Spring Wildflower Walk
Public Welcome Family Friendly Free Event Nature Walk/Hike Public Restroom
DATE FOR THIS EVENT IS TENTATIVE DEPENDING ON SPRING CONDITIONS!
Join us "up north" for an afternoon of exploring spring wildflowers in Alger County. Our walk will be led by Deb Leblanc. Deb retired after 40 years of service as the Hiawatha NF West Zone plant ecologist/botanist and Hiawatha NF Native Plant program coordinator. We are thrilled to have her share her expertise with us!
Meet at the Miner's Castle overlook parking lot in Pictured Rocks near Munising. From there we will check other spots along Miner's Castle Rd. to see a variety of species. Remember that Pictured Rocks now has an entry fee, so participants should have an entry pass for this event. They can be purchased online (https://www.nps.gov/piro/planyourvisit/fees.htm) or at the visitor's station at the Lakeshore once it opens in May.
Count on it being buggy! Bring bug spray, wear long pants and sleeves, and consider a head net.
