May 10, 2018 (Saturday) 10:00 – 12:00 – “The Woods in March”
Meet a little early at Riddle Cabin for refreshments – we’ll have the big porcelain coffee pot on and peach cobbler in the Dutch oven.
For this Saturday trail walk, we’ll check out the ferns and mosses on the forest floor, taking note of the winter buds on shrubs and trees along the trail. Winter identification of trees and shrubs involves a look at bark patterns, twig growth, and bud structure. What can the March woods teach us?
Bring a lunch & stay afterwards for a look at the new outdoor classroom pavilion.
