MNPS Field Trip: Civil War Fort Site-Fort DeRussy in Rock Creek Park (Sunday)-NOTE DATE CHANGE

157th walk in the Wild Washington series

NOTE DATE CHANGE TO SUNDAY APRIL 15, 2018!

 (originally scheduled for April 8, changed to April 15)

Back again to Fort DeRussy in Rock Creek Park! We were there just a few weeks ago in February on a rainy Sunday, so we'll have recent recollection and see what is waking now.  We will still be concentrating on tree ID using tree bark, buds and branch structures. We will also identify the evergreens that dot this mostly deciduous wood and should also spot the early spring ephemerals.

Leader: Allen Browne

REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
FREE

Notes: Easy to moderate walk.
Bring:  Binoculars, magnifying glass and your favorite field guide. Water, lunch and a garbage bag to sit on.
