Check out the calendar to see additional walks scheduled through May. All walks are free and no registration is required, just show up at the meeting spot.

Event details: Join us for a beginning plant walk in the rich, diverse plant community at the Birch Bay State Park. The walk will go from the beach through the uplands along a forested trail to the Terrell Creek estuary.

More about this series: These introductory plant identification walks feature an easy pace and will each last about two hours. The walks will focus on a variety of habitats, with your expert guide introducing you to common trees, shrubs, herbaceous plants, and marine algae native to our area. Leaders will share tidbits on ethnobotany, wildlife use, gardening with natives, and other interesting plant related facts. People of all ages and experience levels are welcome. Dress for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes that may get wet. Each walk stands alone, or attend them all to get a free mini-course on plant identification.
