Wildflower Walks
In 2013, I started leading wildflower walks through the Biology
Department's Nature Preserve. I will be doing it again this spring, so come on out and
join us to find out what's blooming in the forest! These walks take about two and a half
hours, depending on the number of flowers to see and questions from the participants
along the trail. The meeting point is usually at the stairs in the middle of the
Greenwood Parking Lot (off Bodenheimer Drive, turn left at the Chancellor's
Residence).
I have created a page on facebook for announcements and updates
on wildflower walks and what's blooming. Feel free to "like" the page and participate:
