers that can be found in this highly diverse native prairie, and perhaps learn a few grasses too. Please bring a hand lens if you have one. A plant list will be provided. Shawn Severance leads this walk. 10 people maximum. Please email [email protected] to register. Meet at the Blue Heron Bay Parking Lot.
