Registration

  • Log in required

Registration is closed

Leader: Kathy Daniel and David Braun

Location: American Chestnut Land Trust, South Side, Calvert County

  • 1pm Slide show at Scientists’ Cliffs Association (SCA) Community House
  • 2pm Walk on a nearby ACLT trail to identify ephemeral spring wildflowers

Please join us for a Spring Wildflower Show and Tell followed by a walk in the American Chestnut Land Trust (ACLT). It will be a great time to review the wildflowers in our area and hopefully identify some not so common native species. Several knowledgeable “botanizers” will be present to help answer questions and identify our ephemeral (fleeting) wildflowers during the walk.

We will meet at the Scientists’ Cliffs Community House for the slide show, then walk to ACLT. Wear sensible walking shoes and garments to fit the weather. ACLT has miles of trails, but we normally only walk about a half mile as the plant identification tends to slow us down greatly.

Kathy Daniel & David Braun are Maryland Master Naturalists and members of the Maryland Native Plant Society and Wild Ones Chesapeake Bay chapter.

For additional information: David Braun, dbraun7247@yahoo.com, 703-258-4998

If it is raining heavily, we will have the slide show on April 5 at 1 pm and the walk on April 6 at 2 pm, providing the weather cooperates.

ONLINE REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. Registration closes April 2 to allow time to process required parking permits. Limited to 20 people. Directions will be included in registration confirmation.

Bring: tick repellant/clothes, water & snacks, field guides. There is usually a restroom (port-a-potty).
