WNPS Intro Plant Walk: Point Whitehorn Marine Reserve

Join the Koma Kulshan Chapter of the Washington Native Plant Society for a fun, informal series of introductory plant walks to celebrate Washington Native Plant Appreciation Month! 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: Visit this gem of a county park preserved through efforts of the Whatcom Land Trust. The forest floor at Point Whitehorn is carpeted with small wildflowers in the spring. Join us for a walk and learn about the flowers, shrubs, and trees of this forest on the edge of the sea. The walk will take us to the beach. At this time you may choose to linger on the beach or return to the cars.

Meetup location: Point Whitehorn Marine Reserve Park

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.
