Legacy Park Walk - “Spring Ephemerals”
Saturday May 3, 2025 @ 10:30am
Meet at Trailhead on Wayne Road west off Haggerty Rd. (see map)
Let's watch the woods wake up together!
Before our native trees fully leaf out, spring ephemeral wildflowers must complete their entire annual growth and reproduction while the sunlight still reaches to the ground where they live. Join arborist Jim Porterfield and botanist Celia Larsen as they explore what early wildflowers can be found in Legacy Park and how we can identify some of the mature trees as their buds burst open. This is a special, fleeting, vibrant time of year. Don't miss it!!
20 person limit. Advance registration required.
