Spring Wildflower Walk #1

About this event

The parking area is located at the north end of the park off NY Route 236 (~1/4+ mile south of its intersection with NY Route 146).  We’ll meet in the open-air picnic pavilion along the trail immediately across from the parking area.  We will stroll along both the north and south loops of the nature trail (~0.9 mile round trip).  Trail surface is crushed stone – please wear proper footwear if you intend to step off the trail to view plants up close.

Among others, we may encounter these native blooming beauties during our outing:  Black Cherry (Prunus serotina), Chokecherry (Prunus virginiana), Common Blue-eyed Grass (Sisyrinchium montanum), Mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum), and Wild Geranium (Geranium maculatum).

Learn more about the following species from past or forthcoming posts that are part of my weekly series entitled "What Wildflower Begins Blooming This Week?":

• Chokecherry (post published 5/13/2023)
