SUMMER 2008

 Wildflower Hikes

Saturdays, June 21st, July 19th and August 16th, 2008

8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.

Join us as we venture out into the field (Crex Meadows or Fish Lake Wildlife Areas) in search of summer wildflowers.   We will drive to the starting point, perhaps stopping along the way to see some roadside flowers, but will walk into the woods or meadows in search of off-the-beaten path flowers.  Ample time will be allowed to take photos. 

Please gather at the visitor center 10-15 minutes before the start time.  We will carpool to the starting points (to be determined before the hike).  It is not necessary to register for these events.  The hikes may be rescheduled in case of rain.
