Join Naturalist Amy as we explore Fleming Woods State Preserve, focusing on spring ephemeral wildlflowers such as Dutchman's breeches, and Virginia bluebells. This event is open to people of all ages. Long pants and closed toed shoes are recommened. We will be walking through woods without a maintained trail - however, the pace will be slow as we look at the spring plant life.
RSVP required at least 2 hours prior to start time. Call or text 319-213-5607 to RSVP or with any questions.
