Spring Flower Walk
As the weather warms, some plants try to catch the eye of pollinators by being early flowerers while others go for a burst of many flowers over a very short time. Join NLRA Education & Outreach Manager Mirka Zapletal for a walk around Grey Rocks exploring these understory ephemerals that are often overlooked. Participants should be able to walk 1.5 miles. This program is free and open to all.
